206 Lenox Ave #GARDEN

Over the course of the past year, 206 Lenox Avenue has undergone an extensive renovation and restoration resulting in one of the finest townhouses in the Mount Morris Park Historic District. Outside, this historic Second Empire-style townhouse stands out with its slate mansard roof, high box stoop, and ornate facade. On the inside, the historic preservation-forward design/build firm Smart Design has masterfully fashioned two spacious and luxurious apartments that celebrate historic interior features within a modern reconfiguration. Spanning approximately 2,500 square feet across two stories of interior and exterior space, the garden apartment is being offered for rent for the first time since its metamorphosis. Entered below the stoop, a tiled entry foyer provides a welcoming arrival space, leading to the central hall of the apartment with a coat closet. The main floor of this spacious duplex includes a large central kitchen with a five burner induction range, and a suite of paneled appliances including dishwasher and a large refrigerator. A classical and contemporary blend is achieved with white shaker cabinets and marble countertops. Adjacent the kitchen is one of the two or three living areas offered. This corner room could serve as a nice formal dining area, or a casual space adjacent the kitchen, which faces north and east into townhouse gardens. Also on the main floor are two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with an en-suite four-fixture bathroom and a second bedroom and bathroom towards the rear of the unit. The lower level of the duplex is comprised mostly of living space, including a large central area, which connects to a second living area or extra sleeping room adjacent the garden. On this level, there is access to the rear yard, and a third full bathroom. A full laundry room with a vented dryer and sink/counter/storage is an added bonus feature to help keep organized. 206 Lenox Avenue is located just off West 120th Street; one block from Marcus Garvey Park and 10 blocks from Central Park, where the new Davis Center at the Harlem Meer is now open. Nearby Transit includes the 116th Stations for either the 2/3 trains (on Lenox Avenue) or the B/C trains (on Frederick Douglass Blvd). Please note some photos have been virtually staged. This is a convertible 3-bedroom apartment, with the option to have a third sleeping area designated on the lower level.
