About this home

A rare opportunity to own a three-family rowhouse on a quiet, tree-lined Central Harlem block! 10 East 129th Street offers approximately 3,990 square feet above grade, three spacious floor-through residences, private outdoor space, and exceptional flexibility for an owner-user or investor. Built in 2010 and set on a 19.25-foot-wide by 99-foot-deep lot, the property is configured as a garden duplex with two additional full-floor three-bedroom residences above. Each apartment enjoys north and south exposures, excellent natural light, hardwood floors, generous closet space, and its own washer and dryer. The Garden Residence #1: A spacious two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath duplex. The main level features a bright living and dining area, an open pass-through kitchen with stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances, dishwasher, and breakfast bar, two bedrooms, a full bath, and direct access to a private, partially landscaped rear garden. Downstairs, the lower level provides substantial additional space for recreation, work, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Currently configured with a music studio and living area, this level also includes a half bath and washer/dryer. Residences #2 and #3 Two nearly identical three-bedroom, two-bath floor-through layouts. Each features a bright front living room with large windows overlooking the tree-lined street and an open pass-through kitchen with stone countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A third bedroom sits just off the living room and also lends itself naturally to use as a home office. Two additional bedrooms are positioned at the rear overlooking the garden, including a primary suite with an en-suite bath and its own private balcony. Generous closets, in-unit laundry, and deep soaking tub/showers complete each residence. With the garden apartment currently vacant and the two upper residences able to be delivered vacant, 10 East 129th Street offers tremendous flexibility. For an owner-user, the garden duplex provides the opportunity to enjoy townhouse-style living and private outdoor space while generating rental income from two full-floor three-bedroom residences above to help offset the building's carrying costs. Alternatively, the property can accommodate an extended household or serve as a fully income-producing investment. The location combines a peaceful residential setting with the convenience and energy of Central Harlem. The picturesque Harlem Rose Garden sits immediately next door, while nearby Marcus Garvey Park provides one of the neighborhood's signature green spaces. Just a few blocks away, the 125th Street corridor offers Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Target, the Apollo Theater, and a broad selection of shopping and dining, with neighborhood favorites including Red Rooster and Sylvia's close at hand. Transportation is excellent, with convenient access to the 2/3 and 4/5/6 subway lines as well as Metro-North at 125th Street. Adding to the property's long-term potential, the site is currently built to an FAR of approximately 1.92 versus a permitted residential FAR of 3.0. Available zoning data indicates approximately 2,052 square feet of additional buildable area, offering potential for future expansion. Any development or expansion is subject to zoning, architectural feasibility, required approvals, and the purchaser's own due diligence. Three residences, private outdoor space, nearly 4,000 square feet above grade, income-producing potential, and room for future possibilities-all in the heart of Harlem. Note: Units 2&3 are currently rented at $3,900 each, but can be delivered vacant with a 60 day notice. Apartments 2 and 3 have identical finishes and layouts.
