The Metropolitan Museum's Victorian curator's single family home at 401 Manhattan Avenue (between 116th and 117th) was mysteriously pulled off the market in April but now the sales price has finally been revealed since it apparently went into contract in the end of May. On the market since last November, it took about 8 months to move and one might point out that the failed contract slowed things down a little. So the 18 x 40 foot building (on a shallow 50 foot lot) had a tight 2,160 square foot in total but a curator's touch might have been the thing that pushed the sale through. The original asking price was $1.59 million and the final selling price has now been revealed at $1.55 million. The house is one avenue away from Morningside Park, the shops at lower FDB/8th Avenue and the B,C trains. Read our past posts on 401 Manhattan Avenue:

Over 700 psf. That's awesome. Harlem is alive and well in this great recession. Ulysses, thank you for keeping us informed at all levels.
ReplyDeleteThis house looks like a cat palace.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm amazed at the price. Beautiful renovations of larger houses have recently gone for as little as $550 a sq ft. This little one must be special !
ReplyDeleteOk. Good. I feel somewhat justified now after being berated in another post for daring to suggest that Harlem prices per sq. ft. could be in the 700s. Great sign for the future.
ReplyDeleteI like the townhouse, it is a bit small though, but I don't like the block, too much "traffic."
