124 West 132nd Street

Live like royalty in this palatial, meticulously renovated townhouse that melds historic, rustic details with elegant updates in the perfect Harlem location. Configured as an expansive single-family home with four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, the residence can easily be converted to a two-family home with a grand three-bedroom owner's triplex atop a well-appointed, income-generating garden duplex. Parlor Level: Enter on the parlor level and take in gorgeous Brazilian cherry wood floors, a stately Mahogany staircase, swaths of exposed brick and high ceilings, all of which set the tone for the chic details found throughout this majestic residence. On this floor, a large living room and formal dining room sit on opposite ends with the professional-grade open kitchen acting as the literal heart of the home. Here, stunning granite countertops and rows of glass-front cabinetry surround top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf cooktop and oven with vented hood and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Just beyond the dining area, the rear Terrazzo terrace and expansive backyard provide the perfect destination for al fresco dining and outdoor recreation. Garden Level: The garden level provides a cozy destination for casual gatherings or the perfect full-service guest suite. A large brick-lined living room features a lovely decorative fireplace while the home's second, top-notch kitchen offers full-size stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar seating. Further on, a beautiful bathroom with deep-soaking bathtub shower is positioned near a large bedroom with direct access to the rear yard. On the beautifully finished cellar level, you'll find a large home gym, a full bathroom, storage room, a wine cellar and another delightfully rustic living space featuring gorgeous exposed stone walls and a large secluded patio space. 3rd Floor: Head up to the home's third floor to find two regal bedrooms facing front and rear, each with a beautiful en suite bathroom, large closet, decorative fireplace and tall windows. A large laundry room separates the suites and the rear bedroom features a large private balcony of its own. Owner's Suite: Last, but certainly not least, a princely full-floor owner's suite occupies the entire top level of this impressive residence. Here, a serene sleeping chamber is covered in more exposed brick, including another deco fireplace, and opens to a quaint north-facing balcony. Rows of custom closets — including pull-out shoe shelving — line nearly the whole floor, elegantly attending to wardrobe needs. Nearby, a massive barn door leads to the spa-like bathroom — a work of art outfitted with a large steam shower, dual-sink vanity and a stunning claw foot bathtub. A large skylight overhead basks the room in light, accentuating the ornate tilework and expanses of marble. Above the owner suite, you'll find the home's crowning glory – a breathtaking roof deck surrounded by 360-degree neighborhood views. Set in quintessential brownstone Harlem, rows of stunning high-stoop buildings and leafy trees line the block. Located a stone's throw from the bustling 125th Street retail corridor, this home offers excellent access to Harlem's renowned restaurants, nightlife and shopping, not to mention the new Whole Foods. Nearby 2/3, A/C and B/D trains offer easy access to the rest of the city and beyond. *The seller is willing to offer a credit of $2,238/month for the first years' taxes.
