860 Grand Concourse

Description

Set atop a distinguished landmarked building in the Concourse Historic District, this top-floor corner unit is a pristine three-bedroom, two-bathroom floor-through residence offering exposures to the east and west, with a corner-windowed living room that also welcomes brilliant southern light. From its elevated position, enjoy open views of the celebrated landmark Art Deco Bronx Supreme Courthouse, the George Washington Bridge, and the iconic Yankee Stadium. A gracious entry foyer sets the tone, opening to a dropped living room with an extra-high ceiling, framed by an elegant archway—an architectural hallmark of the era. Custom sound-reducing windows with UV-rated glass and gallery-quality shades create a serene retreat while showcasing the dynamic cityscape beyond. The home has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully upgraded. Skim-coated walls and ceilings provide a refined finish, while the original hardwood floors, painstakingly refinished in a natural matte sheen, highlight the apartment’s timeless character. Restored picture rails throughout conceal wiring and have been used to hang the owners’ art collection, keeping the walls pristine. The windowed, double-exposure eat-in kitchen balances functionality with elevated design, featuring custom, high-end solid cherry cabinetry, Bosch appliances, and abundant storage. Distinctive light fixtures from Design Within Reach are found throughout the unit, enhancing the home’s cohesive design aesthetic. Both full bathrooms have been elegantly renovated, with the hall bath appointed with Grohe and Moen fixtures, a Duravit soaking tub, and a coordinating sink. This landmarked building offers the comfort of a part-time doorman and the convenience of a live-in superintendent. Perfectly located near the D and 4 trains, multiple bus lines, and an express bus to Manhattan, the home provides excellent connectivity—less than 20 minutes to Midtown! Two Metro-North stations and major highways are also nearby. With shopping, garages, and four neighborhood parks within easy reach, this penthouse is a rare offering: an opportunity to own a meticulously renovated, mint-condition residence of this caliber that is almost never available. Make this historic residence your own! Pied-à-terre use and pets allowed. Maximum 85% financing.
