Rich in original pre-war details and shaped by the creative vision of its current owners, longtime local artists, the home offers a rare combination of historic character and thoughtful stewardship. Spanning five floors plus a cellar, it presents an exceptional opportunity to own a distinctive Harlem townhouse. Original woodwork has been carefully restored throughout, preserving the home's warmth and architectural integrity. Distinctive hourglass mantels, original moldings, light fixtures, decorative wallpapers, and period hardware remain intact, reflecting the building's history and craftsmanship. Located in Harlem's Mount Morris Park Historic District, just steps from Marcus Garvey Park, the home is surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood cafés, and a vibrant arts community, with convenient access to multiple subway lines nearby. Garden Level The garden floor is a warm and inviting space defined by rich materials and a distinctly homestyle, French-inspired sensibility. At its heart is the back kitchen, intimate yet beautifully appointed, with a marble bar island, built-in glass-door cabinets with wood drawers, ample storage, and a vintage Garland wrought iron stove and oven as the focal point. Antique transom pieces and decorative Farrell & Larson latch cabinetry add a sense of history and craftsmanship throughout. A central room connects the kitchen to the front of the floor and can serve as a walk-in pantry, breakfast room, or casual dining area. At the front, a generous living and dining room provides ample space for gathering and everyday living. Direct access opens to a private garden with mature trees, established plantings, and a spacious stone patio. Parlor Floor The parlor floor makes an immediate and lasting impression. A grand entrance up the stoop leads you into a vestibule framed by meticulously cared for full height wooden doors. Inside, the original newel post and exquisitely detailed staircase sets the tone upon arrival. Moving into the living space you see decorative wallpapers, ornate mantels, and original woodwork enrich the space with period detail and elegance. At the front of the floor is a gracious formal sitting room, while the rear opens to a generous living and music room, creating a layout well suited to both entertaining and everyday living. A discreet bar with a refrigerator and sink is tucked into an alcove, and a powder room completes the level. Third Floor The entire third floor is devoted to a primary suite of exceptional scale. The rear primary bedroom is overlooking the lush gardens increasing the sense of a quiet oasis. The suite is accompanied by a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub and laundry on your floor for your modern convenience. A set of walk-through original closets fitted with wash basins, an extraordinary survival of the building's original infrastructure, lead you to your private living space. At the front of the floor, a full-width library and sitting room extends the primary suite into a true retreat. Custom wallpaper and original built-in closets frame the space, while the architecturally significant mantel, with its striking hourglass profile, serves as the room's focal point. A beautiful recessed window surround, naturally forming a window seat with a step up, captures exceptional light and provides a distinctive architectural detail rarely found in homes of any era. Fourth Floor The fourth floor offers three bedrooms, retaining the original detail and proportion that define this home. Two large, equally scaled bedrooms anchor the floor, each appointed with its own original wash basin, a charming and historically significant feature of the building's original layout, and connected by pocket doors. A third, smaller bedroom adjoins the front bedroom via a connecting door off the hallway, offering flexible use as a nursery, dressing room, or private study. Large windows throughout ensure an abundance of natural light, complimented by the floor's architecturally significant original mantels with their distinctive wrought iron detailing. Original millwork and moldings complete a floor of quiet elegance and enduring character. Fifth Floor Perched at the top of the townhouse, the fifth floor can function as a self-contained guest or nanny suite. It includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, along with a European-style full bathroom where the toilet and sink are separated from the main bath area for added convenience and privacy. A kitchenette with a stovetop completes the space. The fifth floor sits above the surrounding roofline, allowing for open views and good natural light. An additional small office, hall closet, and direct ladder access to the roof complete this level. Cellar The full-depth cellar offers two washer and dryer units and substantial storage. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 7 - **Total Baths**: 6 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 7,180 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1897 - **Price per Sqft**: $627 - **Monthly Taxes**: $751 / mo - **Listed On**: Jun 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 83 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks - Garden - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Central Harlem is $2,272,500, based on 8 sales between September 2021 and June 2026. This home is asking $4,500,000, $2,227,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,156,250 and $2,738,750. - **Median closed price**: $2,272,500 - **Middle half**: $2,156,250 – $2,738,750 - **Based on**: 8 house sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: September 2021 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 8 sales (50%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Floor areas are usually recorded for house sales, so this is a thin patch in the records rather than the norm. Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 87.7% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Central Harlem. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 87.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 6 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 212 days (about 30 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 54 days (about 8 weeks) Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 87.7% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 212 days (about 30 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 54 days (about 8 weeks), based on the 7 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 8 house sales in Central Harlem, September 2021 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.

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 1017200045. 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.
