About this property
A magnificent home and exceptional investment! Impeccably gut-renovated and featured in The New York Times, this rare 5-story townhouse in prime Central Harlem is comprised of a stunning sun-drenched 3 bedroom 2 bathroom owners duplex occupying the garden and parlor levels, and 3 excellent-condition 2 bedroom free market units above, all currently occupied with tenants in place. Live in luxury in the spacious duplex, complete with its own private gated parking spot and large, lovely rear garden, while receiving monthly rental income from the other units. Set on a coveted corner lot, the handsome, thoughtfully restored building offers so many other wonderful features, like private outdoor spaces for each residence, fireplaces on every story (all working except floor 4), rich wood floors, central AC + separate mechanicals for each unit, and a full basement with tons of storage that can be finished to your needs. All levels of the home enjoy an abundance of natural light pouring in throughout the day with exposures to the south, west and east. A planted forecourt and beautiful architectural elements heighten curb appeal upon arrival. A private entrance beneath the front stoop affords access to the garden floor of the owner's duplex. A wide foyer greets you inside and proceeds to a long main hall. This level offers a modern, sunny, sparkling white central kitchen brightened by bayed windows, appointed with extensive cabinetry and a center island. Beyond is a formal dining room for sharing meals, with a door to the covered patio and south-facing garden for a great alfresco experience. Two bedrooms are also found on the garden floor (one in front with a working fireplace and the other in the rear overlooking the garden), as is a full hall bathroom. Up the front stoop is a common vestibule that opens to the parlor level of the owner's duplex. Lounge and entertain in the expansive living room with airy 13'5" ceilings, a brick fireplace, oversized and bayed windows, and lots of options for seating arrangements. A full bath off the living room, and primary bedroom with multiple closets, an en-suite bath and washer-dryer, round out the parlor floor. Third, fourth and fifth floor apartments have similar layouts, presenting an L-shaped living room with fireplace, nice-size kitchen, 2 rear bedrooms, a full bath, mechanical room with washer-dryer, and private outdoor space. The third floor apartment features bay windows that allows light to pour in. The fifth-floor has 360-degree skyline views from the terrace and windows. Best is the location, near Marcus Garvey Park with its swimming pool, tennis courts, amphitheater and green space, Whole Foods, Starbucks, amazing restaurants, shopping, The National Jazz Museum and so much more!
