Presenting 850 St. Nicholas Avenue, a majestic and magnificently restored 22.5 foot-wide townhouse designed in 1894 by John C. Burne in a neo-Renaissance style. Located in the heart of Sugar Hill's Historic District - an enclave of Victorian mansions and architecturally significant buildings, the approximately 4,980 square foot home, meticulously renovated in 2017, contains important historic details like ornate wood carvings throughout and basement Speak Easy as well modern additions such as fully landscaped and self-irrigating rooftop terrace with breathtaking views, elevator servicing all four floors, 7-zone central A/C and radiant heating, and indoor-outdoor entertainment space.
