Harlem has very few wood frame houses remaining and one is currently up for sale at 200 Edegcombe Avenue for $850K (top photo). The 2-family home has been gutted and the interior frames have been set up but plumbing, electrical, and new walls will have to be added along with the new interior details. Part of the work is already done and the location is just below the 145th Street commercial hub by Jackie Robinson Park. Express subways are less than a five minute walk away. Check out what the interior looks like on Streeteasy:

We are amazed when we run into restored wood frame houses like the Brooklyn one seen in the lower photo but a properly renovated one is a rare site uptown. A contrast wood siding color along with white trims (cornice, window frames, door details) add to curb appeal and all will have to be replaced for this home to be brought back to its original glory. Property needing work and going for under a million have been selling recently so maybe this one will have a chance at a new life going forward in the near future.
