☞ DWELL: Record Contract out at 2036 Fifth

Number 2036 Fifth Avenue has been on the market for the past year at one of the highest prices listed in Harlem and now has a contract out.  This classic, 20-foot wide brownstone located just above 125th Street has a full gut renovation that has kept a large amount of original detail and is asking for $3.99 million.  Since the recession hit, the record sale for a townhouse was in South Harlem for the closing price of  $3 million at a much smaller building on West 121st Street by Morningside Park.  With 125th Street picking up speed in development and the Lenox Avenue commercial corridor just one block over, this picturesque section of 125th Street might be ready to put Central Harlem on the map again as far as brownstones are concerned.  More details can be found on Streeteasy: LINK
