Property Description

Welcome to 309 West 138th Street - a historic five-unit Neoclassical townhouse built in 1888, offering a rare blend of heritage, character, and opportunity on one of Harlem's most beautiful tree-lined streets, directly adjacent to the iconic Strivers Row historic district . Rich in history and architectural splendor, this distinguished residence boasts Renaissance craftsmanship: hand-carved wood stairways, original doors, ornate moldings, and stunning original fireplaces throughout.

A rare chance to own a masterpiece of Harlem's golden age - reimagine your future here. Shown by appointment.
