Full-Floor Top-Floor 1BR in Historic Lenox Avenue Brownstone | No Fee | Approx. 850 SF
NO BROKER FEE
Rarely available, oversized one-bedroom occupying the top floor of a historic Lenox Avenue brownstone near 122nd Street. With large rooms at both the front and rear of the building, high ceilings, hardwood floors, six tall windows and a decorative fireplace, the apartment offers considerably more space than the typical Manhattan one-bedroom.
The large living and dining room has three tall windows overlooking Lenox Avenue and receives direct morning light. There is ample room for separate living, dining and work areas, with a decorative fireplace and an open archway providing a view into the separate kitchen.
At the quieter rear of the apartment, the exceptionally large bedroom overlooks trees and gardens and receives afternoon light through another three tall windows. It easily accommodates a king-size bed with substantial additional furniture and includes a large double-door closet. The room is also large enough to incorporate a separate home-office or sitting area.
The separate kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, a full-size refrigerator, a new gas range with air-fryer function, a large microwave, generous cabinet storage and good counter space. An open archway connects the kitchen visually with the living room while keeping the two spaces distinct.
The tiled bathroom includes a bathtub and shower and a full-height storage closet with shelving.
Additional amenities include a brand-new washer and dryer in the basement laundry area and full access to the planted front courtyard, filled with sunflowers and other seasonal plantings during the warmer months.
The location combines residential brownstone living with excellent access to Central Harlem. The 2/3 subway at 125th Street is approximately three blocks away, with the M7 and M102 nearby. Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Target, Red Rooster and numerous restaurants, cafes and neighborhood shops are all within easy walking distance. Marcus Garvey Park is also nearby, with convenient connections to Metro-North and additional subway lines at 125th Street.
Available for a 12-month lease. Showings by appointment.
