Contemporary designer finishes meet manhattan history in this masterfully renovated 1887 victorian row house nestled in sylvan terrace — one of the most-admired historic enclaves in all of new york city.  This gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence wows with charming outdoor space, original architectural details and a sun-kissed single-family layout.  Featured in dwell magazine, the handsome home welcomes you on the garden level with random-width reclaimed pine flooring, exposed brick, and rough-hewn beams.  Enjoy a generous open layout for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining surrounded by a wood-burning fireplace and a salvaged wharf light, or step outside to the walled garden for al fresco dining and grilling.  The gourmet kitchen elevates culinary adventures with anodized aluminum cabinetry, carrara marble countertops, a concrete range hood and upscale stainless steel appliances.  On the parlor level, ceilings with painstakingly recreated medallions rise over another fireplace flanked by built-ins, carefully excavated original pocket doors, and lovely floors inlaid with cherry and maple.  This flexible two-room level is perfect for living space, home office or bedroom use alongside a contemporary windowed bathroom with a walk-in shower and floor-to-ceiling quartz marble subway tile.  On the top floor, explore the spacious and bright full-floor owner’s suite, where soaring 15-foot-tall beamed ceilings, restored 19th century french chandeliers and remote-controlled skylights create a bright and airy ambiance.  Pumpkin pine paves the floors while matching wood-burning and decorative brick fireplaces add symmetry to the impressive space, offering plenty of room for a king-size bed and sitting area.  In the adjacent windowed bathroom, you’ll find concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling quartz tile, a frameless glass shower and a sink that once served as a water fountain in a philadelphia park.  A large laundry room/closet completes the level, while mini-split hvac units and baxi radiators ensure year-round comfort.  Currently configured as a single-family townhouse with an expansive primary suite, this flexible home could easily accommodate the addition of another bedroom by splitting the primary.  Or, transform the legal two-family building with a garden apartment for income-generating potential.  Located within the jumel terrace historic district, sylvan terrace is a delightful collection of 20 two-story wood rowhouses built along a classic belgian block cul-de-sac with beautiful views of morris jumel mansion, manhattan’s oldest residence.  Located where washington heights meets harlem, this location offers direct access to highbridge park, with the nike armory track & field center, united palace theater, and fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife all nearby.  The c train is right outside your door, and 1, b and a lines, excellent bus service and citibikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
