BACK ON MARKET. DEAL FELL TRHOUGH. GREAT HOUSE READY FOR THE NEXT OWNER. Indulge in the timeless luxury of this beautifully kept single-family townhouse located on Striver's Row at 231 West 139th Street. This 18-foot-wide townhouse is a blend of late 19th-century Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Romanesque architecture. Please note the building is currently empty and will be delivered vacant. Photos with furniture are from a prior tenant. Overview: This radiant sunlit property, brimming with Pre-War charm, has been fully updated to seamlessly blend exclusive comfort and modern conveniences in an enchanting pre-war setting. Enjoy an abundance of space in this exquisite townhouse, offering a formal living room and dining room, a chef's kitchen and family room along with four generously proportioned bedrooms and three wonderfully renovated bathrooms spread out over four floors. Each room is a sanctuary, with high ceilings, exquisite architectural details and gleaming hardwood parquet flooring that echo the refinement of classic New York in the late 19th Century. The townhouse is flooded with northern and southern exposure light, highlighting the intricate original detail that carriers throughout the property. You'll find the convenience of a washer/dryer on the top floor, making laundry a breeze. The home has a newly installed ductless cooling and heating system with controls in every room.
