OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, July 25th, 12:00-2:00 PM. The 3-family townhouse at 116 West 124th Street, just west of Lenox, recently landed on the market with a $1.695 asking price (center brownstone at top photo). The fully renovated 18.75 foot wide home has an owner's 2 bedroom duplex and 2 single bedroom rental floors. Finishes in the kitchen and bath are on the moderate end but newish. The house faces the massive open lot that will hopefully be the home to the new Harlem Hyatt and is close to all the shops on 125th along with the boutiques in the Mount Morris Park Historic District. The 2,3 express train is only a half block away but this street block itself is still on the shabby side (the building to the left looks like it has been abandoned). Facade photo by Ulysses

What a nice place.. Simply done..Clean and bright !! I would love to see it !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Ah...to have a garden.
ReplyDeletefunny thing about personal taste. One person’s Clean and Bright is my ‘recessed ceiling lighting and exposed brick—that’s the best they could do’?
ReplyDeleteBut it’s the thought of years of construction and then facing the ass end, oops, service end of a big hotel that would send me scurrying.
True that, 124th and Lenox is one funky corner. Even I, who am rapt with admiration at the fact that junkies have some weird inner gyroscope that keeps them from falling over even when they are just at the tipping point, find 124 and Lenox less than salubrious.
ReplyDeleteI think 1.6 something is a bit fanciful.
Anonymous is back eh. Name of rehab center and meth clinic please. Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Chris. Oh no, its there. Really. Check it out for yourself.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you ever have anything positive to say? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteSanou's Mum, I know it is there. Just wondered what it was called. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes chris, here is something positive. I have had delicious mac and cheese at native. There is something positive.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, on my way home I walked across 117th and there was a crazy junky yelling and screaming in the middle of the street about things that made me uneasy to walk down the sidewalk by myself at 11 o'clock at night.
@Chris. I think it has an awning or a sign. I}ll try and remember to check it out next time I go by and let you know.
ReplyDeleteCheers eric. They do have great mac and cheese don't they?! Don't be such a wuss though mate.
ReplyDeleteSanou's mum..ta v. much.
Sanou's mom - isnt it just amazing to see? how they bend at the waist and just...hover? I dont know how they do it. I guess i dont really even want to know. But it's a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteThat meth clinic attracts the strangest collection of people. It's as if you've been transported to rural West Virginia.
@H Bomb. JUST when you think they've GOT to topple up they come and the process begins all over. Some weird gyroscope
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, that's some toothless bunch there.
That doesn't sound like Meth. That sounds like heroine, but more likely, simply alcohol. I've never seen what you're talking about, but Meth is speed, so people don't bob-and-weave on it.
ReplyDeleteMethadone.
ReplyDeleteI said it looked clean and bright. I am here on the other side of the Atlantic ! I come to Harlem often looking to buy something. I have only seen a few brownstones and often they are either stunning inside or bare. I have not seen many in the middle it is just nice to see that from time to time.
ReplyDelete108-112 is a state-owned drug (?) or mental illness treatment place, a residence. The owner is literally "the people of the state of New York." That means us.
ReplyDeleteDo not mean to be a "downer" but I heard there is a serious bedbug issue in that building and the one next door ...
With a residence, it is difficult to move the people because it is considered a violation of their rights as disabled people. This is true whether it is drug/alcohol or mental illness.
This brownstone is a steal.
ReplyDeleteA steal @ 1.69 with an abandoned building next to it, a drug facility on the block and years of construction across the street?
ReplyDeleteWanna buy mine? 2.9. Only for you.
Agree with Sanou's mum, and in addition:
ReplyDeleteAt 123-125 West 124th is a low-income and homeless aids treatment facility and part-time residence;
at 119 - 121 west 124th is an "addiction research and treatment" facility - presumably, the meth clinic.
Wow. 124th Street--it's all happening there.
ReplyDeleteTourist destination just waiting to happen. With a fine dusting of bedbug detritus.
Scratching at the very thought. Time for the Marcus Garvey pool! Last one in's a rotten egg!
Sanou's Mum
ReplyDeleteYou are too much !
Guys/gals, I took a stroll down 124th today and not sure what all the fuss is about?! I saw Hiram Lodge (interesting building) and I think what must have been the center across the road. Seriously...did you all grow up in a bubble?! I worked on 33rd & 8th for three years and believe me, there is a lot worse down that way. Or, maybe, I just passed on a good day ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyways...agree with Sanou's Mum..get to the Marcus Garvey pool and cool off! That place is brilliant.
Maybe everyone took the weekend off.
ReplyDeleteNo bubble here. Many years on pre-gentrified lower east side, much time at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, where those from 33rdand 8th dine. But there is a loyal core of people on the nod at 124 and Lenox that I think dampers the high price on this house.
Pool wasn't even that crowded. Splash on!
Very nice place.... Clean and colorful......
