For all the new development that has taken hold of certain sections of Harlem and Upper Manhattan, the neighborhoods' rich histories cannot be completely demolished. Many of the iconic townhouses and brownstones have been updated to include every amenity and convenience today's buyers have come to expect, but the designers make a point of keeping historic details like exposed brick, handcrafted woodwork, ornate staircases, stained-glass windows and wood-burning fireplaces. These homes offer the best of old New York and modern luxury.
