Even better, the proper…

IMPROVED PRICE | 14 West 121st Street | Asking $2,899,999
This 20-foot-wide Mount Morris Park townhouse offers more than 5,000 sq ft of space, original architectural character, and built-in rental income.
Currently configured as an owner’s quadruplex with a private garden, finished basement, and laundry, the home also includes a separate two-bedroom top-floor apartment generating more than $45,000 per year.
Inside, you’ll find soaring ceiling heights—including approximately 13 feet on the parlor floor—oversized windows, preserved period details, and a flexible four-bedroom layout with the potential to create a full-floor primary suite.
Originally built in 1888–1889 by Cleverdon & Putzel, 14 West 121st Street is a great example of a classic Harlem brownstone that works well as a two-family today, while also offering the flexibility to convert into a grand single-family home over time.

NEW LISTING | 80 West 119th Street | Asking $2,450,000
One of the biggest opportunities here is the ability to easily reposition this legal 3-family into a 2-family Harlem townhouse, with conversion plans already available.
That change could significantly improve the home’s end-user appeal and create a meaningful increase in equity, especially given how strongly renovated 2-family townhouses can trade in this part of Harlem.
The property is delivered vacant and already has major plumbing and electrical updates completed. It offers four floors of living space plus a finished basement, a renovated garden level, a massive south-facing backyard, 10-foot parlor ceilings, exposed brick, and original ceiling timbers.
Located in the Mt. Morris Park Historic District just below Marcus Garvey Park, this is a compelling opportunity for a buyer who wants to create a larger owner’s residence while still keeping a separate income-producing unit.

904 Gates Avenue is a strong example of what makes Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouses so attractive: more space, income potential, private outdoor space, parking, and room to create additional value over time.

NEW LISTING | 128 West 121st Street | Asking $2,950,000
A rare opportunity to create a nearly 7,000 sq ft single-family Harlem townhouse at approximately 50% of projected after-repair value.
The property will be delivered with approved single-family plans and landmark approval already in place, with the proposed residence designed by Garnett.DePasquale.
The Garnett.DePasquale design envisions a true luxury townhouse with an elevator, expansive entertaining spaces, multiple bedroom suites, a full primary level, private outdoor space, and a rooftop terrace.
At $2.95M, this is a compelling opportunity for a buyer to create substantial equity through renovation while avoiding much of the time and uncertainty that comes with designing a home and pursuing landmark approvals from scratch.
Located on a beautiful West 121st Street block in Central Harlem, 128 West 121st Street offers exceptional scale, a fully developed architectural vision by Garnett.DePasquale, and significant long-term upside.

I found a 4-unit Brooklyn property where the numbers really stand out.
All four apartments are 3-bedrooms. You can live in one, rent out the other three, and the projected rental income can cover the building’s monthly expenses — giving you the potential to live for free while building equity.
Even better, the property qualifies for a first-time homebuyer program offering 10% down, an interest rate below 6%, no PMI, and just a $500 origination fee instead of the typical 1%.
If you’ve been thinking about buying a brownstone or multifamily in Brooklyn or Manhattan, these are the types of opportunities I look for.
Reach out to me for the details.

One of my favorite—and most complex—properties to sell. After navigating several unique factors throughout the transaction, we successfully closed with a buyer who is excited to unlock the full potential of this exceptional home.
Designed in 1926 by Schwartz & Gross, this fully renovated three-family townhouse blends historic character with modern infrastructure. All major systems were replaced, providing long-term reliability while preserving the home’s architectural integrity.
The property features a spacious owner’s duplex with a full basement, plus two floor-through one-bedroom apartments above. Situated on two combined lots measuring approximately 41 × 100 feet, it offers two landscaped gardens, private parking for up to four cars, and roughly 12,000 square feet of unused air rights for potential future expansion.
Located in Hamilton Heights near the A, B, C, D, and 1 trains, with convenient access to Riverside State Park and the amenities along 125th Street.
A rare combination of scale, flexibility, and long-term upside in Upper Manhattan—and now officially sold.

What if owning a brownstone could cost less each month than renting?
This four-unit Brooklyn brownstone creates a strong owner-occupant opportunity. The layout includes three full floor-through 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartments and one 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, giving the buyer multiple options for how to live in the property while collecting rental income from the other units.
Based on the estimated rents in the area, the income from the additional apartments could significantly reduce the monthly cost of ownership. In this example, if the owner lives in one of the 3-bedroom units, the estimated out-of-pocket monthly expense could be about $1,162 — roughly $2,538 less than renting a comparable unit.
This is why the right multifamily brownstone can be more than just a home. It can also be a strategy.
