473 W 143rd St Unit TH, Unit TH

In the 1890s, the architect Clarence True, who designed some of Manhattan's most distinguished townhouses, broke away from the steep-stooped brownstone rows of the Upper West Side. His signature townhouse introduced a carved limestone facade and a gracious low stoop just above the sidewalk. 473 West 143rd Street is one of four contiguous True townhouses on this block in the Hamilton Heights Historic District. In the hands of one owner for several decades, the house has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously preserved rather than gutted. Original woodwork, pocket doors, soaring ceilings and seven fireplaces (four working) remain intact. This five-story, 4,825 SF home sits on a 17' x 100'
