Your own private Harlem hideaway. A quiet dreamy oasis for your busy New York stay. Enjoy life in an 1895 brownstone in one of the city's most charming historic neighborhoods. NOTE: This is just one of four unique units in the building. We also have a Garden Apartment, Studio Apartment and Guest Room.



The Parlor is a fully furnished one bedroom apartment. It is on the 1st floor of a landmarked private brownstone townhouse in the Mount Morris Historic District in the most coveted area of Harlem.



This apartment features 12' ceilings, modern furnishings and professionally designed accents. All lights are on dimmer switches to provide an intimate setting. There is a video buzzer/intercom system for guest entry.



The living room has a 46'' swing-out, wall mounted LED smart flat screen television and DVD player as well as a remote control radio/iPod player with a playlist of blues and jazz. Wireless Internet access is also provided. Original over-sized photographic artwork creates a dramatic focal point. Enjoy sitting in the vintage fully adjustable government-issued dentist chair. The leather sofa folds out to become a super comfortable memory foam queen-size bed, the highest quality available. The well-stocked bookshelf provides eclectic reading. Original built-in shutters fold out for privacy as well as light control. But the huge south facing windows provide an iconic street view under the spreading honey locust tree canopy and it is a beautiful sight to see.



The custom dining table off the kitchen seats 4 and has an adjustable light above it.



The kitchen features stainless steel appliances: large refrigerator with auto ice maker, dishwasher, four burner gas range with oven and a built-in microwave/fan. Also provided are a blender, toaster, coffee maker, dishes and flatware, glassware and mugs, knife set, cooking pots and pans and utensils. There are plenty of cabinets and under-counter lighting. Dishwasher detergent is provided, as well a filtered water pitcher.



The washer and dryer are next to the bathroom. Detergent is provided. The cabinet next to it holds bedding, extra towels, an iron as well as plenty of storage space.



The all white subway tiled bathroom has a vintage claw-foot bathtub with shower option, as well as hamper, hair dryer, exhaust fan, hairspray and room spray in the cabinet. A vintage towel rack with mirror adds charm.



The bedroom is accessible though beautiful sliding pocket doors with intricate original woodwork above. The art deco wood wardrobe has ample size as well as drawers and trouser hangers. Original wood wainscoting and fireplace add charm to the bedroom. The memory foam queen bed features a vintage reading light and is next to the window, providing gentle garden breezes. A variable speed overhead fan adds to the luxury. Shelves hold a small library along with a clock radio/iPod player. The large windows also house original fold-out shutters for privacy, although you will love the view of the beautiful private garden below nestled under sheltering birch trees.



You also have access to the beautifully landscaped shared backyard or you may prefer sitting out on the main stoop out front.
