Spacious two unit home in Van Cortlandt Village!
This beautiful home with high ceilings, enormous rooms, and a garage is nestled on historic Cannon Place, a street preserved in the Historic District of Van Cortlandt Village.
Up the stairs the entry opens to an expansive and airy living space with very tall ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors. Open and loft-like it is a grand room that provides enough space for multiple uses.
At the front of the room sits an open and bright sun room that overlooks all of Kingsbridge and Spuyten Duyvil with western and northern exposures. This room serves as a cozy haven and would make an enviable reading room or office with amazing sunset views. Continuing into the home there is more than enough space for a full living room with all the furniture you might need under track lighting. Past this space is more than ample room for a full dining area just outside the kitchen.
The kitchen is in its own room and shows off a beautiful vintage stainless steel counter and cupboards. Contemporary stainless oven and refrigerator don't infringe on the vintage charm but ensure modern day functionality from the very day you move in. The half bathroom has washer/dryer that is vented out its window.
The backdoor leads to a private yard perfect for entertaining, gardening, grilling or just relaxing and enjoying the quiet atmosphere.
Up the stairs you'll find three large bedrooms with high ceilings and amazing light exposure, in addition to the full windowed bathroom. There are hardwood floors throughout and more than enough closet space to keep all your things organized and tidy.
The primary bedroom has an extra amount of space that would be perfect for a dressing area, a couch or perhaps an office, again with stunning westward views over the neighborhood.
One level down is a great studio apartment that would serve as a useful rental to keep income coming in or use it as spill-over space or guest rooms. This space also has access to the beautiful yard.
There is a street level garage with electric door that is an absolutely crucial amenity in this neighborhood where parking is always in demand.
Just 4 Blocks from the 1 train at 238th Street and 1 block to the BX1, BX2, BX3 bus and BXM3 Express Bus to Manhattan, this neighborhood has so much to offer. Van Cortlandt and Fort Independence Parks are chock full of green space and activities including trails, golf courses, ball fields, numerous playgrounds and more. This isn't an accident as Van Cortlandt Village is one of the few streetscapes in the entire city that retains its original layout as put down by Fredrick Law Olmstead whom designed Central and Prospect Parks. The curvy hills and leafy blocks among the step-streets retain a charm that is rare anywhere in the city today, let alone in The Bronx.
Mere blocks away are Lehman College, Manhattan College, and all the shops at 231st Street. But it's not all bike trails and dog runs The Bronx Ale House and Kingsbridge Social Club are just around the corner. One of the newer openings is local favorite Bronx Public with great food and a fantastic bar. The newly built Riverdale Crossing off 238th St. brings a BJ's to your fingertips. The brand new 2 story rebuild of the Van Cortlandt NYPL recently opened in 2019 with great fanfare. And of course, the NYC essentials: S&S Cheesecake and Lloyd's Carrot Cake bakeries will literally swell you up with Bronx Pride.
