☞ DWELL: 240 Lenox Avenue in Contract

After arriving on the market back in March for $3.2 million, the 23 foot wide corner house with a mansard roof at 122nd and Lenox just went into contract a couple of days ago. The 2-family, fixer-upper with  5,755 foot of space eventually had a price cut back at the end of April and is currently set at $2.5 million. This landmark Mount Morris Park building at 240 Lenox reportedly has 9 bedrooms, 5 baths, 7 fireplaces and some of the original details in place.  Interior photos Bath and kitchen photos have not been published so one could probably assume that this townhouse will probably need a lot work done to get it back into shape. UPDATE: Here are the interior images mentioned by a reader: LINK

  2. Thanks Christopher. This is going to be drop dead gorgeous when its restored (and I hope they are planning on restoring and not gutting). This strip of Lenox is looking up day by day and rightly so. It’s a lovely boulevard.

  3. Completely agree with you Sanou's Mum. I'm starting to see some real beauty in the area between 116 and 127th!

  4. The building should be zoned for commercial use, I hope they make the basement available for a commercial tenant, they could provide services to make it easy for a restaurant to setup shop in this prime location, they should be able to get a good tenant and income stream.

  5. would be nice but I’m not sure where they could run a vent stack, although I’m sure something could be worked out, and having any manner of restaurant raises insurance rates something wicked.
