140 W 132nd St, New York, NY 10027

Property Description

Own a piece of Central Harlem for close to the cost of renting. 140 West 132nd Street is a free-market, three-unit townhouse on one of Harlem's most coveted landmarked blocks, set up so you can live in the sun-filled owner's duplex while two rental units help carry the mortgage. All three units are free-market with no rent-stabilization risk, giving investors and end-users rare flexibility: occupy one unit and rent the rest, hold all three for income, or grow into the whole house over time. The Owner's Duplex: Garden & Parlor (3 BR/2 BA).Three generous bedrooms (room for king- and queen-sized beds), two full baths, refinished hardwood floors, an open kitchen with stainless appliances, in-unit laundry, and direct access to a private rear yard and basement. A true owner's residence with outdoor space, a rarity at this price point in Harlem. Unit #2: One Bedroom. A spacious bedroom with abundant closet space and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. Updated appliances. Unit #3: One-Bedroom. Fully renovated with refinished hardwood floors and a bright, modern layout. Built-In Upside & Flexibility: In-place rents sit below market, leaving clear room to grow income as units turn. Longer term, the property's footprint supports a recombination into a grand single-family townhouse, a sought-after move on Harlem's landmarked blocks, or other conversions (subject to applicable Landmarks and DOB approvals). Its location within a protected historic district of roughly 164 row houses is itself a long-term floor on value: this block can't be overbuilt.
