The 4-family townhouse shell with a mansard roof at 124 West 123rd Street apparently sold again at the beginning of March. Based on public records, a law office had sold the vacant building west of Lenox Avenue back in January for the sum of $309K to an equities firm on Long Island. Based on two questionable sales back in the same month of 2007, this property (house at far left) might have had to go through some legal channels to get the correct line of ownership in order. The most current sale of the 17 foot wide house from the equities company at $535.73k looks to be the real deal and maybe this rare wood frame townhouse just past the Mount Morris Park Historic District will finally get the renovations it deserves.
Would make an adorable one family for the right and lucky people.
ReplyDeleteI like these mansard roof upper levels, they add a lot of character. I expect they where originally designed as servants quarters as they have a very low ceiling.
ReplyDeleteI know the owners. They're already working with their architect to convert it to 2 family. They have to apply for their Certificate of No Harassment, so it will probably be a year before renovations start - so they should be in by approximately Christmas 2012.
ReplyDeleteOwners here: I hope we do give it the renovation it deserves. We can't wait to start and move to this great block.
