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.
Enter from the front entry through the ornate carved wood entry arch and you will feel like you have just stepped back 100 years in time. All original oak details show the charm of gently worn history. Directly to the right is your own apartment, through the 10′ entry door.
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. As well, every week you’ll get a copy of Time Out New York to let you know what’s going on in the City. 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.
