Family Home of Lin-Manuel Miranda Listed for $949K (StreetEasy):
Itâs a common misconception that Lin-Manuel Miranda grew up in Washington Heights. Although it is true that the wunderkind behind âHamiltonâ and âIn the Heightsâ was raised uptown, it was actually in Inwood. For decades, he and his parents Luis and Luz Miranda made their home in this vibrant enclave on the northernmost tip of Manhattan.
This month, an Inwood co-op formerly owned by the Miranda family, at 67 Park Terrace East, hit the market for $949,000. Lin-Manuel and his father Luis, a local political consultant, co-purchased the place back in 2008, the same year Lin-Manuelâs âIn the Heights,â premiered on Broadway and won a Tony.
The unit is a 3-bedroom, duplex penthouse measuring 1,125 square feet. Now done up in bright colors and offering tons of sunlight, the place exudes creativity and cheer. Off the upper level is a stunning rooftop terrace with wraparound views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. Itâs the kind of view that should inspire some serious love of Upper Manhattan.
Although Lin-Manuel didnât occupy the apartment with his parents â he was reportedly living downtown, closer to the theater where âIn the Heightsâ was being performed â his parents made their residence there until 2013, when they sold the unit for $780,000. Itâs unclear where the Mirandas ended up, but we do know that Lin-Manuel subsequently moved back to Upper Manhattan. [. . .]
