The late poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou’s Harlem townhouse is up for sale — and it just might be a record-breaker.

Asking $5.09 million, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom spread on scenic 120th Street hit the market over the weekend, almost four years after the beloved cultural iconpassed away in 2014.

If it sells for its asking price, the house would shatter the record for a Harlem townhouse. The current record holder may be the broker of a 5,300-square-foot house in Hamilton Heights at 326 Convent Ave. with four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and lots of historic detail, which she says sold in early January for almost $5 million. When that sale is formally recorded, the deal will handily top Neil Patrick Harris’ 2013 buy, a $3.6 million townhouse on Fifth Avenue near 126th Street. The Harris house boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, totaling over 8,000 square feet.

By comparison, Angelou’s four-story brownstone, between Malcolm X Boulevard and Fifth Avenue near Marcus Garvey Park, has 6,500 square feet of space where Angelou “entertained scores of friends like Oprah Winfrey and Cicely Tyson with dance parties and competitive Boggle games and whipped up her signature smothered chicken,” notes the New York Times, which first reported the listing. Valon Nikci of Link NY Realty is marketing the property.

Angelou bought a rundown, unlivable shell in 2002. Public records say she spent $435,000 on the 20-foot-wide home, which dates back to the early 1900s (and looked like it had been left to rot since then). A major renovation followed, which left it full of candy-colored furniture, African art and scores of bookcases for her massive literary collection. Now it could be the very first home in the area to surpass the $5 million mark.

Her primary home was in Winston-Salem, NC, where Angelou was a professor at Wake Forest University.

But 58 W. 120th St. has all the trappings of a fabulously lived-in home: an elevator (Angelou had hip problems), high ceilings, fireplaces, a ceiling painted with clouds, a dining room with stained glass, a private garden, a basement rec room, a top-floor library and a master bath with a Jacuzzi tub.

“I never thought you can’t go home again,” she told the Times in 2007. “I’ve been coming home to Harlem for 50 years.”

Now it’s someone else’s turn.
