Classic two bedroom unit with wainscoting and hardwood floors exudes timeless elegance and charm.
You can see the charm and character of this unit as soon as you walk in. The long hallway, hardwood floors treated floor moldings, high ceilings and tastefully done lighting.
The first room you see is the bathroom. Fully upgraded with stone floors, frameless shower door, full size tub, windowed with pedestal sink. Newly replaced medicine cabinet as well.
The next is one of the two split bedrooms. This one has the original double wide closet that is almost new. Restored to its original oak with generous overheard cabinet space.
Once you pass this room you enter the large dining room. Also windowed with a gorgeous fixture to center your 6-8 dinner table. Look at the details of the original floor moldings and wainscoting.
The kitchen, off the dining room, has the original china cabinet. Again, fully restored to its original wood with glass panes. It also has the double slide out cutting boards. This very good size kitchen can also be made larger. (Ask me how?) The kitchen also features a washer, stainless steel appliances, a deep basin and good countertop space. And is very well lit.
The living room is separated by two XL French doors with glass panes. Incredibly beautiful and allowing natural sunlight to pass through both rooms. This room can also double as a third bedroom. Here you will notice the fully restored original cast iron radiator.
Off of the living room is your second bedroom. Unlike the other rooms, this one has a fully painted double wide closet. Currently used as a home office, this room can also fit a queen size bedroom and some furniture.
The building has an elevator, is self-managed and is in great financial shape. All banks will lend in this property. The maintenance is low and very competitive for the neighborhood.
The area amenities are the major shopping corridor on Broadway, numerous restaurants, eateries, coffee shops; also a short ride to the Bronx Terminal Market for big box stores, and booked by two highways (IS87 and the Henry Hudson). There are numerous city buses along with the 1 and C train nearby. Here you are a short walk to Riverside walking path, Riverbank Park, Jumel Mansion and nearby museums. What a bargain of a place and a short ride to lower Manhattan.
This is an HDFC with 120% AMI. The coop will allow 90% financing and only consider income but not assets. This should also be a primary residence. Gifting, co-purchasing and guarantors are allowed.
