5 bedroom apartment for rent in Harlem, New York

Monthly Rent of: $10,950

On a quiet, tree-lined street a short stroll from central Harlem, New York, this beautiful family townhouse is available to rent.

Comprising multiple spacious living areas, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms, it's a magnificent property offering space and splendour that would make an ideal family home on one of the most popular streets in Harlem.

Demand for rental property in New York City has continued to soar over the past 12 months. The city topped Knight Frank’s Prime Global Rental Index in Q3 2022 for the third consecutive quarter as its post-pandemic recovery has seen a surge of new leases accelerating rents and depleting stock.

Outside, the property has all the hallmarks of a traditional Harlem brownstone. Its quintessential stoop, wrought iron railings and elegant entrance vestibule with statement chandelier evoke the neighbourhood’s rich history.

The townhouse's location benefits from close proximity to the historic ‘Striver’s Row’ district and amenities including St Nicholas Park, the iconic Apollo Theatre and access to major subways for quick access to central Manhatten.

Inside, the home, which comes fully furnished, has been designed to exacting standards. Oak herringbone floors and exposed brick blend seamlessly with sleek design flourishes to suit modern family living.  

The front door opens on to a grand hallway with a seating area, leading through to the formal living room with access to a terrace - a lovely spot to unwind with a good book. The terrace has steps leading down to a good-sized garden with enough space for residents to soak up the sun and for the kids to play.  

Downstairs on the garden level, the kitchen and adjoining dining room are decorated with a Quartz Masters countertop and black walnut upper cabinetry. There’s also another living area currently used as a playroom and a bathroom.

On the top floor, the large principal bedroom feels bright and airy thanks to two skylights and large windows that open on to another terrace overlooking the garden. It also benefits from a large en suite that includes a freestanding bath.

With 4 further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office, plus a finished basement with a laundry room, this sizeable brownstone in a serene neighbourhood can be used in a variety of ways.
