House: 719 Saint Nicholas Avenue

719 St. Nicholas Avenue is a five-story residential apartment building with ground-level commercial office space, landmarked in the Sugar Hill Historic District. Originally built in 1890, the building was once home to the Barnard School for Boys (which merged into Horace Mann), and a speakeasy even occupied the ground floor during prohibition! In 2020, Artifact Living gut renovated the building down to the studs, creating six beautiful apartments with original details that preserve the building’s classic Harlem style while adding essential amenities like central air conditioning, sound-insulated windows, premium kitchen appliances, Porcelanosa stone countertops and a Bosch washer and dryer in every unit. The building is secured with a Latch video intercom and Latch smart locks on apartment doors plus a building-wide cloud video system.
