Parlor Level: Enter on the parlor level and take in gorgeous Brazilian cherry wood floors, a stately Mahogany staircase, swaths of exposed brick and high ceilings, all of which set the tone for the chic details found throughout this majestic residence. On this floor, a large living room and formal dining room sit on opposite ends with the professional-grade open kitchen acting as the literal heart of the home. Here, stunning granite countertops and rows of glass-front cabinetry surround top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf cooktop and oven with vented hood and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Just beyond the dining area, the rear Terrazzo terrace and expansive backyard provide the perfect destination for al fresco dining and outdoor recreation. Garden Level: The garden level provides a cozy destination for casual gatherings or the perfect full-service guest suite. A large brick-lined living room features a lovely decorative fireplace while the home's second, top-notch kitchen offers full-size stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar seating. Further on, a beautiful bathroom with deep-soaking bathtub shower is positioned near a large bedroom with direct access to the rear yard. On the beautifully finished cellar level, you'll find a large home gym, a full bathroom, storage room, a wine cellar and another delightfully rustic living space featuring gorgeous exposed stone walls and a large secluded patio space. 3rd Floor: Head up to the home's third floor to find two regal bedrooms facing front and rear, each with a beautiful en suite bathroom, large closet, decorative fireplace and tall windows. A large laundry room separates the suites and the rear bedroom features a large private balcony of its own. Owner's Suite: Last, but certainly not least, a princely full-floor owner's suite occupies the entire top level of this impressive residence. Here, a serene sleeping chamber is covered in more exposed brick, including another deco fireplace, and opens to a quaint north-facing balcony. Rows of custom closets including pull-out shoe shelving line nearly the whole floor, elegantly attending to wardrobe needs. Nearby, a massive barn door leads to the spa-like bathroom a work of art outfitted with a large steam shower, dual-sink vanity and a stunning claw foot bathtub. A large skylight overhead basks the room in light, accentuating the ornate tilework and expanses of marble. Above the owner suite, you'll find the home's crowning glory a breathtaking roof deck surrounded by 360-degree neighborhood views. Set in quintessential brownstone Harlem, rows of stunning high-stoop buildings and leafy trees line the block.
