Beautiful old world charm with all the modern luxuries you could want! This grand 17ft wide brownstone, originally built in 1910, has been tastefully renovated from top to bottom. Spanning over 5 floors, there is an owner’s unit and 2 free market units. The owner’s duplex with basement has a separate entrance and a very large private backyard oasis. The garden level is set up as the main living space. With one large room spanning the whole length of the house, you can enjoy open living and entertaining with many extras, like the electric fireplace, new floors, oversized island in the kitchen with room for seating and access to the backyard. The kitchen has been beautifully redone with a chef in mind; white lacquered cabinets, granite countertops that waterfall over the island and lots of integrated lighting. A powder room is also conveniently located on this floor. The fully finished basement is one of the largest and tallest ceiling basements on this block. The perfect place to create a movie room, game room or anything else you may desire with its large size and new LED recessed lights throughout make it feel part of the home rather than a basement. There is also a full size washer dryer and a utility room. The parlor level, with over 11ft ceilings, has 2 bedrooms that are adjoined by a den area that can become a perfect gathering place. A newly designed and renovated bathroom is conveniently located off the hall with all heated flooring and a glass enclosed shower. Beautifully preserved details such as the extra tall doors, decorative wood details thru out, window casings and original built in mirrors are also showcased. The grand double door entry with vestibule is the perfect setting to appreciate the beauty and details of the brownstone. As you walk upstairs, you will find 2 separate and similar 1 bedroom full floor apartments. Both units have an entry from the living room that faces the street and overlook other beautiful brownstones, treetops and sky. Each unit features details such as 10ft high ceilings, electric fireplace, new chefs kitchen with the same modern finishes, recessed lighting, washer and dryer, new modern bathroom with heated flooring and wonderfully sized bedroom. The top floor has 3 skylights that add an amazing amount of light and ambiance. The entire house boasts a new central split-system AC, including the basement, and everything has been rewired with new electrical throughout. Located in one of the most desirable parts of Harlem, on a beautiful tree lined block, and right by the historic Striver’s Row, this home is conveniently located a block over from St. Nicholas Park. Also nearby are Whole Foods, 2/3 and B/C trains, and lots more shopping, dining, entertainment and transportation. Showings are by appointment only.
