Description

This gorgeous two-family Romanesque Revival home is the standout central property in a set of five townhouses built in 1887 by Alfred Barlow and James Kilpatrick. Situated in the heart of the Mount Morris Park Historic District and just half a block from the Park, this house has been beautifully renovated to combine period detail with the comforts of contemporary living.

This elegant home is twenty (20) feet wide and fifty-five (55) feet deep with an additional extension, and is divided into an Owners Triplex with twelve (12) foot ceilings throughout, and a Garden Apartment, plus a fully finished cellar accessed from the Triplex, giving a total of 5,550 square feet of livable space. Features of this beautiful home include:

The distinctive and elegant facade combines interplay of a beautiful arch and covered porch on the parlor level and Romanesque arched windows and arches on the third floor and roof, with a stately bay window on the second floor.
The interior retains the original outstanding quality mahogany and oak woodwork, parquet floors, pocket doors and period fireplaces, and the renovation has added full central HVAC and a multi-camera security system.

Owners Triplex:
The Parlor floor highlights the interplay of oak and mahogany in the interior design and is centered around a beautifully carved oak staircase of outstanding quality.
The Great Room features carved oak French bay windows opening onto the covered porch.
The formal dining room and modern kitchen boast Wolf and Bosch appliances, while the hallway reception room has a Miele bean-to-cup coffee system, Fisher & Pavkel chiller, and a Marvel Wine Cooler. Audio is provided by a custom three-zone Sonos surround system.
The second floor features the elegant master bedroom and bath, and front office and bath, with the office having a carved oak coppered bay window of exceptional quality. The office converts to a home cinema with built-in Mitsubishi projector and cinema and blackout screens, which retract into the ceiling when not in use.
The third floor has two beautiful bedrooms and a study and laundry, and two full baths, with the master bath featuring a matching Victoria and Albert IOS oval tub and sink.
Three skylights, and the north and south facing windows on each floor combine with the twelve-foot ceilings to fill the house with light and a sense of space.

Garden Apartment
The Garden Apartment has a modern and streamlined design, and features a living room and kitchen, laundry, bedroom and one and a half baths.

Finished Cellar
The fully finished cellar, accessed from the Owners Triplex, has a recreation room, well-equipped home gym, and a half bath.

Location:
This lovely home is just a few steps from Harlems Restaurant Row and shopping on 125th St, with Whole Foods, Bed Bath and Beyond, and much more.
Also conveniently close to transportation options including the 2/3 and B/C subway lines and the M2, M7 and M101 bus lines.
For recreation, 19 W 120th St is nestled between Mount Morris Park, Morningside Park and Central Park.

This property is delivered vacant with all paperwork provided.
