RENTAL UNITS ARE GREATLY UNDER MARKET – ESTIMATED ANNUAL RENT IS $312K/YEAR.
226 East 32nd Street is a meticulously maintained five-story townhouse configured as four well-laid-out residences, including a garden duplex with private outdoor space and three one-bedroom floor-through units above.
This turnkey property offers the rare opportunity to move in or rent immediately, without the cost or disruption of a renovation. It’s ideal for an owner-occupant seeking a comfortable residence with strong supplemental income from the additional units.
For an owner-occupant, the numbers tell a compelling story. With 30% down and rental income from the three upstairs units applied against carrying costs, the net monthly cost of owning the entire building comes to roughly $22,000. By comparison, renting a comparable garden duplex alone in this neighborhood could run approximately $12,000 per month. For about $10,000 more per month, a buyer can own the entire five-story townhouse outright, building equity and long-term value instead of paying rent indefinitely.
226 East 32nd Street combines condition, configuration, and location for an exceptional opportunity, whether for an end-user or an investor seeking immediate usability and long-term value.
Additional notes:
With four units, the property may qualify for exemption from the pied-à-terre tax; buyers should confirm with their attorney.
A full staircase provides roof access, offering potential for a roof deck, subject to DOB approval.
Monthly cost estimates assume 30% down and prevailing jumbo mortgage rates; actual terms vary by buyer and lender and should be confirmed with a mortgage professional.
