Now’s your best chance to live in an Old World-style home on a secret, ‘enchanting’ Manhattan street

The charming wood-frame abodes all have matching yellow facades, green shutters and brown stairs. They also all line the cobblestoned block, which sits on a grid-breaking stretch between 160th and 161st streets — and stand on a slightly elevated perch that shields it from surrounding noise.

Developed in 1882 as housing for working-class residents, the homes today are landmarked and part of the Jumel Terrace Historic District. In 2021, as The Post reported, the block saw a number of homes there up for sale or rent.

The one currently listed, 11 Sylvan Terrace, is the only one up for sale on the block, according to StreetEasy records. This one offers a mix of modern amenities and historic details, as well as enviably low taxes ($461 a month) and energy costs (approximately $200 a month), the latter thanks significantly to rooftop solar panels, according to the listing, held by Teresa Alessandro of Compass.
