18 Sylvan Terrace, 2

THE OPPORTUNITY:
SPACIOUS MINT DUPLEX WITH SPA & EXCEPTIONAL 14 ft CEILINGS IN SPLENDID HISTORIC LOCATION:
Oozing with European charm, perched on the highest hill in Manhattan, this is a mint and magnificently restored home on Sylvan Terrace, a quiet pedestrian cul-de-sac hosting a row of only 20 Colonial-Style townhouses leading to the Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum and Park, once President Washington's headquarter in 1776 during the Revolutionary War.
LANDMARK IN ALL THE WAYS:
This apartment and building facade underwent a gut restoration in 2022; ceilings were increased to a soaring 14ft; the 3rd bedroom was duplexed into a bedroom plus mezzanine for an extra bed or den.
This meticulously preserved area, of which Sylvan Terrace occupies the epicenter, is one of the most remarkable history and architecture legacies Manhattan has to offer. Named after the Latin word Silva, forest, it was the wooded alley leading to the mansion. The original gas-lantern-lit cobblestones still resonate with the echo of grandeur and carriages.
