Seven outdoor spaces! Two-family townhouse on tree-lined block in Central Harlem. Built less than 15 years ago, this is one of the most spectacular and unique homes in Harlem, full of light and stunning outdoor areas. This thoughtfully renovated six-story townhouse (quadruplex over a duplex) is great for an end-user or investor. The upper quadruplex has five bedrooms with custom soundproof windows, 4.5 bathrooms, and SIX outdoor spaces, including a two-tier roof deck equipped with a gas line for summer night cook outs. South-facing floor-to-ceiling windows coupled with exposed brick, and an open riser staircase creates a bright, airy, and warm living space. There is a spacious deck off the living room that is ideal for lounging and entertaining. The lower five-room, two bath duplex has nine foot ceilings, which is rare for a lower unit of a townhouse, a patio, and a garden. The rec room boasts the original masonry retaining wall of a past house built on the site over a hundred years ago. There is central air and heating, washer and dryer, high ceilings, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, and beautiful hardwood floors in both units. This is a fantastic primary residence with a rental unit, or an investment property. This wonderful home is a stone's throw away from the 2/3 subway station, Whole Foods, and all the wonderful restaurants and stores that Harlem has to offer.
