12 Mount Morris Park West, 1

This 8,000 square foot single-family mansion is one of the largest residential properties you can rent in Manhattan. Ten (10) comfortable bedrooms, seven (7) full bathrooms, two (2) half-bathrooms, two (2) wet bars, and one (1) large commercial-grade kitchen on the ground floor which was literally made for a professional chef.

The home was originally designed and built in 1888 by James E. Ware (The Osbourne, Mohonk Mountain House, Halcyon Hall) and initially occupied in the early twentieth century by Dr. James Robinson until the late ’20’s.

Purchased by the current owners in 1997, the home underwent a full restoration with great respect to preserve original details and adding modern improvements behind the walls including new steel joists, modern electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and over 20 new mahogany double-pane weight-and-chain windows.

Nearly every floor of the house has two (2) working wood-burning fireplaces making nine (9) total fireplaces. The parlor floor has a ceiling height of 16 feet, and with the house at twenty-five feet wide, you can really feel the size of the space as you pass through each room.

Included in the 8,000 SF, you have a large storage cellar, plus an additional backyard space, and approximately 1,200 SF of potential roof deck if you desired. This listing is located in a beautiful historic disctrict just steps to all the best shopping and nightlife that Harlem has to offer.
