145 W 126th Street

145 W 126th St is an elegantly restored Harlem brownstone that offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern grandeur. This exquisite fifteen foot wide two-family townhouse was originally built in 1910 and has been redesigned and meticulously renovated. Sitting on a 100’ lot with a 400 sq ft garden, and featuring five stories in total, this splendid home is on a quiet, tree-lined brownstone block in the heart of the vibrant and historic Harlem neighborhood, close to shopping and public transportation. The original details have been diligently restored throughout, including the mahogany staircase and doors, shutters, and wainscoting. Brick walls have been exposed throughout and the large updated insulated windows feature custom mahogany sills. The parlor, third, and fourth levels are a bright and spacious owner’s triplex, while the garden and lower levels are a two bedroom rental property (with separate entrance) that generates significant monthly income. Both share the large and peaceful back garden.
