A historic Renaissance Revival townhouse on Harlem's Strivers' Row, once owned by Bob Dylan, has sold for $2.8 million. This four-storey residence, built in 1893 by McKim, Mead & White, was home to the iconic singer-songwriter from 1986 until 2000. It remained on the market for nearly a year, initially listed for $3 million before settling on the final sale price.
The property, spanning 4,500 square feet, is situated on a block renowned for its architectural significance. The townhouse was purchased in 2018 for $3.17 million by Isam Salah and Elaina Richardson, who undertook significant renovations. They integrated modern amenities like radiant heating, central HVAC, and soundproof windows while carefully preserving original features such as woodwork, moldings, and Palladian windows.
Notable features include a 50-foot-long parlor floor with 10-foot ceilings, a renovated kitchen with premium appliances, and a rebuilt rear terrace. The residence offers five bedrooms, including a master suite with a view of 139th Street, and benefits from the rare Manhattan convenience of a private carport and garage. The sale reflects continued demand for unique historical properties.
