## Property Overview

Imagine owning a Manhattan townhouse where you can wake up in a beautifully renovated duplex overlooking Lenox Avenue while your investment works for you downstairs.

273 Lenox Avenue offers an ownership opportunity that is remarkably difficult to find in Manhattan: a luxury owner's residence combined with two separate commercial spaces that can generate substantial income or serve as the perfect home for your own business.

The upper two floors are configured as a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex filled with natural light and soaring ceilings. Large windows frame vibrant Lenox Avenue views while offering the privacy and comfort of a true home. Whether you're entertaining, working remotely, or simply enjoying life in one of Harlem's most dynamic neighborhoods, this residence feels worlds apart from a typical Manhattan apartment.

Below, two independent commercial units create exceptional flexibility. The street-level storefront enjoys direct retail access and outstanding visibility along Lenox Avenue, making it ideal for retail, gallery, showroom, medical, wellness, or professional office use. Above it, a completely separate second-floor office suite provides another income-producing space or the perfect headquarters for your own business.

This is the rare property that adapts to your life. Live upstairs and lease both commercial spaces. Occupy one office while collecting rent from the other. Build your business below while eliminating your commute. Or lease all three units for a projected 7.14% capitalization rate, creating an investment that is nearly impossible to replicate at this price point.

Extensively gut renovated in the 2010s, the building was thoughtfully modernized with separate HVAC systems serving each unit independently. A full-height, dry cellar with sidewalk hatch access provides exceptional storage rarely found in Manhattan buildings.

Mixed-use properties of this caliber are exceedingly scarce. Finding one below $5 million is uncommon. Finding one under $3 million—offering a renovated owner's duplex, multiple commercial income streams, modern building systems, and extraordinary flexibility—is virtually unheard of.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, physician, attorney, architect, creative professional, investor, or simply someone who wants to own the building they live in, 273 Lenox Avenue represents one of Harlem's most compelling owner-user opportunities.

## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable condo two-bedroom sales in Harlem is $997,000, based on 18 sales between January 2025 and June 2026. This home is asking $2,800,000, $1,803,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $950,000 and $1,087,500.

- **Median closed price**: $997,000
- **Middle half**: $950,000 – $1,087,500
- **Based on**: 18 condo two-bedroom sales in Harlem
- **Period**: January 2025 – June 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $884/ft²

Across the 14 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 79% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Harlem instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.4% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 79% of 14 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 182 days (about 26 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 66 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 14 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 79% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 182 days (about 26 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 14 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 66 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 14 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 18 condo two-bedroom sales in Harlem, January 2025 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for condo and house two-bedroom sales in Harlem, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $1,283,750 | 24 |
| 2018 | $1,315,000 | 19 |
| 2019 | $1,206,000 | 18 |
| 2020 | $1,035,000 | 15 |
| 2021 | $1,095,000 | 34 |
| 2022 | $1,405,000 | 30 |
| 2023 | $1,250,000 | 11 |
| 2024 | $1,499,000 | 13 |
| 2025 | $1,050,000 | 13 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Harlem instead.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1019080133. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
