About This Property

FULLY RENOVATED 2-FAMILY TOWNHOUSE IN PRIME MOTT HAVEN :: MODERN FINISHES, ORIGINAL DETAILS & UNDENIABLE CHARM

457 E 143rd Street presents a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated two-family townhouse in the heart of Mott Haven - one that is truly move-in ready while offering immediate rental income from the garden-level apartment. Thoughtfully renovated to blend modern functionality with original architectural character, this home eliminates the need for a gut renovation or the complicated process of converting a single-family home into a two-family residence. The work has already been done.

Enter the parlor floor through the home's original hand-carved wooden doors and into a gracious front-facing great room featuring 9' 8" ceilings, a decorative fireplace with original marble mantle, exposed brick walls with visible studs, and solid wood ceiling beams. Southern-facing windows fill the space with natural light throughout the day, creating an inviting living and dining area with tremendous character.

The adjoining modern open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with breakfast-bar seating, generous countertop and cabinet space, custom Corian countertops, soft-close cabinetry, subway-tiled walls, and stainless steel appliances. French doors open directly to the rear deck, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow for dining and entertaining. A renovated windowed full bathroom with walk-in shower and marble subway tile completes this level.

Upstairs, the original staircase railing and newel post lead to the bedroom level, where a strategically placed skylight brings additional natural light into the hallway from approximately 11 feet above. The higher ceilings and preserved architectural details give this floor the classic character of a pre-war New York City townhouse.

The primary bedroom faces south and features two closets, a decorative fireplace, and ample room for a king-sized bedroom set plus additional furniture or a home office area. The second bedroom faces the rear of the home, offering a quieter setting. A bright bonus room with skylight provides flexibility as a nursery, home office, dressing room, or potential third sleeping area. A full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located in the hallway alongside a second renovated windowed full bathroom with tub/shower combination and marble subway tile.

The garden level features a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, providing an excellent income-producing component to the property or an inlaw suite for out of town family or guests. The apartment offers a full-size stainless steel kitchen, windowed bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer. The queen-sized bedroom has direct access to the home's fully landscaped backyard, which features multiple seating areas, planter beds, and low-maintenance artificial turf - creating an outdoor space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

The full basement houses the mechanical systems and provides substantial dry storage.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.

Solid wood ceiling beams and exposed brick with visible studs run through the front great room, which also has 9'8 ceilings and a decorative fireplace with an original marble mantel. The hand-carved wooden doors, staircase railing and newel post all date from the house's 1899 construction.

The south-facing windows bring light into the living and dining area for much of the day. On an open horizon, a south window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun near the winter solstice and about 6.1 hours near the summer solstice, though nearby buildings can block it.

I like that the open kitchen sits right beside the living space. It has breakfast-bar seating, custom Corian countertops, soft-close cabinetry, subway-tiled walls, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop and a gas oven. French doors open straight onto the rear deck, so cooking and eating outdoors are easy to combine.

The primary bedroom faces south and has two closets and its own decorative fireplace, with room for a king-sized bedroom set and more furniture or a desk. Upstairs, a skylight about 11 feet up brings light into the hallway. A full-size washer and dryer are also on that level, so you won't need to leave the floor for laundry.

People's Park is about 4 minutes away on foot, and the 6 train at Brook Av is about 7 minutes. The 2 and 5 at 3 Av-149 St are about 8 minutes away.

The garden level is a separate apartment. The listing presents it as either an income-producing part of the property or an inlaw suite for family or guests.
