The landmarked early 1893 townhouse at 265 West 139th Street on Harlem’s famed Strivers’ Row historic district has the added distinction of having been Bob Dylan's home from 1996 to 2000. The cultural icon sold the McKim Mead & White-designed townhouse for $560,000, and it was listed again, as 6sqft reports, for $3.7 million in 2017. After 13 decades of cultural and architectural significance, the home, on the street's coveted residents-only alley, has benefitted from upgrades and enhancements that promise to keep it relevant and gracious for 21st-century homeowners. It's currently listed for $3 million.
