About this property

Beautiful two-family brownstone located in Central Harlem’s St Nicholas Historic District. Recently renovated, the 18ft-wide building has retained classic brownstone touches – original shutters, crown molding, and hardwood parquet floors are front and center stage. Currently, the layout includes a triplex and a separate 1 bedroom suite with a private entrance and a backyard. Perfect for entertaining, the oversized great room features ten-foot ceilings, wooden paneling, a dining area that seats ten comfortably, and a beautiful decorative fireplace with a marble mantlepiece. Lining the great room, a wall of French doors open onto another windowed large room leading into the kitchen. The spacious primary suite features custom built-ins, dual walk-in closets with dual vanity, and a gorgeous bathroom with a deep soaking tub and original ceramic tiles and fixtures. A wide staircase with a custom balustrade leads to the top floor flanked by office space and two ample-sized bedrooms. Both rooms have custom-built out closets and access to two dressing rooms with dual vanity. This brownstone is in close proximity to Strivers Row, St Nicholas Park, Apollo Theater, Columbia University, City University of New York, Barnard College and major subways the A, B, C, D, 2, 3 and many bus lines, shopping centers and restaurants.
