About this property
Historic Duplex on Stivers Row, West 138th St. in Harlem, Min 29 night stay
Located on West 138th Street on Striver's Row in one of West Harlem's most historic and iconic blocks, you will enjoy this beautifully custom architectural designed townhouse suitable for up to ten guests. This townhouse has received a full gut renovation taking into account the original details which have been restored and finished/ furnished with a modern-contemporary interior design. Our home is without a doubt the perfect vacation home if you are looking for a luxurious, convenient, and easily accessible location. Spacious and comfortable short or long term visit.
Our home features its own private entrance on the ground level of the townhouse. The owner lives in the top portion of the townhouse which is separated by a locked door located in the stairway, giving any guest their own privacy throughout their entire stay. There are a total of four queen size beds and one full size bed accommodating up to ten guests. Please note: Each bed is a pull out sofa but extremely comfortable and thick-style mattress pad to allow the maximum amount of comfort-ability. Bed sheets, towels and pillows are included within every reservation.
As you enter the home and open the front door you will be greeted by the living room which is where the first two queen sized sofa beds are located along with a wall-hung TV with cable. Exiting the living room area you will enter the main hallway which allows access to a full bathroom with standing shower, large eat-in chef's kitchen and custom architectural staircase allowing entry to the second lower level of this duplex. This home allows access to two full floors.
The large eat-in chef's kitchen accommodates all ten guests with plenty of silverware and glasses for each individual. The kitchen has a full stock of pots and pans, plates and bowls, coffee maker and wine cooler in the office area.
Exiting the kitchen in the northern portion of this home, you will find the laundry room with a washer/dryer and the entrance to the outdoor patio designed with modern/contemporary furniture and plants alongside a beautiful custom tall wooden fence decorated with festive lights. This would be your designated smoking area or just a nice place to hang out and enjoy some fresh air.
Once you enter the lower floor you will find a common living space with wall hung tv and a queen size sofa bed. In this area you can also find the office area with the wine cooler and the second bathroom which is another full bathroom with a standing shower. There is free wifi throughout the entire home. Standing in the middle of the common space in the lower level you can find a room on either side both with closets, wall hung tv's and one room equipped with a full size pull out sofa bed and another with a queen size sofa bed.
We are always just a phone call or text away in the event of assistance or questions/concerns should any occur.
Harlem is long known for its intimate jazz clubs, soul food institutions and traditional heritage, Harlem draws a diverse crowd of locals and visitors. Trendy eateries, stylish clubs and hip bars make for an energetic nightlife scene. The area features a mix of 19th-century brownstones and modern high-rises. Its main artery, 125th Street, is home to the iconic Apollo Theater, as well as chain stores and restaurants.
This home is very close to the 2/3 subway as well as access to the 4/5/6 and A/C B/D and easy transportation to central park.
Our home is an enormous space and worth every penny if you are looking for a clean beautiful space.
We will have one of our co-hosts check you in and get you settled but then you have the entire Duplex to yourself :)
