Property Description

Contemporary designer finishes meet Manhattan history in this masterfully renovated 1887 Victorian row house nestled in Sylvan Terrace — one of the most-admired historic enclaves in all of New York City. This gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence wows with charming outdoor space, original architectural details and a sun-kissed single-family layout. Featured in Dwell magazine, the handsome home welcomes you on the garden level with random-width reclaimed pine flooring, exposed brick, and rough-hewn beams. Enjoy a generous open layout for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining surrounded by a wood-burning fireplace and a salvaged wharf light, or step outside to the walled garden for al fresco dining and grilling. The gourmet kitchen elevates culinary adventures with anodized aluminum cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, a concrete range hood and upscale stainless steel appliances. On the parlor level, ceilings with painstakingly recreated medallions rise over another fireplace flanked by built-ins, carefully excavated original pocket doors, and lovely floors inlaid with cherry and maple. This flexible two-room level is perfect for living space, home office or bedroom use alongside a contemporary windowed bathroom with a walk-in shower and floor-to-ceiling quartz marble subway tile. On the top floor, explore the spacious and bright full-floor owner’s suite, where soaring 15-foot-tall beamed ceilings, restored 19th century French chandeliers and remote-controlled skylights create a bright and airy ambiance. Pumpkin pine paves the floors while matching wood-burning and decorative brick fireplaces add symmetry to the impressive space, offering plenty of room for a king-size bed and sitting area. In the adjacent windowed bathroom, you’ll find concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling quartz tile, a frameless glass shower and a sink that once served as a water fountain in a Philadelphia park. A large laundry room/closet completes the level, while mini-split HVAC units and Baxi radiators ensure year-round comfort. Currently configured as a single-family townhouse with an expansive primary suite, this flexible home could easily accommodate the addition of another bedroom by splitting the primary. Or, transform the legal two-family building with a garden apartment for income-generating potential. Located within the Jumel Terrace Historic District, Sylvan Terrace is a delightful collection of 20 two-story wood rowhouses built along a classic Belgian block cul-de-sac with beautiful views of Morris Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest residence. Located where Washington Heights meets Harlem, this location offers direct access to Highbridge Park, with the Nike Armory Track & Field Center, United Palace Theater, and fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife all nearby. The C train is right outside your door, and 1, B and A lines, excellent bus service and CitiBikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
