Make your dreams come true...Imagine your townhouse home on a secret street of historic row houses where the past meets the present. This amazing 3 story, 2 Bed, 2 bath home is in-move condition, with private outdoor space. Bright and Sunny from top to bottom, this home has been thoughtfully reimaged with modern conveniences for today's living with stylishly renovated finishes that allows you a perfect setting for casual living with elegant intimate entertaining. Sylvan Terrace is one of New York City's hidden secrets. Twenty wood framed 19th century row houses line the cobblestone street. It was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, one block away, the oldest home in Manhattan. Fun facts, General George Washington used the Mansion as his temporary headquarters during the Revolutionary War and more recently, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote part of his award winning musical, Hamilton, here.
