This smart and elegant residence at Fieldston Gardens exemplifies the charm of the pre-war Classic Six layout, spanning approximately 1,400 square feet. Offering a captivating blend of timeless charm and modern conveniences, the residence boasts three bedrooms, including a maid's room, two baths,  plenty of storage, and ample space for privacy and comfortable living.

A welcoming foyer sets the tone, leading you into an airy living area adorned with built-in bookcases and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozying up during chilly evenings. The adjacent full dining room underscores the apartment's gracious layout and timelessness, and provides the perfect backdrop for dining and entertaining.

The windowed kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a country-size layout with a porcelain farmhouse-style sink, generous storage and counter space, and a large walk-in pantry, offering a surprise relic from the building's past - a dumbwaiter! Stainless steel appliances and a granite kitchen counter are offset by warm wood and additional butcher-block surfaces. An in-unit energy-efficient washer-dryer is tucked away and out of sight.  

The home's sunlit interior is complemented by east, south, and north exposures, offering an abundance of natural light highlighting beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout. Storage is abundant, with multiple closets, including a cedar closet, providing practical storage solutions. The owner's thoughtful upgrades include a ceiling fan in the second bedroom, Vitsoe bookshelves in the foyer/research nook, a premium handmade Italian faucet in the kitchen, and a chandelier in the dining room. Additionally, a large energy-efficient AC unit has been installed in the front of the apartment, ensuring year-round comfort.

The building itself is steeped in history, dating back to 1926, and boasts a live-in superintendent and a private park across the street. The solid financials and balanced budget of the co-op provide peace of mind to residents. Discounted garage parking is conveniently located nearby, and new windows were installed building-wide in 2020.

The neighborhood offers a perfect blend of old-New York charm and modern amenities. Indulge in a variety of culinary delights, from old-NYC staples to new restaurants, including Eater's best bagels, bakery, and favorites like Sabor, Tobala, and Michelin-noted Claudy's kitchen. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Wave Hill, Riverdale Park, and Van Cortlandt Park, while book lovers can explore the nearby Spuyten Duyvil and Kingsbridge NYPL library branches.
Several city and express bus stops are just around the corner, as well as proximity to the 1 train and Metro North Hudson line. Easy access to the George Washington Bridge means you can avoid the city traffic and escape for country weekends with ease. The Riverdale Y hosts a weekly Sunday market, with local favorites like Smok'd, The Wandering Que, Boogie Down Bronx Honey, Veggie Grub, and Irvington Delight.
