Every detail of this meticulously renovated massive Strivers' Row townhouse blends timeless historic character with modern sophistication, creating a truly extraordinary home. Rare amenities such as a private on-site 2 car garage are seamlessly integrated into its design, offering both convenience and exclusivity.
On the garden level, restored parquet hardwood floors, elegant decorative fireplaces, and original columns showcase the home's historic craftsmanship. Toward the rear, a formal dining area transitions into the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, Summit wine cooler, and abundant custom cabinetry. A subway tile backsplash, polished fixtures, and thoughtfully placed wall sconces complete the space, while a separate laundry room with Whirlpool washer/dryer adds everyday ease.
Access the rarest of all Manhattan rarities - your own, private, 2 car garage - off the rear of this level.
The expansive cellar level is both stylish and versatile, featuring exposed brick and ceiling joists alongside a sprawling recreation room that can adapt to any need-home office, private gym, or media lounge. A fully outfitted wet bar with Caesarstone countertops, shaker cabinetry, and dual beverage centers makes it perfect for entertaining.

Five of the six bedrooms feature luxurious en-suite baths with radiant heated floors, Carrera marble tiles, and polished nickel finishes. The primary suite includes a private roof terrace, while other bedrooms are enhanced with Juliet balconies.
Crowning this remarkable home is a motorized glass skybox that opens to a full rooftop deck, a striking modern addition that brings outdoor living to new heights.

Harlem | Manhattan
Quick Profile
The neighborhood called West Harlem by the locals is known as Manhattanville to neighborhood newcomers. The area is culturally diverse and might be considered a microcosm of the city as a whole.
Columbia University has recently expanded into the area, which is attracting student residents from all over the world. Together with students from the City College of New York and young professionals fleeing higher prices in other neighborhoods, this influx of younger residents has brought with it more restaurants and bars on W 125th Street to serve this clientele. There are also new ventures, like a rock-climbing gym, to cater to the interests of these students and young professionals. At the same time, there are many small, family-owned shops and restaurants that have been anchors of the neighborhood for multiple generations.
The area has been through a housing upgrade, as older properties have been renovated and abandoned properties have been razed to make room for new development. There are still reasonably priced apartments available. Young professionals are finding that there is a certain cachet to living in West Harlem. It provides a convenient commute to the city and all of its amenities, while providing a sense of escape at the end of a long work day.
While rentals are popular with the student population, the young professionals are delighted to find pre-war brownstones, pre-war co-ops (including some income-capped HDFCs for lower- and middle-income buyers), and post-war condos that they can afford, although prices are rising. Some new low-rise developments, sporting virtual doormen and desired amenities, are cropping up.
