This 19th-century brownstone is part of the Manhattan Avenue West 120th–123rd Streets Historic District, and has benefitted from those preservation efforts in helping maintain its historic character. Around 2020, new, historic-approved windows were installed and brownstone repair was undertaken. In 2025, flashing, waterproofing, and new gutters were installed on the roof. The house received a brand-new boiler in 2026.

The airy, loft-like layout of the house lends itself to modern living, with charming elements such as decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, exposed beams, and hardwood floors.

Live in one spacious unit while collecting solid income from the other, or combine the living spaces for use as a single family. This one should not be missed!
