A House in Hamilton Heights - 52 Hamilton Terrace from Harlem Properties on Vimeo. Introducing the incredible address of 52 Hamilton Terrace. Over 4,000 SF of single-family glory. This home is the epitome of luxury in New York City. A Manhattan townhouse located just minutes from the GWB and a very short walk to the 145 Street express train stop, but tucked away on the quietest of cul-de-sac streets. As they say in Hamilton, it’s quiet uptown...and Hamilton Terrace is a fantastic and historic address, worth a peek.
