## Property Overview

Prime Central Harlem 3-Unit Townhouse | 3,840 SF

This 3,840 square foot, three-unit townhouse offers an exceptional opportunity for both end users and investors in the heart of Central Harlem.

The property features a beautifully renovated owner’s duplex, highlighted by a modern kitchen with direct access to the backyard, perfect for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. The owner’s unit is complemented by a full-size finished basement, ideal for storage, recreation, or flexible bonus space.

All apartments feature hardwood floors and high ceilings, enhancing the classic townhouse charm throughout. The upper-floor apartments are generously sized and serve as excellent income-producing units, providing strong rental potential and long-term value.

Major building systems are well maintained, with the boiler and sprinkler system both in excellent condition, offering peace of mind for future ownership.

Conveniently located near transportation, the home is just steps from the express Green Line on 125th Street (4, 5, 6 trains) and only one block west of the 2 and 3 trains, allowing for a quick commute—approximately 20 minutes to Grand Central and Times Square.

A rare opportunity to own a turnkey, income-generating townhouse in one of Harlem’s most accessible and desirable locations.

Based on house sales in Harlem with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

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.

Sales data through September 2026.

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 1017500064. 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.
