Description

This one family home has been in the same family for generations and requires your personal touch, imagination and TLC. The facade is brick and limestone, there is much original detail that's well preserved without layers of paint on top, such as wainscotting, original woodwork, 3 gas fireplaces with ornate mantels, pocket doors, french doors, and parquet wood floors. There is a well maintained oil fired boiler plus 2 oil tanks in the cellar, and double insulated windows have been installed, the roof was replaced in 2008 and has 3 skylights. The second floor has a bay window in the back facing neighboring gardens and trees. Exposures are East and West with excellent direct sunlight. This is a very tranquil section of Sugar Hill 2 blocks away from the 1888 Bailey Mansion (of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus fame) which is undergoing a thorough and painstaking restoration, the express subway (A and D) is near 147th and St Nicholas, the 1 train at 145th and Broadway, the 3 at 148th and AC Powell, City College is a quick walk down Convent Avenue, and let's not forget Hamilton Grange on 141st Street, the former home of Alexander Hamilton. Starbucks, Duane Reade, New York Sports Club, and Pathmark are located along 145th Street near Frederick Douglas Boulevard. Fairway is a short drive at 131st and 12th Avenue. The new Columbia satelite campus is well under way.
