Rarely available, this 10-room home provides ample space for comfortable living and entertaining in a beaucolic setting. Bring your architect and create the home of your dreams!
The main entrance hallway leads to a sprawling central gallery with living room, library and dining room. The hallway continues to a private wing of bedrooms and baths. The northeast corner primary bedroom is captivating and bright. A second spacious, northwest facing bedroom shares a bath accessible by a connecting passageway. There is a third bedroom with another full-size bathroom.
The windowed kitchen has access via the entrance hall or service door. Two former staff rooms flank a third bathroom (missing its tub). One of the rooms may be used as a breakfast room and the other a 4th bedroom, laundry, study or home office. A butler’s pantry provides additional space for everyday sundries, dinnerware, crystal and storage. This service hall has a convenient swinging door that opens to the formal dining room with its original wainscotting and French doors.

“The vast majority of the buildings within the Audubon Historic District are highly intact, retaining the vibrant architectural details and character that attracted residents to the area a century ago. The curving streets and dramatic vistas that result from the hilly topography continue to define the neighborhood as a distinctive enclave of apartment buildings with a powerful sense of place. Elaborate cornices are generally of pressed metal and sometimes incorporate green Mission-style tile, such as the Renaissance Revival style Grinnell” (Report: New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission 5/12/09).
Transportation choices include: the #1 train (157th /B’way), the C train (155th/St Nicholas), and M4, M5 and BX6 buses at Broadway. Quick auto access at 158th to the West Side Hwy., the GW Bridge, and across 155th Street to Yankee Stadium, FDR Drive and the Major Deegan Expwy.
