Property Description for 5 West 120th Street, 2

Rarely available, full floor, simplex 2 bed / 2 bath with 2 private outdoor spaces plus a roof deck in Prime South Harlem.

On the most desirable tree-lined block on the corner of Mount Morris Park and blocks from Central Park, this gorgeous full floor home is located in the land-marked Mount Morris Park Historic District, in a meticulously renovated prewar brownstone.

The large, south facing windows ensure sunshine through the open concept kitchen, living, and dining room. The extra high ceilings and exposed brick walls and two fireplaces give character to the grandiose living area and bedroom.

The kitchen features a great, waterfall marble island, ample storage space and high-end appliances (Viking range, Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, and Bosch dishwasher).

The very large master bedroom with en-suite bath comfortably fits a king-sized bed, furniture, with still enough room leftover for a quiet sitting area. The bedroom also opens to the private patio.

The second bedroom also gets plenty of light from the door that has access to the patio as well.

The peaceful, landscaped "zen" private garden is just a few steps down from the patio, the ultimate luxury in New York City.

The shared roof deck provides even more outdoor space and gorgeous city views.

Both bathrooms have been fully renovated and feature rainforest shower-heads, marble and sandstone tile, water efficient fixtures and ventilation fans. The second bathroom features a deep soaking tub.

The apartment has central heating and a/c as well as an in-unit washer/dryer that vents to the outside.

Owners enjoy extremely low common charges, property taxes.

This block is permanently closed off from traffic (only residents can enter) making it the most desirable block in the area. Since only residents can enter the street it is very quiet, and parking is easy.

Owner gets spoiled with easy access to the 2/3, 4/5/6, A/B/C/D, subway lines, Metro North, Citibikes, and the M60 bus to LaGuardia Airport.

Convenient access to parks, shopping, fine dining, and entertainment. Wholefoods, Red Rooster, Sylvia's, Barawine, Settepani and other trendy restaurants, bars, music spots, museums, and Central, Marcus Garvey, and Morningside Parks are only steps away.

Mt. Morris Park | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Central Harlem is an enclave filled with cultural landmarks, gilded age brownstones and a vibe you don’t find in many neighborhoods these days. Mount Morris Park Historic District, located in west central Harlem, is a vibrant neighborhood with tree-lined streets and gorgeous brownstones. The large 16-block section is the byproduct of Harlem’s first building boom and should not be confused with Mount Morris Park, which is a 20-acre park that was renamed Marcus Garvey Memorial Park in 1977. What can we say? Sometimes gentrification complicates things.

The boundaries of Mount Morris Park Historic District are West 118th and West 124th Streets, Fifth Avenue, and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. The neighborhood was designated a historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1971. Architectural buffs will be enamoured by the neighborhood's handsome architecture that includes late 19th- and early 20th century row houses designed in the Romanesque Revival, neo-Grec and Queen Anne style.
