THE BEST TOWNHOUSE VALUE IN SUGAR HILL/HAMILTON HEIGHTS JUST GOT BETTER!!! NEW PRICE: $1,290,000. This beautiful, renovated Hamilton Heights townhouse, featured in a NY Times Real Estate article Sept. 6th, 2009, is located on a historic and tranquil landmarked block. Built in 1883, this Queen Anne/Victorian home originally had views to midtown! Containing over 4300 sf of living space, with three wood-burning fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and original details, this rock-solid home was renovated by a Con Edison engineer (only its third owner), who did everything right the first time… so you, its “fourth”, won’t need to! There’s a private back yard for entertaining or recreation (basketball hoop already in place). Four floors - over 1000 sf per floor. Although it's a legal one family home, the top floor is configured as a "mother-in-law flat” – a separate living space with full kitchen, bathroom, living room & bedroom, with a wood-burning fireplace and a walk-in closet - with the potential for extra income, or to provide a family member with a separate, private, and spacious living space. The garden level, formerly used as a permitted daycare center, has an extra kitchen and bathroom, as well, plus huge closet/storage space, and a separate entry, through a “cloistered” front porch. Again, the potential for extra income, or inclusion as part of the “family home”. An elegant spiral staircase connects the parlor level (with its pair of original floor-to-ceiing front windows & moldings plus original mirror) with the second floor master suite, which, in addition to its own wood-burning fireplace, features two walk-in closets nearly the size of guest bedrooms and an extra-large Jacuzzi bathroom tub! Located on one of the very best uptown (or "any-town") residential blocks in Manhattan, this property is minutes away from I-87, the Westside Highway, Harlem River Drive & FDR. The C Subway and a parking garage are steps away. A,B,C,D & 1 are a few blocks farther. Riverbank Park, Riverside Park, Fairway Market, Dinosaur Barbecue, Covo, Café Largo, City College, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital & Columbia University are all close at hand! Duke Ellington lived a block up and over; Thurgood Marshall around the corner; Althea Gibson next door; and Eartha Kitt, across the street. Did Patrick Ewing perfect his slam dunk on the backyard basketball hoop? Hard to say... but the third owner's sons certainly did! Construction is set to begin in 2010 on the building housing the 15,000 sf "Faith Ringgold Children's Museum of Art and Story-Telling", two-and-a-half blocks away. The new Sugar Hill renaissance is in the making... with families, professionals, artists, and movers & shakers joining forces with the community to move it forward into a new and even brighter future. Join them today! This is a unique building at an exceptional price. If you've seen dozens of Harlem townhouses, from Mt. Morris Park to Strivers Row, Hamilton Terrace, Convent Ave., and anywhere else -- it's time you came to 413 W. 154th St. There are many excellent townhouses in Harlem, but, at this price, quality, size, location, and lack of drama or confusion in the purchasing process (if you're an experienced buyer, you know what I mean) - this one is the best.
