Description

Have you always dreamed of living in a brownstone, but never wanted to take on a "project?" Welcome to a truly move-in-ready brownstone where classic New York character meets bold contemporary design. This meticulously renovated four-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhouse has been thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, so you can simply unpack and enjoy. Past the handsome brownstone facade, you enter to discover a striking modern interior with soaring ceilings, four levels of floor-to-ceiling glass, and an exposed steel-and-reclaimed-oak staircase at the center of the home. This home is an entertainer's dream. The parlor level is made for living well, with a spectacular Gaggenau kitchen, oversized island, garden-facing dining area, flexible home office, pantry, powder room, and direct access to the backyard. Upstairs the second and third floors feature a spacious primary suite, family room, laundry room, private terrace, and additional bedrooms and lounge space. The garden level adds another bedroom and full bath, plus a library, media room, bar, and direct access to a beautifully landscaped private garden designed by Evan Lai. With lawn, lounge and dining areas, a grill, and a second-floor terrace, the outdoor spaces feel like a natural extension of the home. A finished cellar adds tons of additional storage and a flexible rec room. Every detail of this home has been considered, from central air and Nest climate control to Lutron shades and lighting, multi-zone Sonos, smart-home technology, video security, and keyless entry. Situated close to Central Park, Morningside Park, Marcus Garvey Park, multiple transportation options, and an exceptional mix of restaurants, cafés, music, culture, and neighborhood favorites, this home is so much more than the sum of its parts.
