About This Home

As of May 2026

Go back in time at 159 East 107th Street, a classic New York City brownstone steeped in charm and character. Located on a quiet, quintessential
East Harlem block, this five-unit property captures the enduring beauty of vintage Manhattan living.

Each full-floor residence embraces the elegance of a bygone era, with gracious proportions, high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and original hardwood floors that speak to the building's rich architectural heritage. Sunlight pours in through large north- and south-facing windows, filling the spacious living and dining areas with warmth and light. Windowed kitchens and thoughtful layouts lend each apartment a sense of comfort and timelessness.

Imagine a street where neighbors still chat from their stoops and familiar faces pass by each morning - 159 East 107th evokes that sense of community and
nostalgia that's becoming increasingly rare in today's city.

With five residential units plus a basement totaling approximately 5,100 square feet, this well-maintained building offers a strong investment opportunity. All apartments are currently leased at fair market rents, providing immediate income in an area with growing long-term potential. 4 of the apartments (not all of the apartments) are rented at $2,500. EXTREMELY LOW TAXES!

Convenient to the 6 train, Lexington and 3rd Avenue bus lines, and just blocks from beloved neighborhood shops, grocers, and classic eateries, this East
Harlem gem is the kind of property that rarely comes along - rich in history, heart, and opportunity.
