If you’ve been imagining the benefits of townhouse living in the city, but the words “renovation” and “restoration” aren’t on your wish list, this turnkey brownstone at 237 West 120th Street may be just right. Asking $4 million, this thoroughly renovated four-bedroom townhouse with a landscaped rear garden and a second-floor terrace is an opportunity to settle in and enjoy life without a contractor in sight. You won’t have to live with some developer’s idea of high-end: Contemporary style choices and considered design set the tone.
Behind the classic brownstone facade lies a modern volume with high ceilings and four levels of floor-to-ceiling glass, anchored by a staircase of steel and reclaimed oak. Twenty-first-century necessities like central air, Nest thermostats, Lutron shades and lighting, multi-zone sound, smart-home technology, video security, and keyless entry are already in place.
On the parlor floor, a custom Gaggenau kitchen is anchored by an oversized island. Just beyond is a dining area overlooking the garden (with garden access) through a wall of steel-framed glass. Also on this floor are a home office space, pantry, and powder room.
Down on the home’s garden level, you’ll find a bedroom and full bath, perfect for use as a guest room. There’s also a library, media room, and bar. Step out into the landscaped private garden designed by Evan Lai. This multi-level outdoor oasis offers lounge and dining areas and a grill.
The home’s second and third floors hold a luxurious primary suite with access to a private terrace, a family room, a laundry room, a lounge, and additional bedrooms. At the lowest level, a finished cellar offers plenty of storage and recreation space.
Built in 1910, this historic home adds up to 3,910 square feet of living space, without the need to live in the past. The Harlem location is steps from Central Park, Morningside Park, Marcus Garvey Park, and the neighborhood’s bounty of restaurants and cultural destinations.
