1899 East Harlem Brownstone — A Piece of Old Italian Harlem Waiting to Be Reborn

Step into the history and character of Pleasant Avenue in East Harlem, one of the neighborhood’s most storied enclaves and a celebrated part of Old Italian Harlem. Dating to 1899, this distinctive brownstone offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan’s architectural and cultural past.

Rich in history, personality, and old-world character, the home invites a new owner to imagine what it can become. A buyer with vision can restore its period charm, preserve its connection to the neighborhood’s Italian Harlem heritage, and create a residence that reflects both its remarkable past and its future.

For the investor, the possibilities are equally compelling. The property offers the potential to configure the home as UP to four units, subject to applicable zoning, building codes, and approvals.

For an owner-occupant, the possibilities are virtually endless — from creating a grand single-family residence to designing a multi-generational home or incorporating income-producing space.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
