Reihenhaus East Harlem

Exceptional Six-Unit Brownstone Investment Opportunity

Rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained income-producing brownstone offering strong in-place cash flow, timeless architectural character, and excellent long-term upside.

The property 17X70 consists of six updated residential apartments, each with its own unique charm. The first-floor duplex features a private backyard and a versatile studio space, ideally suited for a live/work lifestyle-perfect for an artist, photographer, designer, or private professional practice.

The second-floor apartment boasts a spacious private terrace overlooking the landscaped backyard, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat rarely found in city living.

Every apartment has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the building’s original character. Features include exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, loft-like layouts with additional sleeping lofts or storage areas, oversized windows, decorative fireplaces, beautiful original wood doors, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, hardwood floors, and intricate wood moldings and trim throughout the living spaces. Each residence is filled with natural light and enjoys either tranquil garden views or charming tree-lined street views.

The building currently generates approximately $197,800 in annual gross income from residential rents and additional income sources, providing stable cash flow with future upside as leases roll over. Based on the current income and operating expenses, the property offers an approximately 6% capitalization rate, presenting an attractive return compared to many traditional income-producing investments. Several leases extend into 2027, providing predictable income while offering future opportunities for rent growth.

The property can be delivered vacant or with income-producing leases in place, offering exceptional flexibility for investors, owner-users, or those seeking a live/work opportunity.
