Description

7 East 124th Street presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a 20-foot-wide, park-front Italianate townhouse in one of Harlem's most iconic settings. Directly across from Mount Morris Park and just off Fifth Avenue, this 1905 brownstone now comes with a newly issued April 2025 Certificate of No Harassment (CONH), clearing the path for a full-scale 21st-century restoration.

South-facing sunlight pours through the home's grand facade, illuminating interiors rich with preserved architectural detail. The parlor level offers 11'4" ceilings and grandly scaled living and dining rooms, rich with original detail - ornate plasterwork, carved window surrounds, wood shutters, marble mantels, and three remarkable pier and over-mirrors designed to amplify light and volume. The scale and architectural integrity remain intact, providing an exceptional foundation for renovation.

The garden level extends nearly 42 feet to the rear, offering rare depth and meaningful outdoor potential. Currently configured with multiple rooms and a sunroom opening to the garden, this floor invites thoughtful redesign. Above, the third and fourth levels retain their classic front-and-rear bedroom layouts, original mantels, and adjoining dressing rooms or ancillary windowed spaces that lend themselves to offices, nurseries, or expanded suites.

With over 6,000 square feet of potential usable floor area and a current multiple dwelling designation, the property offers significant scale and development opportunity. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own zoning analysis to explore expansion or reconfiguration possibilities. The building is being sold as-is, in estate condition, and can be delivered vacant. The parlor and upper floors are not currently in use and require comprehensive renovation.

For the discerning purchaser with vision, 7 East 124th Street is a chance to create a landmark-quality, sun-filled townhouse overlooking one of Manhattan's most treasured parks. Bring your architect and restore this exceptional Harlem brownstone to its next chapter.
