24 W 126TH Street, New York City, NY 10027

A three-family brownstone that feels easy to live in and smart to own.

Set up as an owner’s triplex with two full-floor rentals on top, the layout gives you flexibility from day one. The triplex can be delivered vacant, which makes it work for an end user, or even friends buying together if one wants a floor-through.

The parlor level is where you will spend most of your time. It’s bright, open, and updated – at 50 feet deep, there is plenty of space to live and dine. Hardwood floors add contrast, and the renovated kitchen and bath are clean and functional with a breakfast bar. With north and south exposures, the light moves through the space all day.

On the garden level, you have two large bedrooms, a spa-like full bath, and a windowed powder room. There is direct access to the backyard, which has been recently updated with pavers.

The lower level adds real flexibility and feels like an artist loft with wood beamed ceilings. A custom cut-out brings in light and connects the space, so it doesn’t feel like a typical basement. It works as a den, office, gym, or all three depending on how you want to use it.

The two rental units above are both floor-through two-bedrooms with windowed baths, decorative fireplaces, and updated kitchens. At 50 feet deep, they feel private and well laid out. Each unit has its own washer and dryer, split AC, and separate temperature control, which makes them easier to rent and manage. Strong rent roll in place.

The block sits just off Malcolm X Boulevard, close to Red Rooster, Sylvia’s Restaurant, and Vinateria, along with a mix of new retail that continues to change the feel of the area. The planned Second Avenue Subway Q line extension will only add to the accessibility over time.

This is the kind of property that gives you options. Live in it comfortably, offset your costs, and still have something that makes sense long term.
