Built in 1850 as one of the five original estates in Riverdale, when Riverdale was laid out by Frederick Law Olmstead - the Designer of Central Park. This 3 story house has been beautifully renovated - high ceilings, windows that allow for lots of light to enter the rooms.
There are hardwood floors and lovely appointments: the eat-in-kitchen has a viking stove, garland grill and a sub-zero refrigerator. There is a wine cellar, central a/c, and a central stereo/surround sound system. The children's rooms have built-in desks and dressers. The living room with wood-burning fireplace is spacious and light. Next to it is a fabulous curved sun room. There is a large formal dining room, a library and powder room.
The entire house is warm; it invites entertaining.
The location is picturesque. An easy walk to Metro North.
