This one-of-a-kind brownstone in Harlem's iconic Mount Morris Park Historic District isn't just a residence; it's a work of art crafted by the legendary architect John Hauser, whose influence on the Renaissance Revival style remains unparalleled. Built around 1900, this landmarked masterpiece unfolds over four grand stories, with an expansive footprint of approximately 5,600 square feet. Its 20 foot wide facade, paired with Hauser's distinctive extensions at the front and back, create an impressive sense of space and elegance that is rarely found. Every inch of this architectural gem reflects Hauser's signature attention to detail, where timeless design meets historic charm. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a seamless blend of original craftsmanship and modern updates, with intricate millwork, gleaming hardwood floors, and exquisite moldings that tell a story of a bygone era. The ornate fireplaces with custom-carved mantles serve as captivating focal points, while exposed brick walls and sunlit rooms evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication throughout. The outdoor spaces are just as remarkable, with a serene patio and a lush, landscaped garden that invite you to unwind in your own private oasis. Imagine al fresco dinners under the stars or morning coffee surrounded by greenery-right in the heart of the city. This property offers unparalleled flexibility.
