About This Property
Space is valuable. Flexibility is rare. A thoughtfully configured Harlem townhouse that offers both is even rarer.
Currently configured as three residential units, 158 West 119th Street is a four-story Harlem townhouse that offers the rare combination of generous scale, income-producing potential, and remarkable flexibility.
Encompassing nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space, this classic 1920 residence is equally compelling for investors, owner-occupants, or those seeking a multi-generational home in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods.
The owner's duplex serves as a spacious primary residence, offering three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and direct access to a private patio-an inviting extension of the living space for outdoor dining, gardening, or quiet relaxation.
The second-floor residence features three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the top-floor residence offers two bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
Throughout the home, each residence is thoughtfully designed with soaring ceilings, oversized windows that fill the interiors with natural light, individually controlled heating, in-unit washer and dryer, and the generous proportions that define classic Harlem townhouse living.
The property's existing configuration provides immediate income-producing potential while preserving the flexibility to adapt to a variety of ownership strategies over time.
Rich in architectural character and timeless appeal, the home stands on a picturesque Harlem brownstone block just moments from celebrated restaurants, neighborhood cafés, cultural institutions, parks, and convenient transportation.
Whether expanding an investment portfolio, creating a live-plus-income residence, or simply enjoying the flexibility of a thoughtfully configured multi-family home, 158 West 119th Street offers a rare opportunity to own a property that can evolve with your vision for years to come.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Three residences sit within this four-story townhouse at 158 West 119th Street, and each one has full bathrooms of its own. The owner's duplex has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, and you can step out to the private patio straight from the duplex. Upstairs, the second floor residence has three bedrooms with two bathrooms, while the top floor residence has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A townhouse gives you more separation across floors than a single-level apartment does, and that's the main appeal of this layout. Each residence is self-contained, so the setup suits a family that wants separate quarters under one roof, or an owner who wants to live in one part and keep the others in use. Stairs and upkeep are part of that trade-off, so weigh them against the space. It's worth walking the stairs yourself to see how the three residences connect.
Each residence has its own washer and dryer, so laundry stays inside your own door. Central air runs through the house, and each residence has individually controlled heating and oversized windows. The owner's duplex has the private patio for outdoor dining, gardening or quiet time, and the property also includes a private garden.
Marcus Garvey Park is about 7 minutes away on foot, and Morningside Park is about 10 minutes. The 116 St station on the 2 and 3 is about 5 minutes away, and the Apollo Theater is about 10 minutes on foot. C-Town and Lidl are each within about 6 minutes. Pets are allowed, and the building is smoke-free.
