Yon Bijou Elegant Anvan Lagè ki Gen Sansasyon yon Kay

Avèk plis pase 1,500 pye kare, apatman klasik sa a ki gen sis pyès ofri karaktè, cham ak yon plan distribisyon ki ekstraòdinèman laj epi konfòtab. Li gen sèlman yon sèl mi li pataje ak yon lòt apatman ansanm ak twa fasad ki bay deyò—pami yo youn ki bay sou lakou bilding lan, ki byen amenaje ak bèl plant—sa ki fè apatman an benyen nan limyè natirèl, briz travèse epi anpil vejetasyon.

Gwo salon an, ki òganize toutotou yon chemine an brik ki fonksyone epi ki antoure ak bèl etajè liv entegre ki eklere depi anlè, vrèman envitan. Nan sezon fredi, se yon kote ideyal pou chita bò dife a pandan w ap gade yon fim oswa li yon bon liv. Nan mwa ki pi cho yo, louvri fenèt yo ki te modènize yo pou kite limyè ak briz antre. Gwo fenèt ki bay nan sid nan salon an ak nan sal manje fòmèl la fè espas sa yo patikilyèman klere epi akeyan.

Si sa sonnen plis tankou yon kay pase yon apatman, se egzakteman konsa li santi l. Epi se pa nenpòt kay, men youn ki gen plafon nèf pye wotè, planche pakè an pye bwadchenn, ekipman anvan lagè, moulir pou chèz ak pou tablo, ansanm ak moulir orijinal ki konsève.

Anplis, gwo kwizin nan gen yon lavabo porselèn pou fèm, yon filtè dlo ak kabinè ki fèt sou mezi e ki gen ekleraj dèyè yo. Li louvri sou yon gwo gadmanje ki gen anpil etajè ansanm ak yon ti asansè sèvis ki toujou fonksyone, ke pèsonèl bilding lan itilize chak jou pou ranmase fatra ak materyèl pou resiklaj. Jis toupre kwizin nan, gen yon ansyen chanm prive pou anplwaye ki gen pwòp twalèt konplè pa li, fenèt ki bay sou lakou a nan direksyon lès, ansanm ak yon machin pou lave tout gwosè ak yon sechwa ki gen sòti pou vantilasyon, byen kache—yon konvenyans ekstraòdinè, natirèlman, nan yon apatman anvan lagè.

De lòt chanm yo nan pati lès apatman an, byen separe ak antre a ak espas k ap sèvi pou viv yo. Chanm prensipal la gen de pandri ki fèt pa designer, ansanm ak fenèt ki bay nan sid ak nan lès, kote solèy maten an ki ap leve antre avèk chalè li. Lòt gwo chanm nan, ki gen fenèt ki bay sou lakou a ak nan direksyon lès, fèt ak pandri entegre, yon komòd, etajè ak yon biwo pou timoun. Toude chanm yo gen anpil espas epi yo gen vantilatè plafon kalite siperyè. An total, apatman an ofri yon kantite espas depo ekstraòdinè, ak senk gwo pandri.

Fieldston Gardens se yon koperativ ki gen cham, ki gen kat etaj ak 70 inite, nan stil Tudor, ki te fèt epi konstwi an 1926. Paske bilding lan gen sèlman kat etaj epi li pa gen asansè, li toujou gen frè antretyen ki konsiderableman rezonab. Frè antretyen yo gen ladan chofaj, dlo ak gaz. Anplis, bilding lan fèk sibi yon renovasyon konplè fasad li, epi dènye travay yo prèske fini. Twati a ak fenèt yo te mete ajou nan dènye ane yo tou. Yon sipèentandan k ap viv nan bilding lan ak yon gadyen a plen tan bay sèvis atantif sou plas.

Lakou a ak teren Fieldston Gardens yo bèl anpil epi Harlem Horticulture ap pran swen yo avèk pwofesyonalis. Anplis, youn nan pi gwo trezò bilding lan se gwo jaden prive li ki gen aksè ak kle, sou 238th Street. Se yon espas pataje ki plen lajwa, kote moun ka fè griyad, fè piknik, detann yo epi kite timoun yo jwe. Espas sa a, ansanm ak aksè fasil pou ale nan boutik ak aktivite Central Riverdale yo, kontribye nan atmosfè akeyan bilding lan. Pou yon ti frè 25 dola pa ane, bilding lan ofri tou yon sal bisiklèt ki byen òganize epi ki fasil pou jwenn.

Avèk chanm li yo ki laj, anpil limyè, bèl detay anvan lagè, espas deyò ak sansasyon yon vrè kay olye de yon senp apatman, se yon pwopriyete Riverdale ki vrèman espesyal.

An Elegant Pre-War Gem with the Feel of a House
Spanning more than 1,500 square feet, this classic "straight six" offers character, charm, and an exceptionally gracious layout. With only one shared wall and three exposures-including one overlooking the building's beautifully landscaped courtyard-the apartment is flooded with natural light, cross breezes, and plenty of greenery.

Centered around a working brick fireplace flanked by handsome, top-lit built-in bookshelves, the large living room is particularly inviting. In the winter, it is an ideal place to settle in by the fire for a movie or a good book. In the warmer months, open the updated windows and let in the light and breeze. Large south-facing windows in both the living and formal dining rooms make these spaces especially bright and welcoming.

If this sounds more like a house than an apartment, that is precisely how it feels. And not just any house, but one with nine-foot ceilings, oak parquet floors, prewar fixtures, chair and picture rails, and preserved moldings.

Further, the large kitchen features a porcelain farmer's sink, water filter, and backlit, custom-designed cabinetry, while opening to an XL pantry with abundant shelving and a working dumbwaiter used for daily garbage and recycling pickup by the building staff. Just off the kitchen is a private original staff quarters with its own full bathroom, east-facing courtyard exposures, and a tucked-away, full-size washer and vented dryer-an extraordinary convenience, of course, in a prewar apartment.

The two other bedrooms occupy the eastern end of the apartment, well separated from the entrance and living spaces. The primary bedroom features two designer closets and southern and eastern exposures that welcome the rising morning sun. The other large bedroom, with courtyard and eastern exposures, is designed with built-in closets, a dresser, shelving, and a children's desk. Both bedrooms are generously sized and have high-end ceiling fans. In all, the apartment offers exceptional storage, with five large closets.

Fieldston Gardens is a charming four-story, 70-unit Tudor-style cooperative designed and built in 1926. Because the building has only four stories and no elevators, it has maintained notably reasonable maintenance charges. Maintenance includes heat, water, and gas. Moreover, the building has recently undergone a comprehensive facade renovation, with the final work nearing completion. The roof and windows have also been updated in recent years. A live-in superintendent and full-time porter provide attentive, on-site service.

The courtyard and grounds at Fieldston Gardens are exceptionally lovely and professionally cared for by Harlem Horticulture. Further, one of the building's greatest treasures is its large, keyed private garden along 238th Street. It is a joyous shared space for grilling, picnicking, relaxing, and letting children play. This space, along with easy access to Central Riverdale shops and activities, contributes to the building's welcoming atmosphere. For a small charge of $25 per year, the building also offers a well-organized and easily accessible bike room.

With its generous rooms, abundant light, gracious prewar details, outdoor space, and the feeling of a true home rather than simply an apartment, this is a particularly special Riverdale offering.
