Overview of 1947 Seventh Avenue

1947 Seventh Avenue is a historic prewar co-op building located in the vibrant neighborhood of Central Harlem. This well-maintained structure, dating back to the 1920s, features a charming mix of original architectural details and modern amenities. Residents enjoy spacious apartments with high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, and classic woodwork, all contributing to the building's unique character. The cooperative is conveniently situated just seven blocks from Central Park and within walking distance to Morningside and Marcus Garvey Parks, as well as major subway lines and bus routes, making it an ideal location for urban living.

Common apartment features include expansive layouts, with many units offering three bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. The kitchens are often equipped with high-end appliances, such as Viking stoves and Sub-Zero refrigerators, complemented by elegant marble countertops. Many apartments also boast original hardwood floors, inlaid parquet flooring, and exposed brick walls, enhancing the historic charm while providing modern comforts like in-unit laundry facilities. The building's amenities include a part-time super/porter and intercom system, ensuring convenience for residents.

Notable for its rich history, 1947 Seventh Avenue has been home to various celebrities, adding to its allure. The cooperative operates under a market-rate policy with no income restrictions, making it accessible to a diverse range of buyers. However, potential residents should be aware of a 2% flip tax on gross sales and an ongoing assessment fee. This building represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Harlem's storied past while enjoying the benefits of contemporary living.

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.
