About this home
Townhouse scale living in Prime Harlem within the Mount Morris Park Historic District
A rare opportunity to own a true townhouse style duplex condo in the heart of South Harlem. Spanning approximately 2,569 square feet across two full floors, this is the largest two bedroom, three bathroom residence in the building, complete with a private entrance, recreation room, home office flexibility, and two exceptional outdoor spaces including a private garden and a shared rooftop deck.
Set on one of Harlem’s most coveted tree lined Open Streets blocks, just perpendicular to Mount Morris Park West at Malcolm X Boulevard, this full floor home is housed within a meticulously renovated prewar brownstone in the Mount Morris Park Historic District. Owners benefit from low common charges and low property taxes, an increasingly rare advantage in Manhattan.
The main living level is designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring a generous open concept kitchen, living, and dining area flooded with natural light. Oversized windows, hardwood floors, exposed brick, custom fixtures, and a decorative fireplace create a warm yet airy atmosphere with authentic townhouse character.
The galley walk-through chef’s kitchen offers ample counter space and a striking waterfall quartz island, paired with premium appliances including a Viking range, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator and freezer, and a Bosch dishwasher.
The primary bedroom is a serene private retreat with a cozy sitting area, decorative fireplace, luxurious en suite bath, and direct access to your private garden patio, a true New York City luxury. The second bedroom comfortably fits a queen size bed, offers generous closet space, and also opens directly onto the garden through sliding doors, creating seamless indoor outdoor living.
All bathrooms have been fully renovated with rainfall showerheads, marble and sandstone tile, water efficient fixtures, and ventilation fans. The second full bathroom features a deep soaking tub. Additional features include central heating and air conditioning, an in unit washer dryer on the lower level, and a second washer dryer hookup on the main level.
The beautifully finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility and consists of a separate closeted room that can serve as an additional sleeping area, home office, and the remainder of this level can be a gym, playroom, or home theater. This level also includes a full bath and generous storage closet.
A shared roof deck offers additional outdoor space and open city views, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
The street itself is part of the New York City Open Streets program and is permanently closed to through traffic, with access limited to residents only. The result is an unusually quiet and residential setting with easy parking, making this one of the most desirable blocks in Harlem.
Transportation is outstanding, with nearby access to the 2 and 3, 4, 5, 6, and A, B, C, D subway lines, Metro North, Citi Bike stations, and multiple bus routes including the M1, M2, M3, M4, M7, M10, M102, and M116, providing easy north south and east west connectivity across Manhattan. The M60 Select Bus Service to LaGuardia Airport is also close by.
Surrounded by Harlem’s dining, culture, wellness, and neighborhood life, you are moments from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Red Rooster, Sylvia’s, Caffè Latte, Archer and Goat, Harlem Shake, Barawine, and Settepani. Cultural landmarks nearby include the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. Fitness and recreation are equally accessible, with New York Sports Club Harlem, Blink Fitness, Planet Fitness, CompleteBody, and the Harlem YMCA close by, along with running paths and outdoor workout space in Marcus Garvey Park, Central Park, and Morningside Park.
This is townhouse living at its finest....
