Restored Limestone Townhouse in the Heart of Hamilton Heights Welcome to 472 West 143rd Street, a beautifully restored Gothic-style limestone townhouse set on one of the most picturesque blocks in the Hamilton Heights Historic District. Originally built in 1896 by noted architect John P. Leo, this exceptional two-family residence spans approximately 5,300 square feet and blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades just moments from express transportation to Midtown. A comprehensive renovation has preserved the home s architectural integrity while introducing updated mechanicals, central heating and cooling with smart controls, and refined contemporary finishes. Wide-plank oak flooring, curated stone surfaces, and custom millwork complement original fireplaces, intricate wood detailing, and period design elements throughout. The owner s residence spans four floors and approximately 3,300 square feet, beginning on the parlor level. Enter via the classic stoop into a vestibule that opens to an expansive living and dining area stretching over 30 feet. High ceilings, an exposed brick feature wall, and a restored staircase create a dramatic yet inviting setting, with a bay window anchoring the dining space. At the rear, the south-facing kitchen is filled with natural light and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A statement marble island, generous cabinetry, and a full suite of premium stainless steel appliances including a six-burner Thermador range define the space. A full bathroom on this level adds convenience. Beyond the kitchen, the private garden offers a peaceful outdoor escape with bluestone paving, built-in seating, and landscaped greenery ideal for relaxing or hosting. The third floor is dedicated to a full-floor primary suite, featuring a spacious bedroom overlooking the garden, a second flexible room for an office or sitting area, and a walk-in closet connecting the spaces. The windowed bathroom includes a classic claw-foot tub, creating a calm and comfortable retreat. Upstairs, the fourth level includes two generously proportioned bedrooms, a skylit full bathroom, and a laundry area. One bedroom enjoys a bay window with charming streetscape views, while the other opens to a private terrace. The top floor provides additional flexibility as a fifth bedroom, workspace, or recreation area, with exposed brick and access to a roof terrace. A fully separate garden-level duplex apartment offers over 1,500 square feet of additional living space. Configured as a two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a finished lower level, it includes its own entrance, laundry, and multiple flexible-use areas ideal for rental income or extended living. Located in the historic enclave of Hamilton Heights, the home is surrounded by tree-lined streets and notable architecture, with easy access to neighborhood parks, including St. Nicholas Park and Jackie Robinson Park. The setting offers a unique balance of tranquility and connectivity within Manhattan.
