A Turn-of-the-Century Brownstone in East Harlem

Since 1968, 475 East 115th Street has served as a convent for the Little Sisters of the Assumption, an order known for their transformative work in the community. Home to generations of sisters over the decades, the building carries a rich architectural and cultural history rarely found in East Harlem's residential stock.

Zoned R7A (M3 use), this 20-foot-wide townhouse spans four floors plus a full basement - 5,300 square feet in all. A gracious stoop rises to a grand parlor-floor entrance, opening onto three expansive rooms. Upstairs, (14) bedrooms and (4) bathrooms, along with two kitchens and a dedicated laundry room, reflect the building's former use as a residence for the order - offering a rare, expansive layout with strong potential for renovation and reconfiguration to suit a new owner's vision.

Whether envisioned as an investment property, a renovated private 1 or 2 family residence, or office space, 475 East 115th Street presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of East Harlem history.
