336 Convent Avenue

Striking 1892 Queen Anne brownstone with distinctive corner tower and medieval façade at a rare Hamilton Heights corner location. Seven free-market apartments near City College and Columbia University offer solid investment potential in this landmarked, under-appreciated neighborhood.

Overview of 336 Convent Avenue

336 Convent Avenue is a striking four-story multi-unit building located at the corner of Convent Avenue and W 144th Street in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Built in 1892 by architect Robert Dry for developer William De Forest Jr., this Queen Anne style brownstone features a distinctive medieval façade highlighted by a corner tower with a faceted conical cap. The building measures 25' x 60' and sits on a 25' x 95' lot, making it a unique architectural gem in a historically rich area that once served as the country estates for Manhattan's elite.

The property currently houses seven free-market apartments, ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, each with its own character. This diversity in layout offers potential residents a variety of living options. The building presents a promising investment opportunity, particularly given its location just north of the historic City College campus and only two train stops away from Columbia University. The current cap rate stands at 3%, indicating a solid return potential for investors.

Hamilton Heights is often regarded as an under-appreciated neighborhood, with its landmarked blocks providing a glimpse into a bygone era. The picturesque tree-lined streets enhance the charm of the area, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a blend of historical ambiance and modern convenience. As corner buildings in this locale are rare, 336 Convent Avenue represents a unique opportunity for both homeowners and investors alike.
