A gut renovation is bringing a dilapidated Harlem brownstone back to life.

Originally constructed around 1910, the brownstone at 42 West 126th Street has a garden level and rises to three floors on the tree-lined block. Permits filed for the renovation indicate the once four-unit walkup now has eight rental homes inside the updated building. Douglas Elliman is handling leasing and listings are priced between $1,850/month for a first-floor studio to $2,700/month for the garden-level duplex with a private backyard; see all the listings here.
