Welcome to the Parlor Duplex at 38 West 119th Street, a true gem nestled in the vibrant South Harlem community. This brownstone has been lovingly cared for by the current owner since 2006. This unit offers the benefits of brownstone charm, modern updates (including brand-new appliances), and an owner who has truly taken care of the home.
As you enter the Parlor floor, you're greeted by 10-foot ceilings in the living and dining area. Recessed lights and ceiling fans offer the best of both worlds, combining light and comfort. There is room for a home office with a table in the dining area or a large table easy for entertaining. The back deck off the parlor floor faces south- a dream for plant lovers. An updated half bath is on the parlor floor for convenience as well.
On the lower level, find two spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Both bedrooms can easily accommodate king-sized beds and feature two closets. More storage and a linen closet is found on the primary. Classic hardwood floors are maintained throughout the apartment.
The yard has a deck for outdoor dining and foliage. The unit is pet-friendly, and the backyard off the primary makes convenient access for pet owners.
In the basement, there is a brand-new washer/dryer combination unit. (The owner prefers a vented dryer over a non-vented dryer because of the larger capacity.)
38 West 119th Street is a short 3 blocks from the 2, 3 subway stop at 116th Street. The building is located just two blocks from Marcus Garvey Park and nine blocks from Central Park. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target are 6 blocks north at 125th Street.
