This Arts and Crafts-style home has been refreshed while retaining all of its original 1920’s charm. Upon entering the main foyer, you’ll notice the unique, marble-clad walls, an homage to the days when Marble Hill was being mined for its dolomitic marble- quarried for the federal buildings in lower Manhattan when New York was the first capital of the United States in the 1780s.
The second floor is a gorgeous example of arts and crafts interiors from this time period, and retains much of the original millwork, windows, and parquet flooring. Original lighting fixtures, window panes and trim, door hardware, unique built-ins and cabinetry offer old world charm while leaving room for personalization for a new owner.
The second floor unit is the main living space of the home and includes the kitchen, formal dining room, living room, and the sitting room- which boasts a gorgeous brick, wood-burning fireplace and original cast-iron stove. The residence includes four bedrooms, one bathroom, and direct access to the backyard and cellar. You’ll find charm all around, from the primary bedroom’s huge bay windows to the octagonal-shaped bedroom with tall glass windows overlooking the backyard.
The first floor is currently a tenant occupied rental apartment. It is a two bedroom, one bathroom unit, with a large living room and sitting room (currently converted to a third bedroom). This unit also features a large eat-in kitchen.
Marble Hill, a neighborhood steeped in history, is a hilly enclave detached from the rest of Manhattan and boasts tree-lined streets, creating a peaceful atmosphere for living. Despite its serene surroundings, Marble Hill is still conveniently located near the city and all its conveniences, with both the 1 subway line and MetroNorth train station just a few blocks away, plus easy access to local buses and highways.
Take advantage of the beautiful parks in the area, including Van Cortlandt and Ewen Parks, or spend the day exploring the nearby shopping and dining options on Broadway, Riverdale, and Johnson Avenues. This neighborhood is also near several prestigious schools, including Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School, The Fieldston School, and Bronx Science.
