Znamenit townhouse neposredno nasuprot Morris-Jumel Mansiona

Rijetka prilika za vlasništvo nad pomno očuvanim townhouseom za jednu obitelj na ikoničnoj Jumel Terasi, jednom od najpoznatijih i arhitektonski značajnih stambenih područja New Yorka.

Projektirao ga je 1896. arhitekt Henri Fouchaux za Williama W. Watkinsa, ova romanička revival rezidencija najveća je od samo pet zaštićenih kuća koje se nalaze uz mirnu kaldrmisanu ulicu unutar povijesnog okruga Jumel Terrace.

Dom se nalazi direktno preko puta zaštićenog parka oko Morris-Jumel Mansiona, osiguravajući trajne otvorene poglede, a Sylvan Terrace je samo nekoliko koraka dalje.

Prostran otprilike 3,500 četvornih stopa kroz četiri puna kata, plus otprilike 800 četvornih stopa uređenog podruma, dom nudi velikodušnu površinu i fleksibilnost na svojim razinama.

Pet dekorativnih kamina s originalnim pločicama i drvenim okvirom učvršćuju povijesni karakter doma, a sve to dopunjuju klizna vrata, drvena obloga, vitraži i drvene rolete koje odražavaju majstorstvo kasnog devetnaestog stoljeća.

Razina vrta uključuje prostor za život i blagovanje, kuhinju s blagovaonicom s granitnim radnim površinama, vanjskom ventilacijom za kuhinjski napa, dva velika ormara za ostavu i punu kupaonicu, s izravnim pristupom zadnjem dvorištu i vrtu.

Stražnji prostori uživaju zapadne izloženosti sa svjetlom zalaska sunca, dok gornja prednja spavaća soba hvata poglede na udaljeni srednji dio grada.

Moderni sustavi pažljivo su integrirani, uključujući centralno grijanje i individualne Fujitsu split klima uređaje i grijače u svakoj sobi, svi ažurirani u posljednjih pet godina.

A Landmark Corner Townhouse Facing the Morris-Jumel Mansion on iconic Jumel Terrace

A rare opportunity to own a meticulously preserved corner single-family townhouse on iconic Jumel Terrace, a quiet cobblestone block within the landmarked Jumel Terrace Historic District, a rare enclave known for its architectural integrity, historic significance, and distinct identity.

Designed in 1896 by Henri Fouchaux for William W. Watkins, this Romanesque Revival residence is the largest of just five landmarked homes lining the street.

Directly across from the Morris-Jumel Mansion in Roger Morris Park, Manhattan's oldest surviving residence and former Revolutionary War headquarters once associated with Eliza Jumel and George Washington, the home enjoys permanently protected park views and a setting shaped by centuries of New York history. Around the corner, Sylvan Terrace offers a rare and remarkably intact glimpse into 19th-century Manhattan.

The surrounding neighborhood carries a rich cultural legacy. Nearby, the 555 Edgecombe Avenue Apartments, known as the "Triple Nickel," became one of Upper Manhattan's most distinguished residential addresses, home to luminaries including Duke Ellington, Thurgood Marshall, Paul Robeson, Count Basie, Langston Hughes, and W. E. B. Du Bois. This area long served as a center of Black cultural and intellectual life during the Harlem Renaissance and beyond.

Approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the Columbia University Irving Medical Center at West 168th Street and Broadway, the location maintains a longstanding connection to education, research, and employment.

Spanning approximately 3,500 square feet across four full floors, plus an approximately 800 square foot finished basement, the home offers exceptional scale and flexibility. Measuring approximately 18 feet wide, it sits on a 17.75 by 100 foot lot with building dimensions of approximately 17.75 by 58 feet. Annual property taxes are $11,411.

The parlor level presents a gracious sequence of formal living and dining rooms, defined by soaring ceilings and finely preserved woodwork. 5 decorative fireplaces with original tiled surrounds and carved wood mantels anchor the home's historic character. Additional details include pocket doors, wainscoting, stained glass, and original wood shutters that reflect late 19th-century craftsmanship.

The garden level features a study and dining area, an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, an externally vented range hood, two large pantry cupboards, and a full bathroom. This level opens directly to the rear patio and an approximately 600 square foot private garden with mature plantings, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Upper floors include 4 additional bedrooms, bringing the total to 5, including a primary suite with a dressing room featuring original oak cabinetry. A skylit study provides flexibility for work or guests. Three skylights enhance natural light throughout. In total, the home offers 4 full bathrooms, including an en suite, thoughtfully renovated to balance historic integrity with modern comfort. Two bathrooms feature Japanese Toto bidet toilets.

The finished lower level is arranged into well-defined spaces, including a home gym, media room, storage, and a full bathroom with a six-jet and rain shower, offering spa-like functionality rarely found in a townhouse of this era.

The home's orientation is exceptional. Front-facing rooms enjoy eastern exposures overlooking the Morris-Jumel Mansion and park, offering unobstructed sunrise light. Rear rooms benefit from western exposures and sunset light, while the top front bedroom captures distant Midtown skyline views.

Modern systems have been thoughtfully integrated, including Mitsubishi split heating and air conditioning units in every room.
