Overview of 409 Edgecombe Avenue

The landmarked and historic 409 Edgecombe Avenue is one of the most prestigious buildings in Sugar Hill. Overlooking Jackie Robinson Park, the building was once home to some of Harlem's most elite African American luminaries in the fields of law, civil rights, academia, arts and entertainment, including Justice Thurgood Marshall,  W.E.B. Dubois, Aaron Douglas, Roy Wilkins, and Elizabeth Catlett.

This 13-story building has a part-time overnight lobby attendant, resident superintendent, service elevator, and common laundry room. There are a new intercom system and a gym in the works. The building is pet-friendly with a 30-pound weight limit for dogs.

The building is convenient to the C train (2 blocks away at 155th Street), the A, B, C, D express stop entrance between 147th - 148th Streets (along with a large Foodtown market), and the #1 at 157th Street and Broadway. Jackie Robinson Park and Highbridge Parks are at your doorstep along with the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Sugar Hill Museum, Audubon Mural Project and the Morris Jumel Mansion, a historic site that served as General Washington's headquarters during the fall of 1776, and where Lin-Manuel Miranda spent time writing the musical "Hamilton". Alexander Hamilton's home, The Grange, lies just to the South at 141st Street.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "grand" prewar gem boasts "beautiful layouts" with "impressively high ceilings" and "spacious rooms," while maintaining its "original architectural details." Residents praise the "quick-responding" super and "more than sufficient" utilities, though some note the building's exterior "needs refreshing." The "quiet" atmosphere and "great" community make this an "awesome place to live," despite some cosmetic wear in common areas.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
