Historic Harlem Townhouse with Endless Possibilities - 24 to 48 hours notice kindly requested for showings. 

Discover a rare opportunity to own a stately 5-story, 20-foot-wide townhouse nestled in the heart of Harlem's most desirable enclave, the Mount Morris Park Historic District.  Built in 1901, this well-maintained, architecturally rich home spans over 5800 square feet (plus basement) and is currently configured as a 7-unit rental building. The flexible layout includes three 1-bedroom/1-bath units, two 2-bedroom/1-bath units, and two studios-offering both immediate income and long-term potential. All leases expire between September 2025 and May 2026, providing a path for transformation, whether you envision a grand single-family residence or a rental investment.

Step inside to find an abundance of original details-ornate woodwork, fireplaces, and period craftsmanship-all in remarkably good condition and awaiting thoughtful restoration. The top floor and roof deliver sweeping views of downtown Manhattan, making this home as visually inspiring as it is functional.

Recent updates include:       
 - New roof and skylight resurfacing (within the last 4-6 years)
 - New boiler (2020)
 - Updated windows (within the last 15 years)

Beyond the home itself, the location is second to none. Just blocks from the 2/3 and A/B/C/D trains, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, CVS, and more, you're perfectly positioned for convenience. The surrounding neighborhood offers an extraordinary cultural landscape: from jazz and classical theatre in Marcus Garvey Park to performances at the Apollo and National Black Theatre. Art lovers will revel in proximity to the Studio Museum, independent art galleries and the Schomburg Center. Dining and shopping options abound on nearby Malcolm X Blvd.  Enjoy brunch at Settepani, cocktails at Archer & Goat, or browse local treasures at boutiques like NiLU and Grandma's Place.

Whether you're looking to create your dream home or capitalize on a prime investment in one of NYC's most storied neighborhoods, 126 West 121st Street is your gateway to something exceptional.
