DWELL: RECORD TOWNHOUSE SALE ON LENOX

Harlem Bespoke:  The 20-foot-wide townhouse at Number 208 Lenox Avenue sold back in December for $4.59 million and is currently the record to beat on the boulevard. As previously mentioned, everything is brand new in the landmark building within the Mount Morris Park Historic District and the substantial home had been divided into a three family layout.  This location is short walk to the express subway station and also the new Whole Foods that has just opened so a record sale might indeed come about.  More details on Streeteasy: LINK

SHOP: A STOREFRONT ON SUGAR HILL

Harlem Bespoke:  One of the more interesting storefronts to be available uptown is at the corner of 146th on St. Nicholas Avenue. The landmark building now called The Barnard was recently restored and converted into condos but a small commercial space still remains on street level.  This circular layout is definitely one of the more unique space in Harlem and the location on Sugar Hill is just a half block away form the express train entrance.  More on the Barnard in our past post: LINK
