Welcome to 548 West 148th Street, a stately three-family brownstone located in the heart of Hamilton Heights—now one of Manhattan’s most desirable and dynamic neighborhoods. Ideally positioned between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway, this elegant residence blends early 20th-century architectural detail with thoughtful modern updates. Originally built in 1926 and fully renovated in 2007, the home retains its historic charm while offering the convenience of a legal three-family Certificate of Occupancy. The owner’s duplex occupies the top two floors and features two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and four working gas fireplaces. A gracious entryway with a pier mirror and original wood wainscoting sets the tone, while rich architectural details like mahogany columns, intricate moldings, and a showstopping living room fireplace with three inset mirrors elevate the home’s character. The primary bedroom boasts Brazilian rosewood herringbone floors and a striking black marble fireplace with Arts and Crafts tile. A skylit bathroom upstairs includes a soaking tub and glass-tiled shower, while the eat-in kitchen is both charming and practical, with a pressed copper ceiling, original tiled fireplace, and concealed washer/dryer. Below, two full-floor one-bedroom apartments provide excellent rental income potential. The parlor-level unit has its own balcony, while the garden-level apartment opens directly to a private outdoor space—perfect for tenants or guests. Lease terms for both free-market units are available upon request. Located just moments from the A and D express trains (only 12 minutes to Midtown), with additional access to the B, C, and 1 trains and multiple bus lines, the home offers easy citywide connectivity. Enjoy nearby amenities including the Hudson River Greenway, Riverside and St. Nicholas Parks, Columbia University, and City College—all within a vibrant and culturally rich community. 548 West 148th Street presents a rare opportunity to live in an exquisite owner’s residence while generating income from two desirable rental units—all in one of Manhattan’s most exciting uptown enclaves.
