Nestled in a prime Central Harlem location, near the legendary Striver's Row, 203 West 136th Street is a distinguished two-family townhouse dating to 1899. This property has amazing potential. Spanning nearly 3,400 square feet across four thoughtfully configured stories, the property strikes a rare balance between historic elegance and modern livability - equally compelling for owner-occupants seeking space and character, and investors looking for long-term value in one of Manhattan's most storied neighborhoods. The garden level has the potential to become a jaw dropping oasis with a little TLC. Perfect for entertaining. Originally arranged as a professional suite, it is currently configured as a living space for the owners and has direct access to a private backyard garden - an extraordinary amenity in the city. Treat this first level as an income opportunity or your own private recreation retreat. The first level also leads to a full basement for tons of storage. Move upstairs stairs to the main residence spanning the second, third and fourth floor, where you can structure the space as a 5 bedroom with living room or a 6 bedroom and utilize the garden level as your living space. The upstairs also features original exposed brick walls (currently painted white there is the opportunity to restore the red brick - the images showing red brick have been virtually renovated to show the potential), an in-unit washer/dryer, a balcony that leads you to the garden level and sky lights on the top floor.
