From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome home to this stunning six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath townhouse tucked along a picturesque, tree-lined block in Hamilton Heights. Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet across multiple levels, this beautifully proportioned Neo-Federal residence blends timeless architectural character with the comforts of modern living. Step inside to find generously scaled rooms bathed in natural light, soaring ceilings, and elegant period detailing that speaks to the building's storied past as an early-1900s residence built for one of Harlem's most prominent builders. The home offers three separate outdoor spaces, offering wonderful spots for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or a quiet moment outdoors in the city. With six spacious bedrooms and five and a half baths, there is abundant room to spread out, host guests, or set up a home office. The classic brick and limestone facade, ornamental ironwork, and dignified entry portico hint at the craftsmanship found throughout, while the interior offers a flexible layout ready to be tailored to your lifestyle. Ideally situated in the heart of Hamilton Heights, this home places you moments from Riverbank State Park, City College, and some of Harlem's best dining and shopping, with the A, B, C, and D trains just steps away. This is a rare opportunity to lease a substantial, character-filled Hamilton Heights townhouse with the space, light, and outdoor access that few rentals can offer.
