A Timeless Kingsbridge Classic - Beautifully Crafted in 1935!
Welcome to this exceptional solid-brick pre-war residence, a true testament to the craftsmanship, architectural beauty, and enduring character of a bygone era. Nestled in the historic Kingsbridge neighborhood, this distinctive home offers over 2,500 square feet of living space, featuring soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, hand-hewn exposed beams, elegant stained-glass details, and an abundance of original architectural charm rarely found today.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming heated foyer with a convenient coat closet. The gracious living room immediately captures your attention with its dramatic ceiling height, exposed beams, and intricate plaster detailing. Just beyond, an elevated formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining family and friends.
The generously proportioned, windowed kitchen offers an excellent opportunity to create your dream culinary space while preserving the home's timeless character. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright, sun-filled sunroom, offering additional flexibility and convenience. A washer and dryer are currently located here, with the option to relocate them to the basement. A conveniently situated powder room completes this level.
Direct access to the spacious, level backyard makes outdoor living and entertaining effortless. Whether you envision beautiful gardens, summer barbecues, or your own private outdoor retreat, the possibilities are endless.
The upper level features three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The inviting primary bedroom is particularly special, showcasing soaring ceilings and windows on two exposures, filling the room with natural light. Its private en-suite bathroom features a window, excellent ventilation, and beautiful original 1930s tilework that preserves the home's authentic period charm.
The additional full bathroom is equally spacious, offering the opportunity to accommodate both a bathtub and a separate shower while maintaining its classic character. For added convenience, there is also the possibility of installing a washer and dryer on this level.
The finished basement, conveniently accessible from the dining area, provides exceptional additional living space. Featuring newly finished flooring, a full bathroom, and a secondary kitchen, this versatile area can accommodate a variety of needs, including a recreation room, home office, guest accommodations, or additional entertaining space. Its convenient access to the backyard makes it especially appealing for summer gatherings and extended living arrangements.
Additional amenities include a one-car garage, currently used primarily for storage, and a private side driveway.
The home's exterior is equally impressive, featuring beautiful multi-toned classic brickwork and a distinctive front entrance. The handsome original-style front door, complete with a striking lion-head door knocker, offers a memorable welcome and reflects the home's timeless architectural character.

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.
