About this property

Welcome to 221 West 138th Street, a 20 foot wide Georgian-style two-family townhouse ideally located in the heart of St. Nicholas Historic District, also known as Strivers’ Row. Very rarely do corner, triple-exposure homes come to market on the renowned block, frequently referred to as the best block in Harlem.

This historic townhouse is one of eight corner homes on Strivers Row and one of the few on a 32’ wide lot with a private garage and parking for two additional cars. It is a true home of Harlem heritage as it was once owned by Will Marion Cook. Currently positioned as a two family home, it presents the perfect opportunity to live with income, have an in-law suite, or renovate into a single family and utilize all of the square footage.

The property, a rarity for Harlem, has been fully renovated top to bottom within the past several years with new electric, plumbing, central air, bathrooms, kitchens and facade. Save yourself the headache of renovating and move right into this turnkey home.

This property is ideally located just a short walk from the 2/3 subway line on Lenox Avenue and the C and B subway lines on Saint Nicholas Avenue, offering you the opportunity to access Midtown Manhattan effortlessly. In the heart of central Harlem, Strivers’ Row remains as one of the most desirable places to purchase uptown. This property benefits from its proximity to major academic institutions, such as Columbia University and its Manhattanville Expansion Project and City College of New York.
