309 East 108th St. 5A

Your urban sanctuary awaits you in East Harlem. Magnolia Mansion Condo, originally constructed as a schoolhouse in 1889, is now home to 33 duplex apartments, each with its own unique flow and flair.

Apartment 5A is a 2BR/2BA residence spanning some 1420 square feet. A spacious bonus room offers itself as a home office or guest room. Lofted bedrooms upstairs overlook the grand living room below through Japanese-style sliding doors, creating a charmed indoor-outdoor ambiance that may remind you of a German beer garden. The living room is marked by its dramatic 14-foot vaulted ceilings and oversized windows. The open kitchen has a vast expanse of Carrera marble countertop, and full-sized, stainless steel appliances (including a washer/dryer). Each floor has its own spacious, spa-inspired, updated bath.

This one-of-a-kind apartment – which conspires to be at once open and airy, and tucked-in cozy – is an ideal habitat for New Yorkers living and working in the same space much or all of the time. With springtime approaching, you will also enjoy the fresh air of the giant communal backyard, complete with tables and benches and multiple grills – it’s a great place to pop out to take a phone call, enjoy a meal, or just refresh your eyes for a while.

Convenient to the 6 train on Lexington, Thomas Jefferson Park, and local favorite eateries such as Ricardo Steakhouse, Cascalote Latin Bistro and Dear Mama Cafe, the cat-friendly Magnolia Mansion offers video intercom service, live-in super, rooftop access.
