Spacious 1,203-square-foot duplex featuring 1.5 baths, south-facing exposure, a private outdoor patio, flexible living and work-from-home space, and an in-unit washer and dryer in the heart of Harlem.

Welcome to Residence THA at The Morellino, an elevated first-floor duplex offering a rare combination of classic pre-war character, recently upgraded finishes, bright and generous living spaces, and a private outdoor retreat—all set on one of Harlem’s most charming brownstone blocks.

The upper level opens into an airy kitchen, dining, and living area, where south-facing windows bring in natural light throughout the day. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with a full suite of stainless steel KitchenAid appliances—including a gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and side-by-side refrigerator—along with a glass-tile backsplash and stone countertops. A separate bedroom on this level offers additional flexibility, while a windowed bathroom with a soaking tub completes the floor.

Downstairs, enjoy the privacy of a generously sized bedroom tucked away from the main living areas. And a separate den provides an ideal home office, study, or additional lounge space. A powder room, custom-built closets, and an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer add convenience to the level. From the den, glass doors open directly onto a private, fenced-in patio—a rare outdoor retreat and a true extension of the home.

Recent improvements, including refinished floors and kitchen upgrades, elevate the interiors while preserving the home’s pre-war charm. Central HVAC provides year-round comfort, with radiators on the lower level available as a supplemental heat source and included in the common charges if desired.

Residents of The Morellino, a pet-friendly pre-war condominium conversion, enjoy a fitness center, common rooftop, children’s playroom, virtual doorman system, and staffed reception lobby—all complemented by low common charges and real estate taxes.

Located within the landmarked Mount Morris Park Historic District, the home is just a block and a half from Marcus Garvey Park and eight blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile. Columbia University and City College are also within walking distance. Harlem’s renowned dining scene—including Red Rooster, Barawine, Settepani, Sottocasa, Maison Harlem, and Sylvia’s—is close by, along with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Target.

Convenient access to the express 2/3, 4/5/6, A/C, and B/D subway lines, M2, M7, and M101 buses, and Metro-North service provides easy connectivity throughout Manhattan and beyond.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1019031301. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
