Discover Sylvan Terrace, one of New York City's hidden gems! This one-block-long cobblestone street, lined with 20 charming 19th-century wood-framed row houses, was originally the carriage drive to the Morris-Jumel Mansion-the oldest home in Manhattan and George Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War.

Steeped in history and cinematic appeal (featured in Martin Scorsese's Boardwalk Empire), Sylvan Terrace offers a unique blend of timeless elegance and urban convenience. Situated just off Amsterdam Avenue, you're moments away from restaurants, cafes, groceries, Columbia Medical facilities, and multiple transportation options.
