Description
Solid oak double doors greet you at the grand entrance and invite you through the elegant vestibule and into the parlor level with 10.5-foot ceilings and a double living room, which is separated by an architectural cutout of the floor through to the lower level, offering the feeling of additional space and light. This level is flanked on both sides by two enormous windows, four in total, flooding the space with natural light. The open living space allows you a perfect setting for casual living and elegant entertaining. Down the hallway is a full bathroom with thoughtfully restored oak pillars that enhance the home’s historic charm and appeal.
Heading down the beautifully restored staircase to the first level, enjoy gathering in the enormous open-plan dining room and gourmet kitchen, with butcher block counter tops, stainless steel six-burner SMEG oven and microwave, Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, double farmhouse sink, and oversized pantry. The kitchen leads out to a private patio, enhanced with Moroccan tile, where there is seating for your morning coffee, evening aperitif or small gatherings. Also on this level is a laundry closet with a vented LG washer-dryer and conveniently, a powder room. The additional entrance with storage on this level enables the easy delivery of groceries and supplies.
On the third floor are two bedrooms + office or nursery and a second full bathroom. The stained-glass skylight showers the hallway and staircase with additional natural light. Each king-sized bedroom has ample closet and storage space and windows with unobstructed views.
This impeccably maintained house has beautiful new solid oak hardwood floors throughout; abundant closets and storage; and restored elements such as exposed brick and original joists. The home recently underwent additional improvements, including the addition of central AC with remote control and NEST system; new double-pane windows in both bedrooms; and 10 solar panels on the roof, which reduce the monthly electricity bill by 50-75%, depending on the time of year. The house has a relatively new boiler and electric panel, all discretely tucked away in well-designed closets; and upgraded electric and plumbing throughout.
Sylvan Terrace is one of New York City’s hidden secrets: only one city-block long and consisting of 20 wood-framed 19th century row houses, which line the cobblestone street that was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest home in Manhattan and what General George Washington used as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War. Once one of the sets for Martin Scorsese's Boardwalk Empire, you will find this one of the most charming streets in the city.
Located minutes from the C and 1 trains and close to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, City College, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library, The Cloisters, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and the lively hospitality of Washington Heights.
