Description

STUNNING! 153 West 120th Street is a classic Renaissance Revival-style townhouse situated within the Mount Morris Park Historic District, contributing to the neighborhood's renowned landmarked streetscape of late 19th-century architecture. Rarely does a property capture the soulful elegance of historic New York while offering the sophisticated ease of a modern renovation, but this legal three-family brownstone does exactly that. Spanning four pristine stories, this residence is a masterclass in versatility, serving as both a grand primary home and an income producer. The heart of the building is the owner’s duplex, where a spectacular, loft-like living area unfolds with soaring ceilings and an effortless flow. The open kitchen and dining space are designed for hosting, leading directly to a bucolic private garden that feels like a hidden sanctuary. Upstairs, the two floor-through apartments—one of which has been entirely renovated—feature high end living. Every corner of this home is bathed in natural light, thanks to a series of well-placed skylights and large windows. Beyond the interior, the lifestyle extends to a beautiful terrace for morning coffee and a finished basement that offers ample storage or recreation space. Situated on one of West Harlem’s most coveted, tree-lined blocks, the location is unbeatable. You’re just moments from three iconic parks and the vibrant energy of Harlem’s dining and entertainment scene. With Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and major transportation hubs nearby, the convenience is as impressive as the architecture. This is a rare chance to own a piece of New York history that pays for itself.
