Property Description for 18 Sylvan Terrace, 1
This is an Owner/Broker property.
ARE OPPORTUNITY OF A SPACIOUS 1-BR RENTAL IN A HISTORIC TOWNHOUSE … PERCHED ON THE HIGHEST HILL IN MANHATTAN!
Sylvan Terrace is rated #1 of Manhattan’s “7 secret streets to know and love… Shh! Don’t tell anyone!”, Streeteasy.
“NYC’s most in-demand harder-to-land secret street is uptown”, The Post.
“One of the most memorable aspects of Sylvan T. isn’t just how perfect and uniform each house is, it’s how this 19th-century time capsule is casually wedged between a laundromat and a supermarket… A set of steps with beautifully manicured hedges seems to materialize out of nowhere to lead you into a totally different time and place. And to add to the movie-set-like quality, the little street ends at the Morris-Jumel mansion, a grand Federal house that looks more like the Hudson Valley than Manhattan.” Robert Khederian, Compass, Instagram.
Sylvan Terrace is one of the 20 magnificent homes on the famed historic landmark pedestrian cul-de-sac of Sylvan T., across from the umel Mansion Museum & Park, where President Washington resided in 1776.
This meticulously restored 3 × 2 blocks square centered on Sylvan is one of the most remarkable legacies of American history & architectures. Sylvan derived from Latin “silva”, forest; it was the wooded alley leading to the mansion. The original cobblestones & lanterns still resonate with echoes of grandeur & carriages.
You love the timeless sound of an old fountain? Take a book or your laptop to your stone bench in the Jumel Park 20 yards away, atop the culminating hill, all-yr attraction for everyone appreciating horticulture, history & design. Peace & safety are a staple of these blocks, right off the richest & most bustling section of Amsterdam Avenue, which abounds in remarkable schools and Yeshivots, Columbia Medical facilities, churches of all faiths, and transportation. An assured love at first sight awaits. European cafes and take-outs, groceries & laundromat staff are down the block, waiting to greet your smiling face.
LAYOUT & FEATURES:
This spacious & charming 20 ft wide 1BR presents oozing character; right off the unique cobblestone st., enjoy your independent access to a gracious & intimate vestibule w/ 2 closets, leading to an open Living-Dining space ornate w/ an original brick fireplace & equipped w/ remarkable storage, a convivial open kitchen, beamed BR w/ ensuite bath & bountiful storage space throughout.
Recently meticulously restored, it maintains its 1882 pedigree while gleaming w/ the most contemporary finishes and the edge of modern improvements: double-pane insulated windows; discreet recessed lighting throughout; skim-coated plastering throughout; restored terracotta flooring; the extra-large Kitchen features abundant cabinetry, fun cubbyholes & brand new equipment: DW, MW, oversized refrigerator, easy care quartzite countertop & backsplash.
Security features:

-A state of the art, yet redundant, security system was installed, should you feel attracted to its remove control capability.
UNIQUE SERVICES

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.
