This four-story building at 127th Street was renovated in 2006 into 'Rhapsody on Fifth,' expanding it to six stories with 22 condominium units. The project, designed by BKSK Architects, features a restored red-brick exterior with limestone details, a new cornice, and modern amenities including a fitness center and doorman service. Currently, 2 apartments are for sale.
Rhapsody on Fifth is a 22 unit Harlem condominium created from a 1920 building that previously housed the Finnish Community Center and the Gospel Temple Church. AFC Realty Capital converted the property in 2005, adding two stories to bring it to six.
BKSK Architects preserved the red brick exterior, rusticated limestone base, stone quoins, arched windows, and decorative balconies while restoring the cornice. The conversion also introduced a large interior courtyard and a glass accented entrance leading to a 17 foot lobby.
Apartments range from roughly 520 to 2,000 square feet, with high ceilings, oversized windows, open living areas, and in-unit laundry recurring in the residences. A distinctive duplex layout places the principal living space beneath 12 foot ceilings on the upper level and a recreation area with a separate entrance below. Corner exposures, bamboo floors, central air conditioning, and soaking tubs also recur.
The building has a full time doorman, video intercom, fitness center, shared terrace with grilling space, package room, bicycle room, storage, and communal laundry. It occupies the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 127th Street, three blocks north of Marcus Garvey Park. The 2 and 3 trains stop at 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, while Metro North serves Harlem 125th Street at Park Avenue.
