Your pied à terre on Sugar Hill. Perched on the highest elevation in Manhattan, the neighborhood feels like a slice of Colonial Williamsburg airlifted into the city. The townhouse looks at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, George Washington’s headquarters for 1776′s Battle of Harlem Heights and home to the infamous grand horizontal, Madame Jumel.At the time Duke Ellington dubbed the “The Crown of Sugar Hill,” the immediate neighborhood was also home to W.E.B. DuBois, Paul Robeson, Count Basie, Lena Horne, Coleman Hawkins, Teddy Wilson, Johnny Hodges and dozens of Jazz Masters. The secluded self-contained, well appointed garden apartment shares the garden floor and private entrance of Jumel Terrace Books, an antiquarian bookshop specializing in Harlem Heights' history - from its roots in Revolution through the jazz-age Renaissance to its very Now now. It still swings. Rooms are furnished in a comfortable, eclectic mix with bookish comforts. The apartment functions for a single, double or triple, complete with a private entrance and garden. In apartment: a firm antique double bed and a single/day bed, full bath, and kitchen, coffee/tea facilities, welcome food supplies (cereal, fresh gourmet coffee, teas, milk/half and half, fresh fruit), air conditioning, desk amenities, cable television, internet access & a Bose MP3 player. We pride ourselves on the quality of our mattresses. All bedding has high thread counts, is hypo-allergenic and protected. For your reading pleasure there are excellent collections on New York City, Harlem & horiticulture.The single room upstairs has a 19th century Queen sized brass bed, a domestic arts and local history library, private bath, desk amenities, internet access, cable television, ceiling fan and a garden view.
