Built in 1910, this gorgeous brownstone sits directly across from the former home of Langston Hughes, a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance. The American poet, essayist, and playwright produced some of his most notable works within the home. Among his well-known works, Hughes wrote “The Weary Blues” and “Montage of a Dream Deferred” while residing in his Central Harlem home. With its historical relevance, this home is only one example of the stunning properties that line the street, worth admiring.

Encompassing a remarkable 3,460 square feet, this home provides ample space for a comfortable lifestyle. Its highly-coveted floor-to-ceiling windows invite an abundance of natural light that creates an unbeatable atmosphere. 

The home is also equipped with updated appliances, which perfectly compliments the home’s gorgeous details. With its original details preserved, such as its ornate fireplaces, the home’s ideal balance of timeless style and modern luxury ensures the architectural integrity of the property is effortlessly encapsulated. 

The property also features an eat-in kitchen that provides ample space and seating, whether you are dining alone or with guests.

Perfect for entertaining, the dining room is right off of the kitchen and provides both the guests and the host the perfect place to socialize and enjoy a delicious meal.

Every bedroom of the home is thoughtfully designed, with a focus on both functionality and style, creating the perfect atmosphere for residents to unwind.

The primary en-suite bathroom perpetuates a spa-like feel, with its large soaking tub and decorative fireplace that makes the space feel absolutely rejuvinating.

Perhaps its most coveted feature, 23 East 127th Street features a tranquil private garden that serves as the perfect space to unwind and enjoy the city that surrounds. The space is perfect for relaxation and a fun-filled garden party for guests.
