    What's special

    Nestled in the heart of one of the most historic neighborhoods in NYC, here in the Morris-Jumel Mansion's Historical Enclave and once one of the sets for Martin Scorsese's BOARDWALK EMPIRE, you will find this most charming of streets filled with quaint row houses, SYLVAN TERRACE. This particular home has been impeccably cared for, updated with details for the most discerning eyes and designed perfectly for both entertaining and comfortable living. From the stoop, you enter through the custom double-entry doors (2-inch thick with car-cote finish to keep the heat in and cold out) into your fabulous parlor, with Brazilian cherry wood floors, crown molding, custom-made antique iron chandeliers, and double-height windows with beautiful views of the row houses on the street. This home is currently configured as a 3 bedroom (convertible 4) with two baths. There is a multipurpose Great Room and cozy Kitchen an pantry on the Garden level with a small outdoor patio that's been perfectly outfitted with furniture, a grill, string light and planting for your relaxation. The Parlor level was originally set up as a formal open concept Living Room/Dining Room with a full bath however the current owner has artfully divided the space to create a separate living room and a primary bedroom. The bedroom has solid Oak French Doors so the space can easily be converted to a formal dining room if needed. The beautiful staircase with its beautiful Gilded Age bannister leads you to the top floor which consists of a 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, a small guest room/office or nursery that is currently being used a 4th bedroom and another full bathroom with a glassed in shower.

This impeccably maintained house has: -New boiler and electric panel, all discretely tucked away in well-designed closets. -Electric and plumbing upgraded throughout the home -Roof resurfaced a few years ago and the porch painted and maintained regularly. Landmarked Sylvan Terrace is a cobblestone street that was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in Manhattan. General George Washington used the mansion as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War and, more recently, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote part of the award winning musical Hamilton here.
