1926 TOP-FLOOR WALK-UP STUNNER SPRAWLING PRE-WAR RESIDENCE - A SUBURBAN HOME IN THE CITY!

Just beyond the northern tip of Manhattan Island, along the banks of the Hudson, lies a picturesque village filled with new coffee shops, eclectic restaurants, and bars right outside your door, close to public transportation and the Fieldston School of Ethical Culture.

A new offering at Fieldston Gardens is yours for the taking. Not seen on the market since 1972, this unique apartment is straight out of a Woody Allen film and evokes a time gone by rarely seen in Riverdale. It is complete with a Conservatory bathed in light to relax and enjoy quiet weekends listening to jazz or classical music softly while reading your favorite new novel or leafing through the latest copy of Elle Decor while enjoying your morning coffee or cocktails in the afternoon.

Upon entering this gracious and old-world masterpiece, you're ushered into a proper foyer, indicating that vast space and character are in store as you explore the myriad of rooms unfolding one after another and plan your dream home in your mind's eye.

Four "chambers," or bedrooms as they are now called, with generous closet space ( 9 in total ) ; two and one-half vintage bathrooms, extra high ceilings, new windows, hardwood floors, a formal dining room, conservatory atrium-type office space/lounge, and " maids" room, which now functions as a breakfast room right off the expansive kitchen with a working dumb waiter. A working Wood-Burning fireplace to cozy up to in the winter months in the living room, and oh, even a Washer and Dryer of your very own--No more schlepping to the basement!

It is difficult to sum up all the details of this masterpiece of old-world design in words; it must be experienced first-hand to fully appreciate the beauty and sense of history that washes over you upon visiting #40.
