Elegant Uptown Historic District Garden Suite.
Your pied a terre on Sugar Hill in the Jumel Terrace Historic District. A rare bookshop, open only by appointment, the garden suite resounds with Harlem Heights' history from the Founding Fathers thru the Founding Brothers to our vibrant now. Think privacy, quiet, autonomy, a garden in bloom and a readily available host/concierge/bookseller who lives and works within the premises.
The space:
You'll be the only guests of this owner occupied, self contained yet attached garden suite/bookshop directly across the street from the Morris-Jumel Mansion, George Washington’s headquarters for 1776′s Battle of Harlem Heights and home to the infamous grand horizontal, Madame Jumel. At the time Duke Ellington dubbed the house “The Crown of Sugar Hill,” the immediate neighborhood was also home to Joe Louis, W.E.B. DuBois, Paul Robeson, Count Basie, Lena Horne, Coleman Hawkins, Mary Lou Williams, Thurgood Marshall, and dozens of other Jazz Masters and Civil Rights heroes.
The guest suite features a private entrance, full kitchen and bath (shower), a common room on the garden with trundle/day bed (Charles Rogers), a large bedroom with an antique full-sized bed, and the second larger bookshop/bedroom with an opulent queen size 19th century French brass bed. We pride ourselves on the quality of our mattresses. All bedding has high thread counts linens, is hypo-allergenic and protected. Know that during your stay appointments with the shop, specializing in our local history, African and American, will not be taken, ensuring your privacy
The full kitchen features coffee/tea facilities, the Lamborghini of Italian stoves, with convection oven, and welcome food supplies (fresh gourmet coffee, fresh fruit),
Rooms are furnished in a comfortable, eclectic mix with bookish comforts. There's abundant seating, two desks, two round tables, cable television, a record player, a tape deck, Harlem-centric record and tape libraries, a large bookshop library on local history, African & American, internet access, and a full ornamental garden with a grill. Wine and dine al fresco on Sunday afternoons as the sounds of Marjorie Elliot’s Parlor Jazz waif from her near by apartment.
Enjoy local museums, entertainments and Sugar Hill cuisine, old New York charms, and easy transportation (subways and buses within two blocks, car services readily available.)
On premises: library conference rooms, parlor and garden party rentals, computer, internet service, laundry service, cable television, record, & mp3 players. There is a parlor floor gallery and dining room and a large large library suitable for meetings, lectures, photo shoots, and exhibitions. Inquire for costs.
The house’s photo shoot, conference and party facilities rates are available on inquiry.
Guest access:
Street parking, nearby indoor lots, subway (3 min. walk), bus (2 min. walk). Groceries, pharmacies, liquor stores, dry cleaners, a public library as close. Taxis and cars for hire usually within 3 minutes.
Within walking distance: Harlem, Trinity Cemetery, Audubon Terrace with the Hispanic Society and the Society of Arts and Letters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's medieval collections at the Cloisters, Rucker's Park, home to the greatest street basketball in the world, the Victorian walking bridge from Washington Heights to the Bronx. Dominican, Jamaican, Mexican, Columbian and Shanghai cuisines, coffee shops and NY Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Short subway and bus rides to City College and Columbia University.
Other things to note.
Pets considered. Smoking permitted in the garden.
During your stay.
Your hosts are available at all hours to assist with anything you need, from directions to history lessons. There is housekeeping service. While doubling as a bookshop, is arguably the privatest and quietest guest suite in New York City and wholly fills the most exacting legals criteria, well insured and equipped with a state of the art home security system that ensures safety.
Shared spaces include a hallway leading to the cellar and garden. Your host, who lives and works on the premises full time, a lifelong now semi-retired bookseller, may on occasion request access to his stock during your stay. Fully compliant with NYC short term rental laws.

Om værten
Vært: Kurt Thometz
Born in mid-century/state Minnesota, a New Yorker for 50 years, a rare book dealer and private librarian for longer, the author/editor of "Life Turns Man Up and Down: High Life, Useful Advice and Mad English" (Pantheon, 2001), a selection from my collection of African street literature, and a 5 star host for 15 years, I enjoy reading. My wife, the couturier, Camilla Huey and I enjoy entertaining. She is from Covington, Louisiana and Memphis, Tennessee, which is to say she knows about these things.

If serendipity brought us here, the neighborhood's historical importance and its Olde World charms have kept us here. The New York Times credited me with knowing more about Uptown than the sum of all my books but I don't believe all that much of what I read in the Times.
It may represent a lot of New York but not particularly here. 90% of New Yorkers don't seem to know our conveniently placed wrinkle in time exists, despite. Our well kept secret is are across the street from the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan's oldest residence, where Hamilton met his match in Burr, the subject matter of which is reflected in our 15,000 book libraries, which locally start with the native Lenape and represent through our being Harlem Heights in the 18th century, Washington Heights in the 19th and Sugar Hill in the 20th.
Guests remark on feeling they've stepped out of the present back into the Jazz Age. The subjects of the 4000+ books and records you'll be staying amidst revolve around that Local History.
Jim Dwyer, a local writer for the New York Times, wrote about how the neighborhood chose us in 'Making a Home, and a Haven for Books.' As a young bookseller I apprenticed with an infamous antiquarian from the neighborhood so I suppose it was likely I'd end up here. We have no rich people and no hipsters but we still have some beatniks.

The house itself, which has been the set of several Gucci ads, Amanda Gorman, Tiana Taylor, Remy Ma and Jessica Chastain glamour shoots/videos and the Aloe Blacc song, 'I Need a Dollar,' my song.
On the way to the subway you can pass New York Public Library, the laundry, the grocery, the pharmacy, the liquor store, Chinese and pizza, or you can walk the scenic route across Belgium block streets then left at the park and museum's entrance onto the enchanted block, Sylvan Terrace, 1882, uniform little yellow wooden cottages, so you'll think you're in Charleston or Savanah, then down stone stairs to the same destinations. Maurice Sendak lived there. It was Bobby Short's favorite place in New York after the Carlyle, 45 minutes by the M-2 from our near corner, one-minute, as is the Museo de Bario, Museum of the City of New York, the Cooper-Hewet, the Guggenheim, the Nuer Museum, the Metropolitan and the Frick. The Studio Museum is even closer, as are the New York Historical Society, the Museum of Natural History, MoMA and Barney Greengrass. Time Square is half an hour.
