Isang makasaysayang townhouse na nakaharap nang tuwid sa Morris-Jumel Mansion

Isang pambihirang pagkakataon upang magkaroon ng maingat na inalagaan na single-family townhouse sa iconic Jumel Terrace, isa sa mga pinaka-maikling kwento at makasaysayang may arkitekturang mahahalagang tirahan sa New York City.

Binuo noong 1896 ng arkitekto na si Henri Fouchaux para kay William W. Watkins, ang tirahan na ito sa Romanesque Revival ay ang pinakamalaki sa limang bahay na nakilala na nakalinya sa tahimik na cobblestone street sa loob ng Jumel Terrace Historic District.

Ang tahanan ay nakatayo nang tuwid sa tapat ng protektadong parke sa paligid ng Morris-Jumel Mansion, na tinitiyak ang permanenteng open views, na may Sylvan Terrace na ilang hakbang lamang ang layo.

Sumasaklaw ng humigit-kumulang 3,500 square feet sa apat na buong palapag, kasama ang humigit-kumulang 800-square-foot na natapos na basement, nag-aalok ang tahanan ng malaking sukat at kakayahang umangkop sa iba't ibang antas nito. Tinatayang 18 talampakan ang lapad nito, nakatayo ito sa isang lote na 17.75 talampakan ang lapad at 100 talampakan ang haba, na may sukat ng gusali na humigit-kumulang 17.75 talampakan sa 58 talampakan at nagtatampok ng natatanging orihinal na detalye sa buong tahanan. Ang taunang buwis sa ari-arian ay $11,411.

Ang antas ng parlor ay nag-aalok ng mapagbigay na pagkakasunod-sunod ng pormal na mga silid na pamumuhay at pagkain na tinutukoy ng mga mataas na kisame, mga bay window, at magagandang nakaligtas na gawaing kahoy. Limang dekoratibong fireplace na may orihinal na nakatakip na tiled at ukit na mga mantel ng kahoy ang nagsisilbing pinakapuno ng makasaysayang karakter ng tahanan, sinusuportahan ng mga pocket door, wainscoting, stained glass, at mga shutter ng kahoy na sumasalamin sa sining ng huli ng ikalabing siyam na siglo.

Ang antas ng hardin ay nagtatampok ng living at dining area, isang eat-in kitchen na may granite countertops, isang externally vented range hood, at dalawang malalaking pantry cupboards, pati na rin isang buong banyo, na may direktang access sa likod na patio at hardin. Ang humigit-kumulang 600-square-foot na hardin ay may mga mature plantings na lumilikha ng isang pribadong panlabas na kanlungan na perpekto para sa pagkain at pakiki-entertain.

Ang mga itaas na palapag ay tahanan ng 4 karagdagang silid-tulugan, na nagdadala sa kabuuan sa 5 silid-tulugan, kasama ang isang pangunahing suite na may dressing room na nagtatampok ng orihinal na cabinetry ng oak. Isang skylit study na may loft bed ang nagdaragdag ng kakayahang umangkop para sa trabaho o mga bisita. Tatlong skylights ang nagdaragdag ng natural na ilaw sa kabuuan ng tahanan. Sa kabuuan, ang tahanan ay nag-aalok ng 4 na natapos na buong banyo, kabilang ang en suite, na maingat na inayos upang igalang ang makasaysayang estruktura habang nagbibigay ng modernong kaginhawahan. Dalawang banyo ang may mga Japanese Toto bidet toilets.

Ang natapos na ibabang antas ay nakaayos sa mga natatanging zon, kabilang ang isang home gym, silid ng media, imbakan, at isang buong banyo na may anim na jet at ulan na shower, na nagdadagdag ng spa-like functionality na bihirang matagpuan sa isang townhouse sa panahong ito.

Ang oryentasyon ng tahanan ay natatangi. Ang mga harapang silid ay nakaharap sa silangan nang tuwid patungo sa Morris-Jumel Mansion, na nag-aalok ng permanenteng open park views at hindi hadlang na liwanag ng pagsikat ng araw. Ang mga likurang silid ay nakikinabang mula sa kanlurang exposure na may liwanag ng paglubog ng araw, habang ang pinakamataas na harapang silid-tulugan ay nakakuha ng malalayong tanawin ng skyline ng Midtown.

Ang mga modernong sistema ay maingat na isinama, kabilang ang central heating at indibidwal na Fujitsu split A/C at heat units sa bawat silid, lahat ay na-update sa nakaraang limang taon.

Ang nakapaligid na komunidad ay nag-aalok ng mayamang halo ng kainan, kultura, at pang-araw-araw na kaginhawahan. Ang mga paborito sa malapit ay kinabibilangan ng Hilltop Park Alehouse, Bono Trattoria, Jin Ramen, Hand Pulled Noodle, at iba pang mga café sa kapitbahayan. Ang panlabas na libangan ay madaling ma-access sa Highbridge Park, kasama ang iconic na High Bridge walkway at cycling path, pati na rin ang Riverside Park at landscaped grounds na nakapaligid sa mansion.

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.
