Property Description
An Elegant Pre-War Gem with the Feel of a House
Spanning more than 1,500 square feet, this classic "straight six" offers character, charm, and an exceptionally gracious layout. With only one shared wall and three exposures-including one overlooking the building's beautifully landscaped courtyard-the apartment is flooded with natural light, cross breezes, and plenty of greenery.
Centered around a working brick fireplace flanked by handsome, top-lit built-in bookshelves, the large living room is particularly inviting. In the winter, it is an ideal place to settle in by the fire for a movie or a good book. In the warmer months, open the updated windows and let in the light and breeze. Large south-facing windows in both the living and formal dining rooms make these spaces especially bright and welcoming.
If this sounds more like a house than an apartment, that is precisely how it feels. And not just any house, but one with nine-foot ceilings, oak parquet floors, prewar fixtures, chair and picture rails, and preserved moldings.
Further, the large kitchen features a porcelain farmer's sink, water filter, and backlit, custom-designed cabinetry, while opening to an XL pantry with abundant shelving and a working dumbwaiter used for daily garbage and recycling pickup by the building staff. Just off the kitchen is a private original staff quarters with its own full bathroom, east-facing courtyard exposures, and a tucked-away, full-size washer and vented dryer-an extraordinary convenience, of course, in a prewar apartment.
The two other bedrooms occupy the eastern end of the apartment, well separated from the entrance and living spaces. The primary bedroom features two designer closets and southern and eastern exposures that welcome the rising morning sun. The other large bedroom, with courtyard and eastern exposures, is designed with built-in closets, a dresser, shelving, and a children's desk. Both bedrooms are generously sized and have high-end ceiling fans. In all, the apartment offers exceptional storage, with five large closets.
Fieldston Gardens is a charming four-story, 70-unit Tudor-style cooperative designed and built in 1926. Because the building has only four stories and no elevators, it has maintained notably reasonable maintenance charges. Maintenance includes heat, water, and gas. Moreover, the building has recently undergone a comprehensive facade renovation, with the final work nearing completion. The roof and windows have also been updated in recent years. A live-in superintendent and full-time porter provide attentive, on-site service.
The courtyard and grounds at Fieldston Gardens are exceptionally lovely and professionally cared for by Harlem Horticulture. Further, one of the building's greatest treasures is its large, keyed private garden along 238th Street. It is a joyous shared space for grilling, picnicking, relaxing, and letting children play. This space, along with easy access to Central Riverdale shops and activities, contributes to the building's welcoming atmosphere. For a small charge of $25 per year, the building also offers a well-organized and easily accessible bike room.
With its generous rooms, abundant light, gracious prewar details, outdoor space, and the feeling of a true home rather than simply an apartment, this is a particularly special Riverdale offering.
