Property Description for 334 Convent Ave

ALL CASH PURCHASERS ONLY! Seize this rare opportunity to acquire a 25 foot wide townhouse on arguably the most beautiful block in Hamilton Heights and all of Manhattan. Here is your chance to restore 334 Convent Avenue back to its former glory as the 5 story, 5,000+ square foot single family residence it once was. Eastern and western exposure bathes the interior and outdoor spaces in natural light throughout the day. Sun-worshipers and gardeners will appreciate having their very own private garden and rooftop oases where they can bask in the block's tranquility. Many of the original details have been lovingly retained, such as the decorative fireplaces, wainscoting, door/window trim, built-in bench and mirror, and stained glass windows.

Convent Avenue between 143rd and 144th Street is a gorgeous, tree-lined block surrounded by other architecturally distinctive townhouses. 334 Convent Avenue benefits from a "No Parking" zone, which keeps the western side of Convent Avenue free from added noise and traffic. You might recognize this block from Wes Anderson's movie, "The Royal Tenebaums", which was filmed right across the street. In addition, this part of Convent Avenue is consistently featured in television shows and is discussed in Charles Lockwood's well-known book, "Bricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House". The Hamilton Grange National Memorial is located within a few blocks and express trains on 145th street shuttle you to and from Midtown Manhattan in only 10 minutes.

Once renovated and converted back to a single family dwelling, 334 Convent Avenue has the potential to break the $5M record price set in Harlem earlier this year. It's also perfect as a primary residence, pied-a-terre, or profitable investment property. You owe it to yourself to view this once in a lifetime offering before it's gone. 334 Convent Avenue is being sold "as is" and can be delivered vacant.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
