Come on up the hill and take a look at your new home overlooking Kingsbridge Heights and all that this amazing neighborhood has to offer. This 2 bedroom + full-floor loft home is just waiting for you to make your own. Beautiful hardwood floors line the home and gleam under the light pouring in through unobstructed windows and a classic, original skylight. There is a spacious kitchen with pantry that leads down to the spacious, dry basement that runs the length and width of the house. The furnace was installed in 2018. The primary bedroom is huge at over 19-feet in length, more than large enough for a King Size bed. It has double exposures with western and northern light and has a double wide closet. Down the hall the second bedroom is very amply sized and has a spacious closet as well. Upstairs, the loft is an open and clean 40-foot long by 25-foot wide (at the widest) space that would make a perfect office or workout room. There is a lot of potential square footage left in the F.A.R. that would provide the ability to build out the house in great ways. Please consult an architect or engineer to check for possibilities. This house is full of potential for someone looking for a custom dream home up on the hill. Sit and watch the sunlight fade over the neighborhood from the western facing porch, chockfull of original wood paneling on both the floor and ceiling. It spans almost the entirety of the house's 25-foot facade, more than enough space to spread out and take advantage of the light and views. The porch, as great as it is, doesn't even scratch the surface of how much outdoor space this house truly provides. Through the kitchen and out past the comfortable and spacious patio sits a triple-tiered green backyard that is almost 100 feet deep. What can you do with almost 3,000 square feet of private outdoor space? It would probably be easier to list the things you couldn't do. Rarely does such a prize come up for sale in NYC, let alone in a property so close to so much. With the 1 train a few blocks away, you are mere minutes from Manhattan. Van Cortlandt and Fort Independence Parks are chock full of green space and activities including trails, golf courses, ball fields, numerous playgrounds and more. This isn't an accident, as Kingsbridge Heights is one of the few streetscapes in the entire city that retains its original layout as put down by Fredrick Law Olmstead, whom designed Central and Prospect Parks. The curvy hills and leafy blocks among the step-streets retain a charm that is rare anywhere in the city today, let alone in The Bronx. Mere blocks away are Lehman College, Manhattan College, and all the shops at 231st Street. But it's not all bike trails and dog runs... The Bronx Ale House and Kingsbridge Social Club are just around the corner. One of the newer openings is local favorite Bronx Public with great food and a fantastic bar. The newly built Riverdale Crossing off 238th St. brings a BJ's to your fingertips. The brand new 2 story rebuild of the Van Cortlandt NYPL recently opened in 2019 with great fanfare. And of course, the NYC essentials: S&S Cheesecake and Lloyd's Carrot Cake bakeries will literally swell you up with Bronx Pride.
