This meticulously restored 3 × 2 blocks square, of which Sylvan Terrace occupies the center, is one of the most remarkable legacies of American history and architecture.

This hidden gem is a perfect home to the growing number of Harlem aficionados, European families looking for old-world charm, and the
members of countless neighboring schools and medical centers such as Roosevelt Hospital.
