PARTIALLY FURNISHED TOWNHOUSE oasis to live and work from home ! Unique opportunity to rent an ENTIRE 18.5 ft wide townhouse near Strivers' Row. Whether on a sabbatical or have an extensive renovation and need a (long) short term rental, this is a perfect temporary home. Beautifully restored from top to bottom, this 5 bedroom 3 bathroom gem on a beautiful tree-lined block in Harlem harkens back to an era of elegant living. Indulge your green thumb in the landscaped garden, visible and accessible thru the glass doors of the spacious eat-in-kitchen complete with a working dumb-waiter and one of the 4 working fireplaces throughout the building. Relax in the large adjoining family room (which can double as a guest room) featuring another original fireplace and wainscoting. A full bathroom and a separate entrance completes this most used floor for family gatherings. Retire upstairs via the original carved staircase to the primary suite on the third floor. Then on to the sun-filled fourth floor (thanks to a couple of skylights) complete with 2 spacious bedrooms separated by a shared walk-in closet and full bathroom; a laundry room and rear deck which overlooks neighboring gardens complete the list of amenities spread throughout the house.
