Uptown Row House, Waiting to be Reborn!

Opportunities like this don't come along often. Steps from Broadway in Hamilton Heights, an entire row house is waiting for its next chapter to unfold. Built in 1899, the property has four stories altogether, including the lowest level with its own private front and back walkouts. Work needs to be done, but the reward potential is sky-high.

This historic multi-unit residence can be whatever you choose it to be, from an income generator to a completely transformed single-family residence. At present, there are two kitchens, four bathrooms, five living/family rooms, a dining room, four bedrooms and five decorative fireplaces. Bring your imagination because the rooms as described, are simply spaces surrounded by walls. You may wind up tearing down some of those walls and creating modern open layouts for the 21st century!

There is also lovely architectural detailing still present throughout the building, including old world millwork, glorious fireplace mantels, built-ins, original cabinetry, and a remarkable butler's pantry. You'll find lots of tall windows throughout, as well as a hallway skylight at the top level.

There's a terraced back yard as well, with brick and cinderblock walls for privacy. With a little work the dream of your own outdoor oasis in the city can become a reality! With trains and buses close by, transportation is abundant. Just outside your door are restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and bakeries.
