Property Description for 128 West 121st Street

All open houses are BY APPOINTMENT only

A rare opportunity to create a nearly 7,000-square-foot single-family townhouse in the heart of Harlem, with approved plans and landmark approval already in place.

Designed by Garnett.DePasquale, the proposed residence reimagines 128 West 121st Street as a sophisticated single-family home with generous entertaining spaces, multiple bedroom suites, an elevator, substantial private outdoor space, and a rooftop terrace.

The parlor level is planned with a large front living room and an expansive kitchen and dining area toward the rear. Upstairs, the layout includes a spacious family room, multiple bedroom suites, walk-in closets, and a full primary level with a large bedroom, dressing areas, oversized bath, lounge, and private terrace. The plans also incorporate elevator access throughout the home, including to the roof.

The garden level provides additional living flexibility with a bedroom, bath, study, lounge, and direct access to the rear yard, while the cellar is designed for recreation, laundry, storage, and mechanical use.

The architectural renderings by Garnett.DePasquale illustrate a warm, contemporary vision defined by arched openings, custom millwork, glass detailing, natural materials, and thoughtfully composed living spaces.

At an asking price of $2,950,000, approximately 50% of the projected after-repair value, the property offers a compelling opportunity to create a substantial amount of equity through renovation while avoiding much of the time and uncertainty typically associated with the design and landmark approval process.

Located on a tree-lined West 121st Street block near Marcus Garvey Park, Harlem's Restaurant Row, Whole Foods, cultural institutions, and neighborhood dining, 128 West 121st Street offers exceptional scale, approved design, and significant long-term value potential in one of Central Harlem's most desirable townhouse locations.

Quick Profile

Central Harlem is an enclave filled with cultural landmarks, gilded age brownstones and a vibe you don’t find in many neighborhoods these days. Mount Morris Park Historic District, located in west central Harlem, is a vibrant neighborhood with tree-lined streets and gorgeous brownstones. The large 16-block section is the byproduct of Harlem’s first building boom and should not be confused with Mount Morris Park, which is a 20-acre park that was renamed Marcus Garvey Memorial Park in 1977. What can we say? Sometimes gentrification complicates things.

The boundaries of Mount Morris Park Historic District are West 118th and West 124th Streets, Fifth Avenue, and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. The neighborhood was designated a historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1971. Architectural buffs will be enamoured by the neighborhood's handsome architecture that includes late 19th- and early 20th century row houses designed in the Romanesque Revival, neo-Grec and Queen Anne style.
