This converted alcove studio (Jr 1-bedroom) apartment has been renovated with a door separating the living room from a bedroom/bath suite.  The kitchen has microwave and dishwasher, white cabinetry, stone counter tops and back splash with a silver glint of mica in the stone.  There are hall and bedroom closets.  The renovated bath is done in sand-colored tile, with stone counter at the sink. The walls are off-white with contrasting white door frames and moldings, and  floors are hardwood.  Views are open, over the roofs of Riverdale Avenue shops toward a hillside.  The building offers gym room, private outdoor courtyard and rental storage units.  Express and local buses stop just across the street, and there is a choice of shops and fine local restaurants within one block.  OK to purchase as pied-a-terre.
