Nestled in the exclusive Sugar Hill neighborhood, this move-in-ready one-bedroom cooperative is offered by the Board “as is,” presenting an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Harlem’s storied Renaissance legacy.

Stunning Views and Timeless Elegance
Perched on the first floor of this distinguished pre-war building, this apartment boasts breathtaking east- and south-facing views of the Bronx skyline and the serene courtyard below. Bathed in excellent natural light through oversized windows, the home captures the sophistication and charm of Harlem’s golden era. Designed in 1917 by renowned architects Schwartz and Gross, 409 Edgecombe Avenue showcases classic Neo-Georgian architecture with its stone-faced base, brick upper stories, terra-cotta accents, and a grand marbled lobby—details reminiscent of Manhattan’s Upper East and Upper West Side enclaves. Enhance your imagination through the virtually staged pictures.

Rich History, Modern Comfort
Once home to Harlem’s African American elite during the Renaissance, this thirteen-story midrise cooperative on Coogan’s Bluff has housed luminaries like W.E.B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins, and Elizabeth Catlett. Today, it offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern livability. Step inside to find original hardwood parquet floors, skim-coated walls with preserved pre-war details, and abundant charm. The spacious bedroom accommodates a king-size bed ensemble and oversized armoire, while the living area offers plenty of room for a home office. The kitchen features oversized, plentiful cabinets, and the comfortable windowed bathroom includes an original soaking tub. Pet-friendly and complete with a spacious on-site laundry room, this home is as practical as it is elegant.

A Vibrant Lifestyle Awaits
Situated high above the Harlem River Valley, near Jackie Robinson Park and Macomb’s Dam Bridge, this location offers panoramic sunrise views and endless possibilities. Whether you’re craving a night in or an evening out, Sugar Hill delivers. Enjoy nearby restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, or unwind in the peaceful comfort of your historic home. Transportation is a breeze with access to the C subway line and M3, M4, M7, and BX7 buses, connecting you to the Bronx shopping center and Yankee Stadium.
