Welcome to 17 West 120th street, one of the only townhomes in Harlem where all your renovation dreams have been completed. This rare two-family 20ft home underwent almost 3 years of remodeling, restoring and is now ready for its new owner. The 4,900 sq ft home is made up of an owner's triplex with a 873 sq foot backyard and a fully gutted one-bedroom rental unit. This special home consists of an owner's triplex with 4 oversized bedrooms, a home office, and 2.5 bathrooms. As you enter the house through the grand restored front doors you will see the brand new stairway with sound dampening and custom replicated spindles to match the original ones from 1909. Through the pocket doors into the dining room where you can host a large dinner party and entertain your guests in this magnificent space. The chef's kitchen which separates the large living and dining room features Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. This floor also includes a half bath for your guests. One flight up you will find your primary bedroom which has new curved molding to match its original design and two oversized closets. The ensuite large bathroom has a water closet, stand-up shower , deep soaking tub and a double sink. This floor also consists of a guest bedroom with a picture frame TV and a separate office. The top level two bedrooms have been separated to incorporate a den area with wall speakers, subwoofer a custom cabinet which encases an automated hidden large screen TV. The sound system is completely controlled by an iPad on this floor. The bathroom has been divided into 3 sections for multiuse. So no more fighting about getting ready in the morning. Two new skylights with electric options for automation have been added to round out this floor. The garden level has been gutted to create a one bedroom floor through apartment with its own washer/dryer. The enormous backyard which has brand lighting and a custom new wood teak fence can be only accessed by the owner's triplex. The lower level (cellar) has been remodeled to include central air/heat, stereo system hook up and pre wired for TV. There are also operable windows and a washer/dryer hook up as well. The utility room has been modified for flooding with a new sump pump and catch basin in front. The house has undergone many updates including a brand new roof, gutters, plumbing/ (water lines), Central Heating/AC installed, water heater, sprinkler system,rear windows, new flooring throughout including stairs, doors, and all new electrical. Every room is pre-wired for wall mounted TV's and the entire house is completely wired with speakers. This is all controlled by a Heos app or from two panels in the house. There is also a surveillance system with monitors throughout the house. This lovely home is just a few steps from Harlem's Restaurant Row and shopping on 125th St, with Whole Foods and the soon to open Trader Joes and Target. Also conveniently close to transportation options including the 2/3 and B/C subway lines and the M2, M7 and M101 bus lines. This landmarked street is home to Grandma's Place toy store and is closed to traffic during the day. Making it one of the only blocks in New York to have an open street without cars. This is an extremely special home. THE HOUSE IS SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!
