The attractive 7-story building at 10 Mount Morris Park West on the southwest corner at 121st Street has been converted to 8 residential condominium apartments.

According Beyhan Karahan, the architect for the conversion, the brown-brick building was erected in the 1920s as a sanitarium and was converted in the 1960s to a drug rehabilitation center by the state.

The building has an attractive stone base and a narrow frontage on Mount Morris Park West facing Marcus Garvey Park.

Kiska Development is the developer.

Apartments range from 1,000 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet and each unit has multiple exposures and Brazilian mahogany floors.

The building has two penthouse apartments with private outdoor space.

A three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath apartment is priced at about $1,425,000 with monthly carrying costs of $610 and monthly taxes of $165, according to Vie Wilson of the Corcoran Group.

Apartments have private elevator access. Kitchens have cherry-veneer-and-smoked-glass cabinetry, stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms have free-standing showers, large soaking tubs, Toto toilets, double granite vanities with "luminous tempered glass bowl basins," and two-foot-square Italian ceramic tile floors and walls accented with glass mosaic tiles.

The lobby has abstract motifs with tempered glass paneling and a mosaic and limestone floor.
