860 Grand Concourse

Description

This top-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence presents a rare opportunity to restore or reimagine a distinctive prewar Art Deco apartment in estate condition on the Grand Concourse. An apartment with the identical layout recently sold for over $150,000 more than the current asking price. The exceptional layout begins with an entry hall leading into a generous dining foyer with space for a large table. From here, a graceful archway opens into the dramatic dropped living room. Located on the top floor, the living room features higher ceilings and taller windows than those on the floors below, bringing in excellent southern light. The unusually large, windowed eat-in kitchen stretches more than twenty feet and offers remarkable possibilities for redesign. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned along the private hallway, including a spacious corner primary suite highlighted by an oversized corner window with views toward the Grand Concourse and the landmark Bronx Supreme Courthouse. Both bathrooms are original, with striking burgundy fixtures and trim set against pale blush tile walls. Exceptional closet space is found throughout the apartment. Built in 1941, the cooperative offers a part-time doorman and live-in superintendent, along with a laundry room and bike storage. Recent capital improvements include a new roof and an updated dual-fuel boiler system. Transportation is convenient via the nearby 4 and D subway lines—providing access to Midtown Manhattan in under twenty minutes—as well as multiple bus routes, Metro-North stations, and major highways. Yankee Stadium, neighborhood parks, shopping, and parking garages are all nearby. Pets permitted. Pied-à-terre use allowed. Maximum 85% financing.
