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.
