Your own private Harlem hideaway. A quiet dreamy oasis for your busy New York stay. Enjoy life in an 1895 brownstone in one of the city's most charming historic neighborhoods. NOTE: This is just one of four unique units in the building. We also have Garden Apartment, Parlor Apartment and Guest Room.
The Harlem Hideaway Studio is a fully furnished studio apartment. It is on the 1st floor of a landmarked private brownstone townhouse in the coveted Mount Morris Historic District in Harlem.
The all-white interior with 12' ceilings and a view of a tree filled leafy garden will instantly put you in a peaceful mood.
Enter from the front stoop through the ornate carved wood entry arch and you will feel like you have just stepped back 100 years in time. All original oak details show the charm of gently worn history. Go straight ahead to your own apartment through the 10' entry door.
This Studio Apartment is very special from the time you open the door. The 12' ceilings create a special ambience and all-white room direct you to look out at the beauty of the peaceful private nicely landscaped leafy back garden to which you have full access. Since it is in the back of the building you hear no street noise.
The apartment is furnished with high end furniture, such as an original leather Corbusier sofa and raw steel full length mirror, a queen size bed (memory foam mattress) and bed stands. Also a 42'' smart flat screen mounted TV pivots out for viewing anywhere in the apartment. The bed area is carpeted for a more lush intimate feeling. The radio/iPod player holds an iPod filled with Harlem Hideaway playlist of jazz and blues. Books of New York and Harlem are provided, as well as current issues of Time Out Magazine to let you know what is currently happening in the city.
There is a large closet and plenty of extra overhead storage to hide that suitcase and other items.
The kitchen has recently been renovated and includes gas top burners, convection/microwave, toaster, coffee maker, stainless bottom freezer refrigerator and is stocked with coffee and tea. Pullout drawers for trash/recycling. The kitchen cabinets go all the way to the ceiling for any extra storage you may need. The refrigerator has a filtered water pitcher. Eat beneath the huge oversized pendant light next to the original massive black and white blow-up from a vintage science book.
Check out the quirky items in the metal glass display case and you may laugh. Linens, towels, iron/board are provided, as well as lending umbrellas.
