About this home
Apartment · Built 1905 · Historic
Exceptional development site currently framed as a 4-bedroom, 5-bath duplex with full walkout basement/cellar and three stories above grade — with major work already completed including framing, plumbing, electrical, and roofing. Property includes full approved plans and additional air rights, offering future opportunity to convert into an 8-unit boutique condominium building. Situated on a rare 15' x 100' lot in one of Washington Heights' fastest-growing corridors, just steps from Broadway, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia, subway lines, parks, schools, and a thriving retail district. Ideal for developers or investors seeking a high-upside, low-risk Manhattan opportunity where critical construction stages are already finished, minimizing delays and maximizing profitability. Perfect for a modern condo or luxury rental build in a rapidly improving neighborhood surrounded by new construction and redevelopment projects.
