DWELL: A VICTORIAN TOWNHOUSE ON MANHATTAN AVE

One of our favorite homes that sold 5 years ago is back on the market for $2.795 million.  Number 401 Manhattan Avenue by 117th Street is single-family home that was restored by the Victorian curator of the MET before a new owner purchased the townhouse back in 2010.  With two working fireplaces, original details and historically accurate colors, this jewel box of a home really stands out amongst the bland white walled listing out there.  The location of the 18-foot-wide house is also right by the FDB commercial corridor, Morningside Park and the 116th Street subway stop.  With all that said, the basement and garden areas are still bit lackluster but should be a pretty easy fix.  More on the broker site: LINK
