Property Description for 7 Sylvan Terrace, THOUSE

Make your dreams come true...Imagine your townhouse home on a secret street of historic row houses where the past meets the present. This amazing 3 story, 2 Bed, 2 bath home is in move in condition with private outdoor space. It has been thoughtfully reimaged with the modern conveniences for today's living with stylish renovated finishes that allows you a perfect setting for casual living with elegant intimate entertaining. Sylvan Terrace is one of New York City's hidden secrets. Twenty wood framed 19th century row houses line the street. It was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest home in Manhattan. Some fun facts, General George Washington used this house as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War and more recently, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote part of his award winning musical, Hamilton, here.

From the attractive street stoop, you enter the more formal of the two entertaining spaces; both spaces invite use for luxurious living, entertaining, and relaxation. At the parlor level, you are welcomed with nearly 11 ft ceilings and stained glass doors into a side by side warm and bright entertaining area. Separated by beautiful pocket doors, you enjoy a formal living room and library/media room, plus a full bath in the hallway.

For more casual living, the garden level is down a lovely mahogany staircase or you may enter directly into your home from under the stoop. The open concept living offers you the opportunity to enjoy gathering time in a generously sized gourmet kitchen. Your inner chef will be inspired with its black granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and more counter and custom storage space than any NYC kitchen you have seen. The dining table (think farm table) setting is where you can enjoy making memories next to a gas fireplace set in a chalkboard wall. You may never want to move. This amazing space is further enhanced with a wine refrigerator nestled in a separate bar. And finally, enter your own private outdoor garden - where you can spend many a peaceful moment.

The top floor offers comfortable 2 + bedrooms, with 12 ft ceilings, two skylights flooding in sunlight. The primary bedroom boasts a home office and an enormous walk-in-closet. This floor is further completed with a large stackable Washer & Dryer, and a sunlight bathroom.

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.
