    What's special

    **For Sale by Owner: Unique Manhattan Townhouse in Historic Strivers’ Row** ( delivers vacate and furnished) Buyers' agent welcome! Photo credit - historic pics credit to Striversrownyc dot org **A Rare Harlem Gem – Where History Meets Modern Comfort** Welcome to a truly special home—more than just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle of urban ease and peaceful charm. Designed in the 1890s by noted architects Bruce Price and Clarence S. Luce, this Colonial Revival townhome sits in the heart of Harlem’s historic St. Nicholas Landmark District. If you value real character over staged flash, this home is for you. As a lifelong New Yorker with 35+ years of buying and selling experience, I’m selling directly—no agents involved. Serious buyers without agents are prioritized, and the price reflects savings for both of us. A solid real estate attorney is all you need for a smooth deal. ### **Highlights You'll Love:** * **Gated driveway + 2-car garage**—rare in Manhattan * **5 restored wood-burning fireplaces** * **Private landscaped terrace** perfect for relaxing or entertaining * **Natural light + high ceilings** throughout * **Flexible layout** ideal for families, guests, or home offices ### **Main Residence (Triplex):** * **Spacious Master Suite** with walk-through closet, jetted tub, marble vanity, and fireplace * **Two extra large bedrooms** with walk-ins closets, connected by spa-like bath with marble double vanity and walk-in shower * **Bonus room** for nursery or office * **Skylights + high ceilings** bring in light and space ### **Separate In-Law Apartment:** * Full-floor unit with its own kitchen, bath, and two fireplaces—ideal for guests, rental, or Airbnb ### **Elegant Living Spaces:** * **Parlor floor** with grand living room, Juliet balcony, and restored original fireplace * **Formal dining** with antique chandeliers and French doors to the terrace * **Powder room** with onyx flooring ### **Gourmet Kitchen:** * Professional 6-burner gas stove, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and rare Italian granite countertops **Private showings by appointment only with proof of funds.** This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Harlem history with unmatched style and potential.
