About this home
Brownstone Perfection with an Exceptional Private Backyard & No Board Approval!
A truly rare offering, this beautifully renovated floor-through 1-bedroom graces the parlor floor of an 1890s Harlem brownstone, combining timeless prewar detail with modern comforts, soaring 11' ceilings, and an exceptional 435 SF private backyard—your own private urban retreat.
Set within one of Harlem’s most celebrated landmark districts, the home sits on a picturesque, architecturally significant brownstone block. Enter through stately oversized double doors into a living room where tall south-facing windows with original stained glass bathe the space in warm, colorful light. Exposed brick, ornate original window and door frames, a decorative fireplace, and hardwood floors create a rich prewar ambiance rarely found today.
A beautifully renovated open chef’s kitchen flows into a dedicated dining area—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Modern comforts include central HVAC with Nest, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a thoughtfully designed layout that maximizes both space and functionality.
The serene bedroom is lined with a wall of windows that brings in beautiful natural light, and offers a separate dressing area and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins for exceptional storage.
The crown jewel of this home is the expansive 435 sf private backyard—a sun-filled outdoor sanctuary featuring a wood deck, custom planters, and generous space for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Truly one of the most desirable outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. Completing the offering is a private 65 SF storage room that transfers with the home.
The building features a building intercom, fully outfitted gym, and a common roof deck with BBQs. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined brownstone block just moments from the 2/3 trains, with A/B/C/D lines and Metro-North’s 125th Street Station also nearby. The neighborhood is vibrant and culturally rich, offering acclaimed restaurants, beloved institutions, and premier retail—including Whole Foods, Target, Red Rooster, Sylvia’s, the Apollo Theater, the National Black Theatre, and the National Jazz Museum.
Come experience this special home in person—its charm, light, and tranquility are even more compelling when you see it for yourself....
