Property Description for 40 Hamilton Terrace

40 Hamilton Terrace
A historic townhouse with beautiful, original details!
Perfectly located on the historic and bucolic enclave of Hamilton Terrace this magnificent example of majestic turn of the century architecture by Henri Fouchaux is one of the lucky homes to have preserved the elegant wood work as is evident throughout, most strikingly in the glorious parlor floor entry! This massive home boasts five bedrooms and six full baths, inclusive of the lovely garden apartment!

With approximately 4,142 square feet top to bottom and a glorious planted garden it is a true oasis! The Parlor Floor brings you back in time with the warm and welcoming foyer and traditional front and back parlor areas with full dining room, all graced by decorative fireplaces with intricate woodworking and tiles. The gracious kitchen overlooks the garden with a deck where one can enjoy a morning coffee or share a meal with a friend. Up the staircase you will find a large, inviting and elegant suite with a bay window and traditional dressing room with bath along with a second bath and bedroom! Up you go again to find two more spacious bedrooms and baths, one with a sunny skylight, and a washer/dryer.

The Garden Floor of this home boasts a separate one bedroom apartment accessible both from the exterior front garden and the interior staircase. This apartment has garden access, an updated kitchen and two baths!

According to Ephemeral New York, nestled in the quiet stretch of Hamilton Heights from 141st to 144th Hamilton Terrace sits, named for this founding father, "like a secret passage lined with townhouse loveliness". The street takes its name from Hamilton Grange, Hamilton's former country house built in 1802 that currently sits atop a hill at West 141st Street. Perfectly perched on this historic block sits 40 Hamilton Terrace, a jewel in the crown!

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
