Description

Step inside this masterfully reimagined brownstone and experience elevated modern living paired with timeless design. This extraordinary residence offers five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, an internal elevator, terrace, roof deck, and rear yard.

The grand parlor floor welcomes you into a luminous open layout, perfect for both effortless entertaining and tranquil everyday living. A refined neutral palette sets a sophisticated tone, while a gas fireplace, sleek tile flooring, and an original pier mirror-refinished in a soft white lacquer-nod to the home's historic charm with a contemporary twist.

The chef's kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, outfitted with custom flush cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz countertops, and a suite of high-end appliances including a SubZero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Summit wine cooler, and Wolf gas cooktop with double wall oven. Just across the way, a skylit dining room invites intimate meals or grand gatherings, with direct access to a rear deck made for al fresco dining.

Ascend the striking glass and white oak staircase to your full-floor primary suite. A walk-through custom closet leads into a spa-worthy bath, showcasing a freestanding soaking tub, double quartz vanity, patterned tile accent wall, and a glass-enclosed rain shower with bench seating. From here, step onto your private terrace-an ideal perch for quiet mornings or evening unwinding.

The third floor hosts two generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and radiant-heated en-suite or adjacent baths featuring sleek chrome fixtures and glass-enclosed showers. Atop the home, the private rooftop terrace is a true showstopper. Complete with a wet bar, Wolf range, and SubZero fridge, this is the ultimate space to entertain against the Manhattan skyline.

The garden level offers versatility and comfort, with a large recreation room, laundry, powder room, second wet bar, and access to the fully renovated backyard-ideal for indoor-outdoor living year-round. Additional conveniences include a video intercom system and thoughtful storage throughout.

Perfectly positioned near Whole Foods, the 2/3/4/5/6 subway lines, and surrounded by iconic Harlem staples like Sylvia's, Red Rooster, and Harlem Shake, this home offers the best of city living. Spend weekends exploring Marcus Garvey Park, just moments away from your front door.
