The Harlem Belle at 304 W 137th Street offers a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated townhome that beautifully blends timeless elegance with modern luxury.
Spanning four stories, this exquisite residence features an expansive owner’s triplex with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, along with a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath garden-level apartment—perfect for rental income or guest accommodations. Every inch of The Harlem Belle has been thoughtfully curated to showcase superior craftsmanship and elevated design. Vintage touches, such as a 1940s–1950s crystal chandelier and late-1920s brass sconces, add warmth and character, while restored original details preserve the home’s storied charm.
Parlor Level The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, designed for both function and flair. The back wall has been completely reimagined to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. A fully retractable accordion-style glass door opens onto a private deck, allowing natural light to flood the space and offering effortless flow for al fresco dining and entertaining. The kitchen itself boasts a Calacatta Viola honed Italian marble countertop, walnut veneer cabinetry, and unlacquered brass fixtures, creating a refined and contemporary finish.
2nd Level Located on the second level, the primary suite is a spacious and serene retreat. A Juliet balcony overlooks the back garden, flooding in light and fresh air. The suite also features a fully customized walk-in closet with built-in organization, offering elegant, boutique-style storage that blends form and function seamlessly.
Just down the hall, a cozy and versatile bedroom lends itself beautifully to use as a home office, nursery, or guest space—tailored to meet the evolving needs of city living.
The ensuite bathroom completes the sanctuary with timeless, luxurious design. A modern interpretation of the classic clawfoot tub sets a sculptural centerpiece, complemented by a spacious walk-in rain shower wrapped in porcelain tile. Outfitted with Kallista fixtures, the space evokes a calming, spa-like atmosphere ideal for daily indulgence.
3rd Level The third level completes the home’s generous layouts with two comfortable, light-filled bedrooms, each offering plenty of space for rest, work, or play. This floor also includes two full bathrooms and a laundry room, showcasing the home’s consistent use of refined materials.
