Certain streets encourage you to take your time. West 149th Street has long been one of those blocks. Whether heading east or west , it has always been worth the walk. Standing as naturally today as it has for generations, 531 West 149th Street is a beautiful example of Romanesque Revival design. Its rounded bays, carved brownstone detailing, elegant stoop, and wrought-iron gate offer only the first indication of the warmth, craftsmanship, and individuality waiting within. Long before arriving at the first residence, the house begins telling its story. Mosaic tile floors, rich wood paneling, wainscoting, transoms, and millwork introduce an earlier era, where craftsmanship found its place in everyday spaces. Above, the galvanized steel skylight fills the central stair hall with an ever-changing, sculptural interplay of light and shadow. Each residence is individual in its own way, yet unmistakably part of a greater whole. Throughout the house, fireplace ensembles remain among its finest details. Carved wood mantels with overmantel mirrors, richly patterned ceramic tile surrounds and hearths, and sculptural cast-iron fireboxes define the principal rooms. Elevated ceilings, moldings, trim, millwork, tall windows framed by their time-honored interior shutters, and north and south exposures further distinguish each residence. Kitchens have been thoughtfully refreshed through the years, never asking the house to become something it was never meant to be. Each full-floor residence retains both front and rear entrances, a feature offering flexibility while recalling an earlier way of living. The southern-facing rooms enjoy a wonderful relationship with the surrounding canopy. Depending upon the season, the rooms seem to rest beneath the leaves, among them, or just above them, gently reminding you that nature still has a place in Manhattan. The third-floor rounded bay becomes one of the house's favorite places, its built-in window seat asking nothing of you except to stay a little longer. Above, the fourth-floor bath offers its own retreat beneath a skylight, a place to disappear for a while. There is still room for imagination here. Currently arranged as four free-market residences, the house asks nothing of its next owner while leaving room to make it their own. Carefully maintained, it has benefited from ongoing improvements, including a recent roof replacement, reflecting the same thoughtful care found throughout. With approximately 3,500 square feet above grade, a 788-square-foot cellar, and 928 square feet of outdoor space, the property is further complemented by more than 1,600 square feet of additional FAR, offering flexibility for those who may wish to thoughtfully expand in the future, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. Get to know the allure of Hamilton Heights. A century ago, and every bit as much today, there is something undeniably head turning about this part of Manhattan. Here, within the historic Sugar Hill section, it is easy to appreciate how one place could contain so much magnificence. This wonderful community is within minutes of all the best New York City has to offer and is well positioned for fast and easy bridge, tunnel, train, bus, and highway access in and out of Manhattan. Riverside Park, Riverbank State Park, Columbia University, City College, and your essential amenities are all within blocks. Whether the occasion calls for dressing up or not, and whether you fancy a first-rate, quick, or casual-style meal, this neighborhood has it all checked out. Some houses impress the moment you arrive. Others reveal themselves a little at a time. 531 West 149th Street does both, leaving a lasting impression not because it asks for attention, but because it never tried to. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 4 - **Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 4,300 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $465 - **Monthly Taxes**: $2,040 / mo - **Listed On**: Jul 15, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 54 Days ### Residence Features - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Smoke Free ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Hamilton Heights is $2,195,000, based on 11 sales between February 2022 and July 2026. This home is asking $2,000,000, $195,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,780,000 and $2,525,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,195,000 - **Middle half**: $1,780,000 – $2,525,000 - **Based on**: 11 house sales in Hamilton Heights - **Period**: February 2022 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $504/ft² Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 92.3% 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 Hamilton Heights. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 92.3% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 6 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 208 days (about 30 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 52 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 92.3% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 208 days (about 30 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 7 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 52 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 8 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 11 house sales in Hamilton Heights, February 2022 – July 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 1020810118. 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.
