409 Edgecombe Avenue, New York, NY 10032

Located in the historic Sugar Hill section of Hamilton Heights, 409 Edgecombe Avenue is one of Upper Manhattan's notable pre-war residential buildings. Constructed in 1917 and designed by the architectural firm of Schwartz & Gross, the property is distinguished by its Neo-Georgian architecture, stone-faced base, brick upper stories and decorative terra-cotta details.

The 14-story elevator cooperative contains approximately 123 residential units and offers residents a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, elevators and common outdoor space. The building is also pet friendly and provides a traditional full-service residential environment.

Set prominently above Jackie Robinson Park, the property enjoys an elevated position with views toward the Harlem River and surrounding Manhattan and Bronx skyline. The building also has an important place in Harlem history and was home to prominent African American figures including W. E. B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall and Roy Wilkins.

The location provides convenient access to public transportation, with the A, B, C and D trains at 145th Street and additional B and C service at 155th Street. Residents are also close to Jackie Robinson Park, local restaurants, supermarkets, shops and other neighborhood amenities.

As an HDFC cooperative, 409 Edgecombe Avenue offers an affordable-housing ownership structure subject to income and resale restrictions. The property therefore combines historic architecture, a highly recognizable Harlem location and an established cooperative community.
