The townhouse at 265 West 113th Street (between FDB/8th and ACP/7th) sold back in June for $963,538 in a possible behind doors deal. We hadn't seen any ads for the 18 foot wide, 3-family, 3,600 square foot, red brick building (at left) but it seemed like the previous owner was in the process of renovations since the parlour floor was still boarded up until recently. The street location to lower FDB and the B,C train stop at 110th Street and Central Park probably made this one attractive to the new owners.
Here's hoping for a speedy renovation -- that townhouse is a real eyesore particularly since it has such a handsome partner in its next-door neighbor. I took a group of PS 241 students (who study across the street) on a walking tour of Harlem last spring, and this building topped the list of things they would "delete" from their immediate neighborhood. (Also on the list: the Harlem Success Academy franchise that has swallowed up a great deal of their school's square footage, including recreation and arts spaces. But that's grist for another topic.)
