Brownstone Perfection with an Exceptional Private Backyard & No Board Approval! A truly rare offering, this beautifully renovated floor-through 1-bedroom graces the parlor floor of an 1890s Harlem brownstone, combining timeless prewar detail with modern comforts, soaring 11' ceilings, and an exceptional 435 SF private backyard-your own private urban retreat. Set within one of Harlem's most celebrated landmark districts, the home sits on a picturesque, architecturally significant brownstone block. Enter through stately oversized double doors into a living room where tall south-facing windows with original stained glass bathe the space in warm, colorful light. Exposed brick, ornate original window and door frames, a decorative fireplace, and hardwood floors create a rich prewar ambiance rarely found today. A beautifully renovated open chef's kitchen flows into a dedicated dining area-ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Modern comforts include central HVAC with Nest, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a thoughtfully designed layout that maximizes both space and functionality. The serene bedroom is lined with a wall of windows that brings in beautiful natural light, and offers a separate dressing area and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins for exceptional storage. The crown jewel of this home is the expansive 435 sf private backyard-a sun-filled outdoor sanctuary featuring a wood deck, custom planters, and generous space for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Truly one of the most desirable outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. Completing the offering is a private 65 SF storage room that transfers with the home. The building features a building intercom, fully outfitted gym, and a common roof deck with BBQs. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined brownstone block just moments from the 2/3 trains, with A/B/C/D lines and Metro-North's 125th Street Station also nearby. The neighborhood is vibrant and culturally rich, offering acclaimed restaurants, beloved institutions, and premier retail-including Whole Foods, Target, Red Rooster, Sylvia's, the Apollo Theater, the National Black Theatre, and the National Jazz Museum. Come experience this special home in person-its charm, light, and tranquility are even more compelling when you see it for yourself.
