Property Details
Description
On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this well cared for 2-family home with 2-car spaces and splendid large yard, is an opportunity not to be missed. The owner personally built this home brick by brick in the early 1960's that at one point, housed 3 generations. The owner has lovingly maintained it ever since erecting this serene residence. This is an opportunity to own, either as an investment or private home with income. Located on a lovely, quiet street in leafy Riverdale, there are 2 units with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room and dining room. Below the first floor unit is a full built-out basement that served as the perfect gathering space by the current owners. The garage was converted into the laundry room, but could be reconverted. There is plenty of room to reconfigure and fit a washer and dryer. An addition was built on to the side of the house that has served as a recreational area. This home has the charm that comes with a home built by the owner. The large, well-tended outdoor space with beautiful trees enhances a sense of homey, peaceful living. There are abundant windows, closets, and storage, including an outdoor shed. The upper floors rooms are filled light and the front and back windows have open views. Riverdale is a special corner or New York City. Van Cortlandt Park, Riverdale Stables and Wave Hill are within minutes. Manhattan is accessible either by a 25 minute train to Grand Central with shuttle service, 2 express buses 1 block away to the Westside and Eastside, or the 1 train. Local bus stops are also one block away. North Riverdale continues to flourish with food shopping and restaurant options close by.
