This beautifully reimagined Striver's Row brownstone seamlessly blends classic elegance with contemporary luxury, offering an unrivaled living experience. Thoughtfully redesigned, the exquisite residence features high-end finishes, top-tier amenities, breathtaking city views from your rooftop deck, and private garage parking.
Step inside to discover an expansive open-concept layout, where natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating gleaming hardwood floors. The living room, framed by a decorative fireplace mantel, opens to a charming Juliet balcony-perfect for enjoying warm summer evenings. Flowing effortlessly into the kitchen, this space is an entertainer's dream, boasting Caesarstone quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a full suite of Ferguson stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, double wall oven, and built-in refrigerator. A spacious island anchors the kitchen, while a butler's pantry, equipped with a wet bar, second dishwasher, wine rack, and dual beverage coolers, enhances both function and sophistication.
Ascending to the second level, the full-floor primary suite offers an indulgent retreat, complete with a decorative fireplace, oversized closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom. Italian marble, a custom double vanity, a freestanding soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in shower set the tone for luxury, while a private terrace offers a tranquil escape.
The third level presents two additional en-suite bedrooms, each with generous walk-through closets, abundant storage, and natural light. The crowning feature of this home is the rooftop deck, a private sanctuary with sweeping panoramic views.
On the lower level, a spacious recreation room offers versatility, featuring built-in storage, a full wet bar, and a convenient mudroom leading to the outdoor patio. A fourth bedroom with two large closets, a full bath, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete this level, ensuring effortless living.
Located in the heart of Striver's Row, this home is surrounded by Harlem's vibrant culture, acclaimed dining at Ponty Bistro and Red Rooster, and the green spaces of St. Nicholas Park. With easy access to the 135th Street and Harlem-125th Street subway stations, seamless connectivity to the rest of the city is just moments away.
