Harlem Townhouse on 141st Street

The unique layout and original features of this 4,600 sq ft Harlem townhouse provide a graciously proportioned and elegant space. Originally built in 1906, it was divided up over the years into an SRO before our renovation converted it back to a single-family home. Decades of quick fixes and neglect of upkeep required a full rehaul of mechanical, plumbing and electric throughout. After re-arranging the layouts there are now three full floors of living space and another two floors for bedrooms.

New finishes and fixtures selected are a blend of traditional, vintage-inspired, and contemporary. The checkered marble floor at the entry hall leads to a custom kitchen with walnut accents, brass hardware, and dramatic calacatta viola marble counters. Herringbone wood flooring with a brass border runs through the remainder of the first floor. A modern white metal staircase leads to a new rec room in the basement, and a hidden room on the top floor is an element of surprise.

FF&E was not in scope for this project; however, included are pieces I put together for a few rooms.
