A landmark 1898
limestone mansion.

Hamilton Heights Historic District · Harlem

Built in 1898 as a private home by architect Adolph Hoak, 298 Convent Avenue stands at the corner of West 141st Street in the heart of the Hamilton Heights Historic District — one of upper Manhattan’s most cherished blocks of late-nineteenth-century rowhouses and mansions.

The building was carefully gut-renovated in 2006, preserving the limestone facade, grand stoop, original hardwood, and architectural details while modernizing every system inside. Today it is ten residential apartments across four floors plus a cellar — owner-managed, with heat, hot water, and internet included in every unit.

The building was named one of New York’s 50 best blocks by Time Out NY. Apartments here rarely turn over.
