Elegantly renovated 2-bedroom apartment to rent in a stately historic brownstone in the best landmark district in the trendy Mott Haven neighborhood. Live on the most gracious block in the city's best borough, where the swells, like Edward Willis of Willis Avenue Bridge fame, sipped champagne and strolled the extra-wide sidewalks in their evening finery more than a century ago.

Elegantly renovated 2-bedroom apartment to rent in a stately historic brownstone in the best landmark district in the trendy Mott Haven neighborhood. Live on the most gracious block in the city's best borough, where the swells, like Edward Willis of Willis Avenue Bridge fame, sipped champagne and strolled the extra-wide sidewalks in their evening finery more than a century ago. Across the street from an original 19th century Carnegie Library. 600 square foot basement--not included in the 1300 sq ft description above-plus garden AND terrace. Exposed brick adds charm and character . Walk 2 minutes to the subway and be in Manhattan in one stop on the 6 line, or bike to Central Park, Harlem or Randall's Island in less than 10 minutes. This is the area where all the artists are flocking to, as they did to SoHo, TriBeCa, Williamsburg, and DUMBO in recent decades. All for a rental price per square foot absurdly inexpensive relative to Brooklyn or Harlem. Be a part of the adventure; be a part of history!
