This home, built in the 1880s, is brimming with character. HBO location scouts thought so too as a couple of TV series have been filmed in the charming rooms. Perhaps it’s the original hardwood floors or the coffered ceilings that draw the eye, or the beautiful Art-Deco touches. There’s something of a Cluedo-mansion feel to the grand foyer with its twisting wooden staircase, and we can easily see a detective pacing the lounge with its fireplace, big bay window and magenta chaise longue. For a less formal get-together, there’s a family snug where shelves are brimming with board games. On a practical level, the kitchen is fully stocked, bedrooms have desks if you need to get some work done and there’s a home gym too. Heading out to the garden, you’re amidst towering trees for privacy. Take a seat on the patio and let the kids run free on the lawn. There’s a fire pit at the bottom of the garden for chilly evenings and a barbecue for summer nights. Spend days exploring the surrounding breweries, hiking trails and restaurants of downtown White Plains (a five-minute walk), or catch the two-stop NYC express train for a day in the Big Apple.

Local guide
About Harlem
Harlem has long been synonymous with Black culture. In the early 20th century, the neighbourhood was the setting for African-American-led movements in music, literature, dance and art – collectively known as the Harlem Renaissance – that featured innovators like Bessie Smith, Langston Hughes and Josephine Baker. That legacy is still evident today, especially along the area’s main thoroughfare, 125th Street, which is anchored by the Apollo Theater. Other highlights include...
