This massive home boasts five bedrooms and six full baths, inclusive of the lovely garden apartment! With approximately 4,142 square feet top to bottom and a glorious planted garden it is a true oasis! The Parlor Floor brings you back in time with the warm and welcoming foyer and traditional front and back parlor areas with full dining room, all graced by decorative fireplaces with intricate woodworking and tiles. The gracious kitchen overlooks the garden with a deck where one can enjoy a morning coffee or share a meal with a friend. Up the staircase you will find a large, inviting and elegant suite with a bay window and traditional dressing room with bath along with a second bath and bedroom! Up you go again to find two more spacious bedrooms and baths, one with a sunny skylight, and a washer/dryer. The Garden Floor of this home boasts a separate one bedroom apartment accessible both from the exterior front garden and the interior staircase.

According to Ephemeral New York, nestled in the quiet stretch of Hamilton Heights from 141st to 144th Hamilton Terrace sits, named for this founding father, "like a secret passage lined with townhouse loveliness". The street takes its name from Hamilton Grange, Hamilton's former country house built in 1802 that currently sits atop a hill at West 141st Street. Perfectly perched on this historic block sits 40 Hamilton Terrace, a jewel in the crown! Approx. 4142 interior SQFT total / Approx. 3458 interior SQFT w/o basement.
