This home features: - On the upstairs level: 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms + living/dining room + kitchen - On the downstairs level: a huge approximately 500 square foot roomwith windows and outdoor access to use as you wish - plus another half bathroom - South-facing light (especially when the scaffolding comes down, scheduled for later this year), through high windows ensuring maximum light and privacy - Private outdoor space - Modern GE kitchen appliances - Dedicated and free storage unit and bike storage - Virtual doorman and package room Offered in pristine condition, this apartment feels even larger than its size thanks to its 11.5-foot tall ceilings, its many closets, and a layout that maximizes its space.

All this, plus a massive common roof deck with postcard views of the Empire State Building, midtown Manhattan, City College, and more. Ride the elevator directly to the roof level to dine al fresco or enjoy sunset drinks. The 555 Lenox Avenue condo is located in the heart of Harlem - just blocks from neighborhood institutions and landmarks including Harlem Hospital, City College, the Schomburg Center, and less than one block from the beautiful Striver's Row and the St. Nicholas Historic District.
