Hush… 18 Sylvan is a savvy New Yorker’s best-kept secret…
This is a magnificent, gut-renovated full townhouse, oozing with charm, on the famed historic landmark Sylvan Terrace, across from the Jumel Mansion Museum and surrounding Parks, where President Washington resided in the 1700’s. The meticulously restored 3-block square, of which Sylvan Terrace occupies the center, is a most remarkable legacy of American history and architecture. Sylvan Terrace was named after the Latin word Silva, forest, as it was the wooded alley leading to president Washington’s head quarters. The original cobblestones and lanterns still resonate of carriages and grandeur. This is the perfect investment or home for families looking for the quiet old-world charm of a Mews. The ground floor 1 BR opens from a separate entry, yet could easily be recombined to the original flow of this once-one-family-townhouse. Draw your potential tenants from the nearby Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and the exponentially growing number of Harlem aficionados.
