Keller Williams NYC Announces Harlem Building for Sale
- The Mercer, an eight-unit, six-story Harlem new development at 60 East 127th Street, is listed for $7.2M -
(New York, NY March 23, 2024) Keller Williams New York City (KWNYC), a Manhattan-based real estate brokerage firm specializing in residential and commercial sales and rentals, part of the Keller Williams franchise, announces it is the exclusive sales and marketing firm for The Mercer, a new boutique residential development at 60 East 127th Street. KWNYC agent Reginald Louissaint will head sales.
The six-story, eight-unit elevator building was developed by Attorney Steven Barshov and designed by The Thread Collective. It is owned by 60 East 127th Street LLC.
The building name is an homage to John Mercer Langston. Langston was an American abolitionist, attorney, educator, activist, diplomat, politician, and great-uncle to Langston Hughes. His own plaqued residence is a block away at 20 East 127th Street. He was the first African American elected to public office in the U.S., the first African American member of Congress from Virginia and the founding dean of the law school at Howard University. In the ground-floor lobby, an oil-on-canvas painting by artist Steve Ellis honors John Mercer Langston and his legacy.

The building was originally for sale by owner. However, this month Reginald Louissaint of Keller Williams NYC was appointed the exclusive sales agent for the property. “I chose Reginald because he is dedicated, multi-lingual with extensive overseas contacts, attentive to detail, and, most of all, because he truly cares about his clients,” explains seller, Steven Barshov, Esq.
“The whole idea of building this beautiful property from the ground up was a dream which came to reality for Steven,” comments Louissaint, licensed real estate salesperson, Keller Williams NYC. “I’m very pleased to be representing The Mercer.”
The building can be viewed listed on the KWNYC site: https://kwnyc.com/60-east-127th-street-10035/east-harlem/house/268752/
Prior to construction, this site was a vacant lot due to a fire which destroyed the original structure. Barshov purchased the lot in 2008 with the original intention of owning and occupying the first three floors and selling the upper three. However, when the seller and his family needed to relocate to Florida for medical reasons, he decided to sell the entire building in 2023 so others could enjoy what he developed.
