Welcome to East Harlem's most unique and expansive townhouse rental -a fully renovated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offering over 4,500 square feet of impeccably designed living space, along with a 1,300-square-foot private roof deck and an optional 1,600-square-foot garage that can serve as private parking, storage, or a flexible recreational space. This home is a rare blend of scale, privacy, and design. The main level features a gracious, open layout, ideal for comfortable day-to-day living. Anchored by a striking black marble fireplace, the sun-drenched living area flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen, which includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf cooktop with a vented hood, a Miele dishwasher, a Caesarstone island, and sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry. Every finish and fixture has been carefully curated, elevating form and function. Upstairs, the primary suite is truly a must-see. It includes a spa-like en-suite bathroom complete with a deep soaking tub, glass-enclosed rain shower, and custom double vanity. A second bedroom on this level is bathed in natural light and works beautifully as a home office, nursery, or guest room. Downstairs, the third bedroom and second full bath offer even more flexibility. This level also provides direct access to the oversized garage, which features 11-foot ceilings, six windows, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Whether used as a workshop, fitness studio, or creative space, this garage presents endless possibilities. Throughout the home, you'll find premium upgrades designed to enhance comfort and security, including a built-in Boss surround sound system on every floor, motion-activated security cameras, intercom system, smartphone docking stations in each room, and an electronic skylight that fills the space with natural light. Available unfurnished and move-in ready, this home offers the space, elegance, and privacy of a suburban estate-right here in the heart of the city. Pets considered on a case-by-case basis.
