The renown architect, Horace Ginsbern designed the first Art Deco building in the Bronx. This one bedroom apartment is in one of the Ginsbern designed setback buildings. Through the decades the prewar details were maintained leaving the original Grand archway, basket weave floors throughout and a setback shelf. It has arches throughout, windows in each room, high ceilings, entry foyer with two large floor to ceiling closets. It is peaceful and gets a lot of afternoon sun. It has a state-of-the-art modern touch also. The dining room has a modern white wood sculptured wall that has a tremendous amount of shelving concealed behind it. One would never know this because there are no exposed seams or handles. The bathroom has been totally renovated with a deep soaking tub. The kitchen has a modern custom back splash, granite counters, custom Italian floors, handsome wood cabinets that are ceiling height, ample storage and a gracious dining area. You enter the living room through the Grand Arch, and there are double windows. An arch leads to the hallway and away from the common area. Then you enter the oversized bedroom with three windows with large closet. The maintenance is one of the lowest in the Riverdale Area and it includes heat and hot water. Sorry NO DOGS are allowed but CATS are welcome. The front of the building is adorned with seasonal roses on Trellis' in front of a period Riverdale brick wall. The entry path has hand laid Italian bricks, seasonal flora, plants and trees. At the end of the path is a hill with a Zen fountain surrounded by flora. The building entrance has an intercom.
