Welcome to Fieldston Gardens, a quintessential 1926 Tudor-style gem in the heart of Riverdale. This classic prewar residence blends the timeless charm of a bygone era with the ease of modern living. Located on the first floor, this expansive 1,300 sq ft home offers five beautifully proportioned rooms and is bathed in natural light throughout, thanks to oversized windows in every room. The gracious layout includes a welcoming entry foyer, a sun-filled living room, and a formal dining room that flows seamlessly to the windowed and well-appointed kitchen—ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen features abundant cabinet and counter space, while the bathroom maintains its vintage appeal with original 1920s subway tile and period details. Two spacious bedrooms provide serene retreats. Thoughtful architectural details abound: nine-foot ceilings, intricate moldings, patterned hardwood floors, and even a working dumbwaiter—a charming touch. Storage is exceptional, with generous closets throughout. Fieldston Gardens is a well-run, pet-friendly co-op with solid financials, a live-in superintendent, stroller and bike storage, and dedicated storage units. Residents enjoy a beautifully landscaped garden and a private park—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or play. Ideally situated east of the Henry Hudson Parkway, with easy access to street and garage parking. Midtown Manhattan is just 30 minutes away via express bus, subway, car, or Metro-North Rail Link. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Riverdale history and enjoy elegant, prewar living in one of its most beloved communities.
