Built in 1888,  this home is located in one of the most sought after locations in Harlem situated on Marcus Garvey Park.  Unlike most townhouses which face north and south towards each other, this house faces east over the park thus allowing for much more light than a north/south facing house. As you ascend through the house, light and views for a townhouse become unprecedented as does the house's scale and dimensions.
