Property Description for 17 Sylvan Terrace
17 Sylvan Terrace
There's no place like home! Nestled next to Morris-Jumel mansion on an adorable, private, glowing brick road sits a house to call a dream home AND an investment property. LOW monthlies and no board approval present an extraordinary opportunity to build a future in this two-family property boasting three stories of original detail; 17 Sylvan has well-maintained hardwood floors, built-in shelving, decorative fireplaces, beamed ceilings, exposed brick, a private backyard patio, and a skylight.
Sylvan Terrace, as the famous block came to be known, represents time out of time. What was once a wooded path leading to President George Washington's house is now a historic landmark of photogenic Colonial-Style townhouses right here in Manhattan. Lauded as one of the most beautiful sites in the city, the charm of each lantern and cobblestone is appreciated far and wide.
GARDEN FLOOR - There could not be a more perfect studio, should you like it to be one. Complete with ample storage, Washer & Dryer, and a glorious outdoor oasis, this beamed and bricked studio looks out onto the quiet painted houses that line Sylvan Terrace. Simply heaven!
PARLOR FLOOR - Entrance foyer and sliding French doors invite guests into a grand living room and open concept kitchen, complemented by large windows South and North.
SECOND FLOOR - Two bright bedrooms with built-in storage line the skylit landing, while a windowed home office perches on the South side.
Impeccably maintained:
- New roof
- New boiler (right?)
- (can we brag something about the gas thing here)
-
-
Location: Could not be better. Roger Morris Park's gorgeous greenspace and the Morris-Jumel Mansion museum next door enrich the legacy of this historic site, meanwhile Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital is immediately Northwest and City College near to the South. Eateries and shops speckle the map surrounding the campuses.
Transportation: Access to transit is particularly easy by C train right at 163rd, with additional access to the 1 train and multiple bus lines.

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.
