About this property

Bring Your Architect!

Alta Real Estate is pleased to announce our newest commercial exclusive in Washington Heights at 946 St Nicholas Avenue.

946 St Nicholas is an 18+’ wide single-family townhouse residing between 157th & 158th Street on St Nicholas Avenue in the historic Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. The building is one of 6 historic limestone-constructed residences on the block dating from the late 1800s. Although not presently landmarked, the elegance and beauty of the home and block is extraordinarily rare. The building consists of a garden level and 3 upper floors plus a full basement and cellar. There is a small courtyard in the rear of the building as well.

The building was formerly an 8 room SRO with a Class A apartment in the basement. The present owner has initiated paperwork with the city to convert the home to a 4 unit residential apartment house, with approved architectural plans and a work permit issued by the DOB.

In October 2023 an arguably horrible year for the market nation wide, Washington Heights home prices were up 37.3% compared to the year prior according to RedFin’s article: Washington Heights Housing Market: Home Prices & Trends.
