Nan ane 1890 yo, achitèk Clarence True, ki te desine kèk nan kay an ranje ki pi distenge nan Manhattan, te pran distans li ak ranje kay brownstone ki gen eskalye devan ki byen apik nan Upper West Side. Kay an ranje ki pote siyati li a te prezante yon fasad an kalkè ki gen skultur ak yon bèl eskalye devan ki ba, jis anlè twotwa a. 473 West 143rd Street se youn nan kat kay an ranje True ki kole youn ak lòt sou blòk sa a, nan Distri Istorik Hamilton Heights la.

Apre li te rete nan men yon sèl pwopriyetè pandan plizyè dizèn ane, kay la te mete ajou avèk anpil refleksyon epi konsève avèk anpil swen, olye yo ta fin dechouke l nèt. Travay bwa orijinal yo, pòt ki glise antre nan mi yo, plafon ki byen wo ak sèt chemine (kat ladan yo toujou fonksyone) rete entak.

Kay sa a gen senk etaj, li mezire 4,825 pye kare, epi li chita sou yon teren 17 pye pa 100 pye. Rezidans pwopriyetè a louvri sou yon antre prensipal ki gen yon chemine epòk la ak yon eskalye mayestye. Etaj siperyè yo gen senk chanm ki laj, yon chanm siplemantè ki ka sèvi kòm pandri kote moun ka antre oswa kòm chanm tibebe, ansanm ak twa twalèt edmi. Nivo ki anba a, ki fini, ajoute yon lòt twalèt konplè, espas pou yon jimnaz ak plis espas depo. Yon apatman ki gen yon chanm, ak pwòp antre prive li, bay revni lokatif; oswa li ka fasilman rekonekte ak kay la pou kreye yon kay pou yon sèl fanmi ki gen sis chanm.

Kay la gen non pa youn, men de espas deyò ki amenaje: yon jaden ki gen yon kwizin deyò ki ekipe nèt, ansanm ak yon teras sou do kay la ki gen plant, ki ouvè anba syèl la, epi ki gen yon dezyèm kwizin deyò ekipe nèt.

Hamilton Grange, Hamilton Terrace ak kanpis gotik istorik City College la toupre anpil, epi Midtown la sèlman 15 minit ale nan tren eksprès la.

Yo ofri kay la a 808 dola pou chak pye kare, alòske dènye lavant kay an ranje Clarence True nan Upper West Side la te ant 1,100 ak 1,600 dola pou chak pye kare, epi pri yo depase 2,200 dola anba lavil. Pou achtè ki apresye orijin, atizana ak bon valè, 473 West 143rd Street se yon kay ki parèt, literalman, yon sèl fwa nan yon jenerasyon.

Vizit prive sou randevou.

In the 1890s, the architect Clarence True, who designed some of Manhattan's most distinguished townhouses, broke away from the steep-stooped brownstone rows of the Upper West Side. His signature townhouse introduced a carved limestone facade and a gracious low stoop just above the sidewalk. 473 West 143rd Street is one of four contiguous True townhouses on this block in the Hamilton Heights Historic District.
In the hands of one owner for several decades, the house has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously preserved rather than gutted. Original woodwork, pocket doors, soaring ceilings and seven fireplaces (four working) remain intact.
This five-story, 4,825 SF home sits on a 17' x 100' lot. The owner's residence opens into a foyer anchored by a period fireplace and a stately staircase. The upper floors hold five spacious bedrooms, a bonus walk-in closet/nursery and three and a half baths. A finished lower level adds another full bath, room for a gym and extra storage. A one-bedroom apartment with a private entrance provides rental income, or it can be easily reunited with the house to create a six-bedroom single-family home.
The home has not one but two landscaped outdoor spaces: a garden with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a planted roof terrace, open to the sky, with a second fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
Hamilton Grange, Hamilton Terrace and City College's landmark Gothic campus are moments away, and Midtown is a 15 minute ride by express subway.
It is offered at $808 per square foot, compared with $1,100 to $1,600 for recent Clarence True townhouse sales on the Upper West Side and more than $2,200 downtown. For the buyer who appreciates provenance, craftsmanship and value, 473 West 143rd Street is a house that comes along, literally, once in a generation.
