Built in 1887, this turn-of-the-century, mixed-use townhouse is situated along one of Upper Manhattan’s most iconic corridors and is available for sale. 188 Lenox Avenue is a 4-unit, mixed-use building located between 119th and 120th Streets. This property features ground-floor commercial space—currently being used as a hardware store—and three vacant residential units above.

Grand Totals * Total Monthly Income (4 Residential + 1 Commercial):$11,408 + $10,500= $21,908 / Month * Total Annual Gross Income:$21,908 x 12 = $262,896 / Year At a fair aqcuisition price, with conservative expense estimates, this property can bring in a double-digit cap rate (11.5% to 13.1%) which is an extraordinary return.
