218 W 137th St

Three-bedroom in Harlem, $3,800/month ($1,266 per person)

If you’ve got a large supply of books that you’re not quite ready to sell at the Strand, then this is the perfect space for you. In addition, to the impressive wall of tome-ready shelving, this historic brownstone also boasts large living areas, soaring ceilings and a whopping three fireplaces! Meaning it would be great for both avid readers and avid book burners. The location is decent for being so far uptown. It’s just a short walk to the A, B, C trains and Saint Nicholas Park.
