124 West 131st Street A Landmark Brownstone, Masterfully Reimagined Welcome to 124 West 131st Street, a rare and remarkable offering in the heart of vibrant Central Harlem. This iconic, late-1800s landmarked brownstone has been masterfully restored on the exterior and completely reimagined inside as a luxurious single-family residence. Behind its striking, landmarked brownstone facade lies a residence that honors its historic roots while delivering every contemporary comfort. Spanning four expansive floors plus a cellar, this 4,688 SF residence (3,750 SF above grade) blends thoughtful layout with meticulous design. The garden level offers a warm and inviting guest suite, a dedicated laundry room, and a flexible entertainment space. Below, a full sub-cellar is primed for a wine room, gym, or recreation. The parlor floor stuns with soaring ceilings, Marvin custom windows, and rich herringbone flooring. A chef's kitchen anchors the level-equipped with top-tier appliances, elegant custom cabinetry, and sophisticated stone surfaces-all opening onto a private garden. A sleek powder room is thoughtfully tucked away to enhance flow and function. The entire second level is devoted to the primary suite, which includes a serene bedroom, a spa-quality bath with a dramatic double steam shower and restored clawfoot tub, and an oversized walk-through dressing room. The top floor offers two additional bedrooms-each with its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet-plus a flexible bonus room, ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or extra guests. Whether for quiet mornings or dynamic household needs, this floor offers both privacy and versatility. Throughout the home, no detail has been overlooked. An authentic Finnish sauna provides a daily wellness escape. Spray foam insulation has been applied throughout for superior sound and temperature control. A full sprinkler system adds peace of mind. These enhancements speak not just to quality, but to the integrity of the overall renovation. This home also offers future expansion potential: there are nearly 3,000 SF of unused air rights, and the layout was intentionally designed to allow for a future staircase (beneath the current skylight) should a roof deck or upper-level addition ever be desired. NOTE ON PROPERTY TAX: Previously classified as a multi-unit rental, the property has been legally restored as a single-family residence. This change qualifies it for Tax Class 1, which generally offers lower property taxes and capped annual increases. For the buyer, this means greater long-term tax predictability, stability, and savings.

Thoughtfully executed, boldly beautiful, and ready for its next chapter-124 West 131st Street is not just a home, it's a piece of New York history, redefined for modern life.
