1989 Madison Avenue "Originally built circa 1925, this meticulously reimagined 19-foot-wide two-family townhouse with 5 flex 7-bedrooms, 4-baths combines sophisticated design, income potential, and flexible living. The home will be delivered vacant, offering an end-user the flexibility to either maintain it as a two-family residence or effortlessly convert it into a single-family home by simply removing a door. The garden duplex has historically generated $6, 995 per month in rental income, while the top duplex is estimated to rent for $8, 000 per month, offering meaningful potential to offset carrying costs. Aptly described as having a Scandinavian farmhouse aesthetic and even featured on the cover of Swedish Elle D cor the interiors showcase hand-stenciled walls, original tin ceilings, charming exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and herringbone floors blending clean Scandinavian lines with warm, inviting charm. The comfort of central A/C and the convenience of washers and dryers in both units complete this carefully curated home. Current Two-Family Configuration: Unit 1 is a 2 flex 3-bedroom, 2-bath duplex featuring soaring 11'8"" ceilings, a working wood-burning fireplace, a private balcony off the primary bedroom, and access to the private patio on the garden level offering the perfect space for barbecues or intimate gatherings. The home boasts a chef s kitchen with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, double ovens, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom features gorgeous marble finishes and double sinks, while the primary bedroom includes a massive walk-in closet with custom built-ins. This unit also provides access to the basement, which includes three storage units, a washer and dryer, and an open area perfect for a gym or playroom. Unit 2 is a 3 flex 4-bedroom, 2-bath upper duplex that beautifully blends turn-of-the-century architecture with modern luxury. Highlights include 10-foot high original tin ceilings, original fireplaces, oversized windows framing treetop views, skylights, and gorgeous herringbone floors. The space feels like living inside a design magazine (because it was!). The open chef s kitchen features custom cabinetry with textured wire glass doors offering unbelievable storage all the way to the ceiling, elegant marble countertops, and a Bertazzoni professional range for the most discerning chef. The current owner is a professional chef and both kitchens were defining features that immediately drew him to the home. The primary bedroom offers serene garden views and an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins, creating the ultimate private retreat. The oversized primary bathroom is equally impressive, featuring an inviting deep soaking tub and a vintage-style clawfoot double sink. As an owner here, you ll enjoy convenient access to nearby Whole Foods, Trader Joe s, and Target. Central Harlem has quietly become one of Manhattan s most exciting dining destinations, offering everything from beloved legacy institutions to chef-driven hotspots. Iconic restaurants such as Sylvia s and Red Rooster anchor the neighborhood with nationally recognized dining. The home is also moments from some of Harlem s most iconic cultural landmarks, including the Apollo Theater and the newly reopened Studio Museum in Harlem. Ideally situated between the 2/3 and 4/5/6 subway lines, providing seamless access throughout Manhattan, and is also near Metro-North for easy upstate getaways."
