Sylvan Terrace is one of New York City's hidden secrets. 20, wood framed 19th century row houses line the street that was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest home in Manhattan. General George Washington used this house as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War and more recently, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote part of the award winning musical Hamilton here.
This home is moments from the C train, a few blocks from the 1 train as well as near several bus lines. This location is close to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, City College and many great shops and restaurants.
