Though Bob Dylan is perhaps most closely associated with Greenwich Village in New York, NY, the freewheelin’ Nobel Laureate spent a great deal of time at his very own townhouse in Harlem as well. He ultimately sold the four-story property in 2000, cashing it in for $560,000 at the time. Seventeen years later, the owners placed the townhouse back on the market, with an asking price of $3,689,000.
Situated at 265 W 139th St., the reason for the price increase is likely due to the overall gentrification of Harlem, as well as many renovations made within the interior of the townhouse. Nevertheless, the building once bore witness to the creative genius that is Bob Dylan, and for that reason alone it’s attracting a certain level of panache.
You can check out the listing on 6sqft if you want to know more about Dylan’s former home, complete with the title “139th Street revisited” to punny effect. The outside of the townhouse is pictured below.
