This one of a kind, majestic, single family townhouse has been renovated and decorated to perfection. All of the elegance and grandeur of the original details have been restored and further enhanced by incorporating the modern comforts of today?s lifestyle. Built in 1920, this Italianate style, 19 foot wide home, underwent a high-end, gut renovation in 2008, where no expense was spared. The current owners improved the home even further by restoring the fa?ade and the original hand carved, wooden, entry doors. They elevated the interior design, with the help of Harlem-based renowned designer, Sheila Bridges. The irrigated garden was designed by Devore Associates and has been supplemented and maintained by the leading NYC landscape architect, Roger Miller. The scale of the home and each room is truly impressive. This resplendent brownstone is located in the highly desirable, landmarked Mount Morris Park neighborhood.

Parlor Level: The dramatic parlor floor has soaring eleven foot ceilings and rich original details including: pocket doors, stained glass windows and two original mantels. A stunning hand carved Mahogany staircase runs throughout the home and the wood floors are all beautifully maintained. The living room fireplace is gas burning while the remaining fireplaces throughout the home are decorative. The large, spacious kitchen boasts Cesar cabinets and an island with a flamed stone countertop imported from Italy. There are two Miele ovens and a built in Miele coffee system. The dishwasher and refrigerator are also Miele, while the cooktop is Gagganeu. Twelve foot, shuttered bay windows, in a graceful semi-circle, lead out onto the deck with a staircase to the garden.
