A landmarked 1893 Harlem townhouse on Strivers\u2019 Row that was once home to Bob Dylan<\/a> has sold for $2.8 million after nearly a year on the market. The McKim Mead & White-designed residence at 265 West 139th Street<\/a> was occupied by the legendary folk singer from 1986 to 2000, when he sold it for $560,000. The home hit the market for $3.7 million in 2017, as 6sqft previously reported<\/a>, and then for $3 million last July. The five-bedroom home blends 132 years of cultural and architectural history on the iconic tree-lined block with modern upgrades suitable for the 21st-century homeowner.<\/p>\n

Entry to the four-story townhouse begins with a landscaped street-level forecourt. A wood-paneled vestibule with intricate tilework leads into a 19-foot salon with period moldings, restored hardwood floors, and two staircases.<\/p>\n

The salon flows into a large eat-in kitchen with a powder room, with the home\u2019s terrace and private parking, located along Strivers\u2019 Row\u2019s coveted residents-only alley, nearby. The kitchen is well-appointed with premium appliances by Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, and Panasonic, and a nearby dining area with restored hardwood and glass cabinetry offers space for casual meals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Directly off the kitchen is the rear terrace, which has been outfitted with new decking, integrated lighting, and ample space for outdoor entertaining. A garage\u2014another rarity for Manhattan residences\u2014provides an additional private parking space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The parlor floor stretches more than 50 linear feet of connected living and dining space, boasting 10-foot ceilings and original details like pocket doors, decorative fireplaces, and a built-in gallery bench. A butler\u2019s pantry with a wet bar links to the dining room, gallery, and kitchen via a back stair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Palladian window trio on one side of the dining room brings in northern light, while the south-facing living room windows frame views of the distinctive yellow brick and white limestone Colonial Revival homes designed by Clarence Luce and Bruce Price across the street.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The third floor hosts two oversized \u201cco-primary\u201d bedrooms, which share a renovated bath with custom marble, Waterworks fixtures, radiant heated floors, and a walk-in shower illuminated by a rooftop skylight.<\/p>\n

Three more bedrooms are located on the top floor: a full-width room with southern-facing views over 139th Street, and two overlooking the terrace and carport. The top-floor bathroom features a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, also adorned with custom marble and Waterworks fixtures.<\/p>\n

Below ground, a full-height sealed cellar offers laundry facilities, a workbench, and ample open storage. The home\u2019s mechanical systems are also located on this level.<\/p>\n
