265 W 139th St, New York, NY 10030

265 West 139th Street is a rare architectural offering-designed by Stanford White in 1893 and remarkably preserved, restored, and future-proofed over its 13 decades. This five-bedroom townhouse blends 19th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century upgrades: zoned central HVAC, radiant-heated bathrooms, CitiQuiet windows, and a private gated carport with a second parking space accessed via Strivers Rows famed residents-only alley. Once home to Bob Dylan, the residence links 132 years of cultural and architectural history to the present, on one of Harlems most significant blocks.nnWhites design replaces the typical stoop with a dignified, at-grade entry, set behind a landscaped forecourt. A wood-paneled vestibule with original tilework opens to a 19-foot-wide living salon, leading to a large eat-in kitchen, powder room, and beyond to the terrace and private parking. Period moldings, restored hardwood floors, and two staircases-an elegant front stair and a switchback rear stair to the butlers pantry-anchor the homes scale and function.nnThe expansive kitchen is appointed for serious use, with appliances by Gaggenau (steam oven, gas cooktop, vented hood, electric oven, dishwasher), Sub-Zero (refrigerator, wine fridge), and Panasonic (touch-open microwave). Lovingly restored wavy-glass cabinetry frames a generous eat-in area with excellent light and flow.nnRebuilt with durable decking and integrated lighting, the rear terrace offers a private setting for outdoor dining and entertain
