This apartment immediately stands out with its brand new porcelain tile flooring, adding a sleek, modern touch while enhancing durability and style throughout the space. One of the most unique and desirable features is the nearly 10 foot high ceilings, a rare offering only available on the first four floors, which dramatically enhance the sense of openness and make every room feel even more expansive.
The wide galley kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring updated stainless steel appliances, perfect for cooking and entertaining. The flexible layout allows for a designated dining area, or the space can easily be converted into a home office or even a second room to suit your lifestyle needs. Storage will never be an issue, as the apartment boasts abundant closet space, further amplified by the elevated ceiling height.
The generously sized bedroom can comfortably accommodate any bed size and still offers enough room for additional furniture or a work from home setup. Natural light floods the apartment through large windows in every room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere all day long.

Quick Profile
Tucked away on a hillside overlooking the convergence of the Harlem and Hudson Rivers, Spuyten Duyvil (pronounced SPY-tun DIE-vul) is a quiet, primarily residential enclave. It is one of the most beautiful places to live, and yes, it is in the Bronx! Spuyten Duyvil is hilly, with outcroppings of the native dolomite bedrock of the area, winding lanes, and is heavily treed, almost forest-like in many areas. You will wake to birdsong, and may see smaller wildlife and the occasional deer. The neighborhood’s Hudson River shoreline offers dramatic views of the New Jersey Palisades, and if you look northward, you can see all the way up river to the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Although it has long been considered a retreat from the city for older people, Spuyten Duyvil is now seeing an influx of families and young professionals, moving north to escape the close confines and higher prices of the City, trading those for affordable housing in closer proximity to nature.. There are reasonably priced housing options, including co-op apartments, condos, and even single-family homes in colonial and Tudor styles. There are some high-rise buildings with doormen in the southeastern corner of the neighborhood. The most desirable buildings are the red brick mid-rise buildings along Palisade Avenue, offering stunning Hudson River views. Perhaps the most unusual building is the Villa Charlotte Bronte, a 17-unit co-op building designed to mimic an Italian villa.
The commercial area of Spuyten Duyvil is small, and largely confined to a strip mall-like group of stores on Knolls Crescent. There are a few restaurants that are frequented by residents and a smattering of grocery stores. Three sizeable parks in the neighborhood offer recreational activities and dog-friendly areas.
With a relatively convenient commute to Manhattan, Spuyten Duyvil gives residents the perfect mix of urban access with relaxed, suburban living. If you work in the City, or just want to spend the day shopping or sight-seeing, you can choose the Metro-North, express buses, or catch the 1 train from Marble Hill, just a quick local bus ride away. You can be in Midtown or at Grand Central Terminal in about 30 to 60 minutes.
