Sunlight floods in through multiple windows and french doors which lead to private flagstone patios. The spacious eat-in kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances such as a Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf oven with 6-burner range, Miele dishwasher and a wine cooler. There is an abundance of custom cabinetry and pantry space as well as a large center island with Corian counter tops. The rest of this level includes a large media room w/gas fireplace, powder room, an office, and a bedroom w/en-suite bath currently used as a fitness room.

The 2nd floor is comprised of 5 bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. The expansive master suite features stunning cathedral ceilings, 2 walk-in closets, and an exquisite marble bathroom w/radiant heated floors, soaking tub and separate shower. There is also a washer/ dryer on this level.

Upstairs on the 3rd floor, you will find, a large multi-purpose room, additional guest bedroom and bath, plus ample closets and storage space.

Riverdale | Bronx

Quick Profile

Searching for a little bit of country that can be your home base, while still being able to take advantage of everything that NYC offers? Do you want a slower pace of living, focused on family and the great outdoors? Riverdale may be your perfect choice. Only about ten miles north of Midtown, Riverdale’s bucolic paradise feels like you have left the city entirely. You would never guess that you are still within the confines of the Bronx. 

Riverdale is primarily residential with a substantial number of single-family homes and corridors of high-rise apartments. There are many large parks, and they play a major role in the lives of the residents, as they are a primary source of entertainment. Clean, safe streets make Riverdale a great place to walk or cycle. There are trees everywhere, and the air is fresh and invigorating. It is a great place to raise a family, but more and more singles and young professionals are moving into Riverdale, in search of larger, less expensive apartments, and to enjoy the parks and the remarkable views of the Hudson River and Manhattan.  

While the grid layout of the rest of the city makes it easy to find your way from here to there, Riverdale chose to forego that structure, choosing instead to let the verdant streets twist and wind their way around natural obstacles in designs by Frederick Law Olmsted, of Central Park fame. Some streets are divided, with traffic in one direction being at an entirely different level than traffic headed the opposite way on the same street. This quirkiness adds a certain charm to this neighborhood.
