Description

Completely gut renovated, to the studs, historic townhouse featuring recessed halogen lighting, central air conditioning and heat, gas fireplace, stainless steel appliances, custom maple cabinets, granite countertops. This 3 bedroom and 3 full baths offers generous space for everyday living, PLUS a lovely private patio/garden area. Move in ready, nothing needs to be done!

Built in the late 1800's on land that had been the carriage drive leading to the historic Morris-Jumel Mansion, Sylvan Terrace has been described as 'the little street that leads to history.' With its cobblestone pavement and wood clapboard-sided townhouses, this idyllic lane sets itself apart from the surrounding Manhattan grid, tucked away as though forgotten from another era. The end of the 19th century saw a housing boom in Manhattan, and these 20 homes became some of the first houses built in an area that had been mostly farmland. Today, Sylvan Terrace is part of the Jumel Terrace Historic District.
