Listing Notes

Spanning approximately 3, 200 square feet, this impressive 18-foot-wide single-family residence offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 powder room, thoughtfully redesigned for elevated city living while maintaining its classic brownstone character. Inside, every detail has been carefully curated from wide-plank white oak flooring and custom staircase lighting to upgraded electrical systems and individually controlled split-system heating and cooling throughout. The parlor level is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, featuring an expansive open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light from both eastern and western exposures. At the center of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen complete with a nearly 10-foot quartz island, custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of GE stainless steel appliances. The second floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, offering a peaceful and fully sound-insulated retreat. Highlights include a generous bedroom, an illuminated walk-through closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with double vanity, oversized rainfall shower, heated towel rack, and radiant heated floors. On the third level, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with side-by-side LG front-loading washer and dryer. A newly created fourth floor adds a dynamic bonus level ideal for entertaining, lounging, or working from home. Complete with a wet bar, wine fridge, ice maker, dishwasher, and extensive storage, this space opens through sliding glass doors to a private 244-square-foot rooftop terrace with skyline and sunset views. The garden level, accessible through its own private entrance or the interior staircase, provides exceptional flexibility with a large recreation room, full bathroom with curbless shower, and an additional office or den. With direct access to the backyard, this level is perfect for guests, work-from-home needs, or casual gatherings. Located on a picturesque tree-lined stretch of Manhattan Avenue near Morningside Park, the home is moments from the 2, 3, B, and C trains, multiple bus lines, Columbia University, Central Park, Marcus Garvey Park, and some of Harlem's best dining, culture, and shopping destinations.
