A
historic Upper Manhattan townhouse, once the home of Bob Dylan, has listed for sale at $3 million. The five-story property, designed by Stanford White in the Renaissance Revival style, boasts a rich history and architectural cachet.
Dylan lived in the 4,500-square-foot residence from 1986 to 2000, immersing himself in Harlem's vibrant jazz and blues scene. The singer-songwriter's connection to the neighborhood inspired many of his works, including "Like a Rolling Stone."
The well-preserved townhouse features original details such as woodburning fireplaces, crown molding, and period moldings. Modern amenities like Gaggenau appliances and heated floors complement its classical charm.
Located on Strivers' Row, a historic district in Harlem, the property offers a unique blend of old-world elegance and modern luxury. The spacious layout includes a 19-foot salon, large eat-in kitchen, and massive parlor floor.
Current owners Isam Salah and Elaina Richardson purchased the townhome for $3.17 million in 2018 but are now selling to focus on their lives upstate. Despite the discounted sale price, they acknowledge that memories created in their home make it difficult to part with. The couple has fondly used an original range stove as a bar and appreciates the property's well-preserved details.
The listing is held by Colin Montgomery and Stan Ponte of Sotheby's International Realty.
