Property Description for 16 Sylvan Terrace
IN CONTRACT - No Board Approval and the lowest monthlies ever!
Nestled in the heart of one of the most historic neighborhoods in NYC, you will find the most charming street filled with quaint row houses.
This particular home has been impeccably cared for, updated with details only the savviest of designers could think of and is designed perfectly for both entertaining and comfortable living.
From the stoop, you enter through the custom double-entry doors (2-inch thick with car-cote finish to keep the heat in and cold out) into your fabulous parlor, with Brazilian cherry wood floors, crown molding, custom-made antique iron chandeliers, and double-height windows with beautiful views of the row houses on the street.
This home is currently configured as a 2 bedroom (convertible 3) with two baths. There is a multipurpose Great Room and cozy Kitchen on the Garden level with a small outdoor area perfect for plantings. The Parlor level is set up as a formal open concept Living Room/Dining Room with a full bath. The beautiful staircase leads you to the top floor which consists of the Master bedroom, 2nd bedroom/guest room that is currently being used as a Den, and another full bathroom.

-Fireplace on each floor (ground floor piped for gas)
-Zoned central AC
-Radiant heat on the first floor
-Audio/video Intercom
-High ceilings
-Abundant closets and storage.
Windowed kitchen Includes:
-Caesarstone counter-tops
-Custom cabinets with soft touch drawers
-Top of the line appliances:

-Liebherr refrigerator
-Bosch dishwasher and stackable W/D.
This impeccably maintained house has:
-New boiler and electric panel
-Electric and plumbing upgraded throughout
-Roof resurfaced every other year and the porch painted and maintained yearly. Landmarked Sylvan Terrace is a cobblestone street that was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in Manhattan. General George Washington used the mansion as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War and, more recently, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote part of the award winning musical Hamilton here.
You are moments from the C train and a few blocks from the 1 train, as well as near several bus lines. This location is in close proximity to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, City College, and many great shops and restaurants.

Washington Heights | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Washington Heights, a hilly neighborhood on Manhattan’s northern tip known for its affordable apartments, preserved pre-war buildings, and Dominican food. Some would argue that it's a hidden gem and one of Manhattan's last neighborhoods that has retained its culture. The large swath of land is bordered by Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street, by Harlem to the South along 155th Street, by the Harlem River to the east, and the Hudson River to the West. It is the highest natural point on the Island of Manhattan.
Despite its high residential density, Washington Heights and Inwood have not seen modern housing construction in more than a decade other than relatively small housing units. Midtown Manhattan, Battery Park, TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen, on the other hand, have seen an increase in building. Most of the high rise construction belongs to hospitals such as New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and educational institutions like Yeshiva University and Boricua College.
Washington Heights has access to amazing green spaces like The Cloisters, Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park and Fort Tryon Park. There is no shortage of historical landmarks either. Remember General George Washington set up his camp in Washington Heights during the Revolutionary War. He used the elevated neighborhood to his tactical advantage to spot the Redcoats. As history would have it, his plan didn’t work out so well and the British occupied New York for seven years.
