Live in the heart of Harlem!! Unique 2BR+/2.5BA duplex condo with a large (585+SF) south-facing private garden, ideally located on a quiet stretch of West 126th between Lenox and 5th Avenue. Exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, refinished hardwood floors and a tranquil private garden add to the charm of this urban oasis - as do the suburban-style perks, including a private entrance, side-by-side vented washer and dryer, central air/heat unit, ample storage (plus a separate deeded unit), and a lower-level rec room with heated floors (ideal as home gym, den, playroom, workshop, or spacious guest suite). The unit offers a beautiful blend of amenity and autonomy, in a self-managed, financially stable boutique brownstone condominium.
Pets are welcome - in addition to your private garden, Marcus Garvey Park features an excellent dog run and is just around the corner.
Enjoy living in the epicenter of Harlem, a historically significant and culturally vibrant neighborhood known for its rich heritage, jazz and diverse culinary scene. Iconic landmarks like the Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, National Black Theater, National Jazz Museum and Studio Museum are all in close proximity. Move your late night party from the Red Rooster, Sylvia's, or Corner Social one block (!) to your own private backyard, complete with a gazebo and grill! Whole Foods and other major stores are around the corner at 125th Street & Lenox Avenue, as are the 2/3 train and M60 SBS bus. Metro North trains are five minutes away, for both day-to-day commuting and weekend escapes. Likewise, there's a well-priced parking garage on the block, and a wonderful local coffee shop just two doors down - so close you can practically smell the coffee!
