607 West 147th Street

Completely restored single unit townhouse including 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 living areas, formal entry foyer, parlor level kitchen as well as a garden level "summer" kitchen, recreation room, back yard and finished roof deck with a Hudson River view. Original woodwork has been lovingly restored including all 8 original fireplaces with fabulously preserved turn of the century tilework. Entering the house, a guest is immediately greeted by a warmly appointed entry parlor with handsome original woodwork, a striking chartreuse tiled fireplace and coat closet. This room sets the tone for the rest of the painstakingly renovated and restored townhouse. Also on this level is the main kitchen, which features top of the line stainless appliances and a bathroom with shower. In the back dining area of the kitchen are oversized double doors leading to an exterior deck ideal for entertaining. This deck has stairs down to the garden, serenely enclosed by custom made wooden slat fencing. From the back yard, one may enter the house at grade level through a summer kitchen and breakfast area. This garden level of the house also includes a full bathroom, a recreation room and the mechanicals for the building. On the second floor are two large living areas split by the central staircase, both with original and functioning pocket doors. Either of these spaces could be used as a formal dining room, or simply left as great rooms for over 550 square feet of living space. The third and fourth floors are given to four bedrooms, also split by the central staircase and bathrooms. Each has a unique fireplace and its own closet. The staircase leads to a roof deck finished with tile. Sunsets are particularly beautiful here overlooking the Hudson River. This entire house has been either renovated or restored, with new heating and cooling appliances, new electrical and plumbing systems, windows, flooring and roof. Located on a tree lined park facing block in the heart of rapidly developing Hamilton Heights, 607 West 147 is a rarely seen opportunity for single unit townhouse living combining the best of old and new New York.
