Property details
About 159 W 136th St
159 W 136th Street presents an exceptional development opportunity in the heart of vibrant Central Harlem. This vacant four-story townhouse with basement spans approximately 3,042 square feet (13' x 55' on a 100' lot) and is primed for a full gut renovation. With its original 1910 brick façade still intact, this is a rare chance to restore a classic New York brownstone to its former glory—while reimagining the interiors to suit modern luxury living. Ideal as a high-income producing triplex over duplex, the building's layout and existing infrastructure make this a strategic play for experienced investors and developers. All major mechanicals and systems will need updating, but for those with vision and the resources to bring it to life, the upside is substantial. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block just moments from St. Nicholas Park, the 2/3 and B/C trains, and Harlem’s thriving restaurant and cultural scene, the property offers unbeatable convenience and walkability. Enjoy proximity to Whole Foods, Harlem Hospital, City College, and an ever-expanding roster of local cafés, art spaces, and amenities. Bring your architect, your contractor, and your imagination.
