Property Description for 14 Sylvan Terrace

Make your dreams come true... with low monthlies and no board approval. Imagine your single family home on a secret street of historic row houses nestled in the top of Harlem. This enchanting home is sunny with more windows than most houses in Manhattan, and skylights from lower level to the roof. Original details abound, including: crown and baseboard moldings, 2 FP (1-wood burning), pocket doors, period hard wood floors with some wide plank flooring & high ceilings. From the attractive stoop, you enter your home, the interior offers 3 floors, with 7 spacious rooms. Two floors of entertaining space; both which invite use for luxurious formal or informal entertaining and relaxation. On the parlor level there is a nice foyer and warm and bright living room separated by pocket doors from the library/music room. From there go up and out onto the beautiful deck where you can entertain, cook, and plant that flower and vegetable garden. There is both electric and water on the southern deck. The top floor boasts the MBR with an adjacent windowed WIC, the second bedroom and an updated beautiful full bath. There is an additional BR on the lower level as well. Either ascend the beautiful stairway or enter from the street level to the lower level with an equally delicious space. Here you have the renovated kitchen that is open to the dining room, with a hutch that also serves for wine storage, a cozy and comfortable den, the 3rd BR/guest room or home office, and the bath and W/D. With each room of gracious proportions. 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 several bus lines. This location is in close proximity to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and City College.

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.
