Hello,
I hope you're having a great day! I have a spacious queen-sized bedroom available for immediate move-in. The room is located within our beautiful Harlem triplex, which features private balconies and ample outdoor space.

This 4 bedroom Triplex, in the heart Harlem, consists of over 3700 square feet of living space including over 1000 square feet of outdoor space in the form of 2 terraces, a roof deck and 2 balconies. A total of 5 private outdoor spaces.

Washer & Dryer in unit.

This 4 story unit features four very large bedrooms and 3 baths. There is an open, airy floor plan on the first floor of the unit that includes a gourmet kitchen, dining area and a great common area. There is tiger bamboo flooring throughout the unit as well as porcelain flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. There is a bonus mezzanine level with a kitchenette. This unit is large enough for a business-residential arrangement.

Conveniently located between the 2,3 and the B,C trains. This home is surrounded by many new restaurants on Frederick Douglas and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.

If your commute is near the A/D or B/C subway lines, or if you prefer a quick six-minute walk to the 2/3 lines, this location is incredibly convenient. We're centrally situated, just two stops or a 12-minute ride from Times Square.

The room is available either furnished or unfurnished. I will be at home today showing the space, so please feel free to let me know if you'd like to schedule a time to view it.

Best of luck with your search, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you in advance!
