And Ulysses is correct, amenities are sorely lacking in this immediate area. Although the local C-Town supermarket has improved significantly of late, the restaurant and entertainment scene is sorely lacking. There is the recently opened Heights Tavern which is a branch of Harlem Tavern and is just as good and very popular. Margo's is down on West 157th St. & B'way along with Taszo over on Edward Morgan Place. But the area really needs more and more. On the other hand, this townhouse (I'm reluctant to call the houses in this area brownstone, 'cause brownstone they ain't) this house does look directly at Roger Morris Park and the Morris-Jumel Mansion. The lovely Sylvan Terrace is half a block away and the lovely Marjorie Elliott still holds court at 555 which is just one block south. <br /><br />Recently the Morris Jumel Mansion has been having art installation shows from local artists and recently local musicians have been encouraged to come to the Mansion and hold concerts. So with time things will look up. Its a historically significant nabe and that I'm sure is a selling point. Oh and did I forget the public transportation nexus just can't be beat.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558758450413912484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-6592198635930719302014-06-03T16:56:21.786-04:002014-06-03T16:56:21.786-04:00Beautiful house, but above 145th street might be a...Beautiful house, but above 145th street might be a tough sell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
