270 Lenox Ave

This beautiful loft style luxury apartment is located in an historic Neo-Grec brownstone built in 1884 by Charles Beer, in the heart of the Mount Morris Park Historic District in Central Harlem. The property was formerly the house of Cora Walker, one of the first black women to practice law in the state of New York, and has a Landmarks plaque on the facade commemorating her life and work. This lovely Parlor apartment has high ceilings and large windows giving a wonderful sense of light and space. It is completely renovated with all new systems, including exposed brick, ebony oak flooring, a decorative fireplace, custom open plan kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and custom maple cabinet, in-unit laundry, a beautiful fully tiled bathroom, custom sliding glass door to the bedroom, a sunny private balcony overlooking the back yard, and a common roof deck with wet bar. This property is perfectly located for shopping, dining and recreation. WholeFoods is directly across the avenue and shopping on 125th St is just a few steps away. The Harlem Shake restaurant is also just across the avenue and Sylvia's, The Corner Social, The Red Rooster and Harlem's Restaurant Row are all within a three block stroll. Entertainment can be found with DJs and live bands at The Corner Social and Red Rooster, plus the Apollo Theater is just a few blocks away. Trains and buses are conveniently located, with the 2/3 express subway just half a block away and the A/B/C/D and 4/5/6 lines and Metro North a short walk from the building. Mount Morris Park is at the end of the block, and Central Park is an easy walk down Lenox Avenue. This is a truly boutique rental at an affordable price!
