Craving more space indoors, green space outdoors and an atmosphere that's a little less frenetic? Welcome home to this charming house in North Riverdale, where the vibe is suburban while at the same time you are right around the corner from everything you love about NYC, including reasonable property taxes. Enter into the spacious sunroom and feast your eyes on the lovely layout. The Sun Room, Living Room, Dining Room are all adjacent to each other and a pair of pocket doors enable you to get the maximum use of the space. Allow them to disappear into their pockets and take full advantage of the contiguous space for a great big gathering. Sometimes you'll want them to reappear to allow a little quiet here and a little more action there. The choice is yours. You are never far from the very spacious and well-outfitted kitchen just behind the swinging door. Cooks and their helpers alike will enjoy taking full advantage of the recently purchased stainless steel appliances and the abundance of granite counters, enhanced further by a great big west facing window that allows the beautiful natural light and late afternoon golden glow to stream in. Upstairs are 3 very comfortably sized bedrooms, a linen closet and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom has 2 deep closets. The floors upstairs are brand new red oak hardwood, downstairs you have the original wood floors and they are all beautiful. Head down to the basement and you will be pleasantly surprised by the height of the ceiling. There is an enormous original workbench and a very large storage closet. Pivot left and step into the finished portion of the basement, including a laundry area. Because there is a door to the patio and yard, it offers more options for the space should you choose to use it as an office. The shared driveway allows you to park a car behind the house but should you want to, you will find ample street parking too since there is no alternate side parking. Finally, come Spring and Summer, enjoy the perfectly right-sized outdoor space for an in-city home. Pull out the garden chairs and fire up the barbecue, with potted herbs and cherry tomatoes right beside you to flavor the feast. Very close to the BX 7, BX 10 and express buses to the East and West sides of Manhattan, as well as the Rail Link to the Metro North Riverdale station. Just around the corner and along Riverdale and Mosholu Avenues you'll find all the services, stores and restaurants that add convenience and comfort to what you may need daily, occasionally or when you least expect it. Close to historic Van Cortlandt Park with its golf course, riding stables and museum, the Mosholu Avenue branch of the NYPL and the YM-YWHA, and minutes from Costco, Stew Leonard's, the Ridge Hill Shopping Plaza and points north. Imagine, finding all of this in NYC, all of which makes this charming house on this tree lined street a perfect home sweet home. Showings by appointment.
