As we’ve mentioned before, we think the Harlem market has a lot in common with parts of Brownstone Brooklyn in terms of price, housing stock and buyer profile. So we thought today we’d take a small detour and look at what $2 million gets you north of Central Park. Corcoran has a beautiful house for sale on Striver’s Row, historically home to some of the most prominent members of Harlem’s elite. This house is one of several designed by James Brown Lord in 1891. This two-family brick has retained its historic charm, with oak paneling galore. In addition, there’s a two-car garage accessible through a rear alley. The price? $1,950,000, or a little more than $500 a square foot. If you’re interested in taking a look, there’s an open house on Sunday from 2-4 pm.
