Townhouses are Hot in Harlem

Two beautiful townhouses have just reached the market this week in the Harlem Landmark District of Striver's Row. Both of these homes have been renovated with the latest technology, top of the line appliances and renovated to the "T". Both have garages, high ceilings, and a additional rental unit.

Buying a townhouse anywhere in Manhattan is a challenge. Homes like this will run 6 - 14 million in other areas of Manhattan. This two Harlem properties listed by Halstead Property Brokers are a steal at $3,499,000 & $4,200,000. If you are looking for something a little more inexpensive, I have seen two other Brownstones in Harlem for only $1,350,000 and $1,750,000 but you will have to gut renovate them. If you are looking to buy a brownstone in Harlem, do it now. Next stop ...The Bronx.

262 WEST 139TH STREET -

Located on the prestigious Strivers' Row, one of the most beautiful blocks in Manhattan, this triple mint two family home is unparalleled. The 17 foot wide townhouse has just been entirely rebuilt transforming it from a shell to a classic beauty. No expense was spared and every detail has been meticulously appointed. This complete "Smart House" allows you to control security, audio, thermostat and lighting from a single touch pad or the internet. The owner's triplex is a luxurious five bedroom, four and a half bath with two terraces and a private garage. The kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry and the finest appliances. The gracious Master suite has everything you could want including a large marble bath with a steam shower, a fireplace and a large private terrace. Any of the remaining four bedrooms can easily be used as a media room or a home office as there is more than sufficient electricity and cable. With its own separate entrance, the garden duplex would make for a top notch rental or an extra special place for guests. Priced at $4,200,000 * description from the Halstead website.
