2362 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd

Occupied by only its 2nd owner, this gracious 5 story plus sub-basement Georgian-style townhouse was built in 1896 but not inhabited until 1920. The original owner, Clifton Norman D.D.S., was one of the first African-American dentists to practice and live in Strivers' Row. The townhouse has the distinction of being the only remaining single family in Strivers' Row facing Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd and has always been a family home. Still retaining its original layout, many prewar features plus original hardwood floors throughout as well as some of Doctor Norman's "tools of the trade" and personal belongings, this 4,112 square feet home is comprised of 14 rooms including 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 9 decorative fireplaces.

The parlor floor boasts 11-foot ceilings and consists of a foyer, a formal sitting room in the front with a decorative fireplace, a Juliet balcony, and a gallery for your artwork in the central area (plus a second fireplace). The formal dining room in the rear has another decorative fireplace and a full bathroom (formerly the pantry which retains the servants' stairs to the kitchen below). The garden level features a living room or den in the front, a spacious eat-in kitchen, a full bathroom, and access to a secluded rear yard with egress to West 138th Street. The 3rd floor consists of 2 bedrooms, one with a dressing closet, and a full hall bathroom. The 4th floor consists of 2 bedrooms (one currently used as a 2nd kitchen) and a full hall bathroom. A large, original skylight brightens the 5th floor which has 3 more bedrooms (one with 2 large walk-in closets) and a full hall bathroom.
