A rare opportunity to live on Sylvan Terrace, one of Manhattan's most beautiful and historic cobblestone streets.
Set within a landmarked townhouse just steps from the Morris-Jumel Mansion, this residence offers a distinctive combination of historic charm, residential tranquility, and convenient city living.
Tucked away from the bustle of Manhattan, Sylvan Terrace feels like a peaceful village street, yet the restaurants, shops, parks, and subway connections of Washington Heights are all nearby.
A unique opportunity to experience a quieter side of Manhattan in a truly memorable setting.
Available November 22, 2026. Dog discussions welcome.
