Designated as part of the St. Nicholas Historic District, Striver's Row is renowned for its grand late 19th-century townhomes, picturesque tree-lined streets, and rich cultural legacy. Once home to some of Harlem's most accomplished professionals, artists, and visionaries, the neighborhood continues to represent a rare blend of historic grandeur and vibrant city living. Rich in original character, this remarkable residence with private garage offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Bathed in natural light from both southern and northern exposures, the home is enhanced by two expansive skylights-each measuring approximately 11.5 feet in length-that illuminate the interiors throughout the day. Original wood staircases, intricate moldings, oversized windows, and exposed stone details on the parlor level pay homage to the home's historic roots while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the home, a spectacular oversized kitchen is designed to impress both avid cooks and entertainers alike. Outfitted with a Viking six-burner chef's range, an oversized Sub-Zero refrigerator, abundant cabinetry, and exceptional storage, the space offers endless possibilities for gathering, dining, and everyday living. The upper levels feature full bathrooms on both the third and fourth floors, while the serene primary suite boasts a spa-inspired bath crowned by a beautiful skylight, creating a tranquil retreat. Generous proportions and oversized north- and south-facing windows further enhance the home's airy, light-filled feel. Currently configured as a two-family residence, the property also offers the potential to be converted into a three-family home (subject to applicable approvals), presenting exceptional flexibility for homeowners, multigenerational living, or investment opportunities. A home of this caliber-where historic architectural details, generous proportions, abundant natural light, and remarkable versatility converge-is a true Harlem treasure. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York City's architectural and cultural history on one of its most celebrated residential blocks. Some photos have been virtually staged. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 6 - **Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 3,900 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $513 - **Monthly Taxes**: $555 / mo - **Listed On**: Aug 3, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 42 Days ### Residence Features - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Juliet Balcony - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Smoke Free - Dishwasher - Washer Dryer Allowed ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Central Harlem is $2,272,500, based on 8 sales between September 2021 and June 2026. This home is asking $1,999,999, $272,501 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,156,250 and $2,738,750. - **Median closed price**: $2,272,500 - **Middle half**: $2,156,250 – $2,738,750 - **Based on**: 8 house sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: September 2021 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 8 sales (50%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Floor areas are usually recorded for house sales, so this is a thin patch in the records rather than the norm. Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 87.7% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Central Harlem. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 87.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 6 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 212 days (about 30 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 54 days (about 8 weeks) Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 87.7% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 212 days (about 30 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 54 days (about 8 weeks), based on the 7 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 8 house sales in Central Harlem, September 2021 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.

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 1020240052. 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.
