DWELL: 730 ST. NICHOLAS AVENUE TOWNHOUSE

Harlem Bespoke: The corner townhouse at 730 St. Nicholas Avenue at 147th Street sold back in 2017 for a notable $4.3 million, has been on the market since September 2018 for the asking of $5.25 million and had a slight price reduction set at $5.1 million in the past year.  Some might recognize the landmark location since the organization that purchased the grand address last year had a failed attempt to open a methadone clinic and thus everything is up for sale again.  As previously mentioned, this large historic 2-family home also has a garage included and pretty much all of the original details intact which make things quite ideal for residential purposes once polished up.  Express trains are also just across the street which makes this location one of best on Sugar Hill.   More photos and details can be found on the broker site: LINK
