Description

This exceptional prime South Harlem townhouse is a study in scale, privacy, and elevated design-featuring five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a private elevator, expansive outdoor space, and meticulously curated finishes throughout.

Upon entry, a sunlit living room unfolds into a grand, open dining area designed for effortless entertaining. The space flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen outfitted with premium appliances, including a Bertazzoni range and a Summit wine cooler, anchored by a generous breakfast bar. A separate walk-in prep kitchen enhances both functionality and discretion, while a private deck extends the living space outdoors for al fresco dining.

Accessible via staircase or private elevator, the upper levels are dedicated to serene, full-floor-style suites. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering dual walk-in closets and a spa-caliber bath with an oversized walk-in shower designed for a restorative, at-home experience. A second suite on this level features a gracious dressing area and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath.

The next floor introduces two additional bedroom suites, each with substantial closet space and refined bathrooms. A convenient kitchenette and powder room service the expansive rooftop terrace above, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining experience with skyline views.

The lower levels continue to impress, offering a private guest suite, a recreation lounge with wet bar, and direct access to a landscaped backyard-ideal for hosting or quiet retreat. The cellar level provides additional versatility with a large laundry room, secondary recreation space, wet bar, and abundant storage.

Situated on a prime, tree-lined block in South Harlem with easy access to Central Park, this home is surrounded by some of the neighborhood's most sought-after dining, cafés, and boutique shopping, creating an effortless blend of residential calm and vibrant city living. Nearby green spaces and local parks offer a welcome escape, while convenient access to multiple subway lines-including the A, C, and 1 trains-ensures seamless connectivity to the rest of Manhattan and beyond. Whether commuting, dining out, or enjoying the neighborhood's cultural energy, this location delivers both convenience and lifestyle in equal measure.
