Property Description for 11 Sylvan Terrace

The past meets the present in this architecturally designed, beautifully renovated historic row house. This amazing 3 story home with a small private outdoor space has been thoughtfully reimagined. This 6 room, 2+ bedrooms, 2 baths, open concept living space with stylish finishes, allows you a perfect setting for casual living and elegant entertaining. Enjoy gathering in the generously sized gourmet kitchen, an inviting space anchored by a center worktable. Your inner chef will be inspired with its butcher block counter tops, stainless steel 6 burner SMEG oven and microwave, Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, double farmhouse sink, and large pantry with an 18-bottle wine fridge. An opening was created between the kitchen and parlor floor offering the feeling of additional space and light. The Parlor floor also boast side by side formal Living Room and Media Room. The comfortable 2 + bedrooms are located just one floor above. Beautiful stained white oak hardwood floors and plenty of natural light flow throughout the home's lofty layout. Special highlights include, bathrooms on every floor, exposed brick and original joists, soaring ceiling heights, original 9' entry doors, ceiling fans, vented LG washer/dryer, all appliances less than 5 years old and a new hot water boiler. Sylvan Terrace is one of New York Cities 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 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.
