About This Home
As of June 202117 Sylvan Terrace
There's no place like home! Nestled next to Morris-Jumel mansion on an adorable, private, glowing brick road sits a house to call a dream home AND an investment property. LOW monthlies and no board approval present an extraordinary opportunity to build a future in this two-family property boasting three stories of original detail; 17 Sylvan has well-maintained hardwood floors, built-in shelving, decorative fireplaces, beamed ceilings, exposed brick, a private backyard patio, and a skylight.
Sylvan Terrace, as the famous block came to be known, represents time out of time. What was once a wooded path leading to President George Washington's house is now a historic landmark of photogenic Colonial-Style townhouses right here in Manhattan. Lauded as one of the most beautiful sites in the city, the charm of each lantern and cobblestone is appreciated far and wide.
GARDEN FLOOR - There could not be a more perfect studio, should you like it to be one. Complete with ample storage, Washer & Dryer, and a glorious outdoor oasis, this beamed and bricked studio looks out onto the quiet painted houses that line Sylvan Terrace. Simply heaven!
PARLOR FLOOR - Entrance foyer and sliding French doors invite guests into a grand living room and open concept kitchen, complemented by large windows South and North.
SECOND FLOOR - Two bright bedrooms with built-in storage line the skylit landing, while a windowed home office perches on the South side.
Impeccably maintained:
- New roof
- New boiler (right?)
- (can we brag something about the gas thing here)

Location: Could not be better. Roger Morris Park's gorgeous greenspace and the Morris-Jumel Mansion museum next door enrich the legacy of this historic site, meanwhile Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital is immediately Northwest and City College near to the South. Eateries and shops speckle the map surrounding the campuses.
Transportation: Access to transit is particularly easy by C train right at 163rd, with additional access to the 1 train and multiple bus lines.
