278 Alexander Ave #1, Bronx, NY 10454

278 Alexander Avenue is a landmarked, two-family home in the heart of Mott Haven's primary historic district. The layout here is a 6 bed, two and a half bath owner's triplex over a one bed, one bath garden apartment encompassing over 3,600 square feet of interior living space in total. . Built in 1864, these blocks of homes are believed to be the oldest settled area of The Bronx. They were landmarked for their French 2nd Empire influences, and original details like cast iron gates and fences. No work is needed here. The interior of this 20' × 40' home has been done to the nines with top of the line finishes. Red Oak, natural hardwood floors run throughout the home making the large spaces feel warm and intimate. In the chef's kitchen you'll find beautifully crafted soapstone island and countertops surrounding a stunning Bertazzoni 6-burner range. The formal dining room opens onto a peaceful deck overlooking the rear garden while upstairs you'll find large, light-filled bedrooms, two walk-in closets, skylights and lots of additional storage. This property represents one of the last chances you'll have to own a mid-19th century, brick facade townhouse of this size, so close to the heart of Manhattan in this price range. Mott Haven is one of the most exciting neighborhoods in the boroughs right now thanks to the work of longtime residents and the spate of new development along the waterfront here which are bringing over 5,000 luxury apartments and a new waterfront park to the community. 278 Alexander is a short stroll away from the neighborhood's Restaurant Row where you'll find a variety of eateries, pubs and cafes. All of this within a 15 minute commute to Grand Central Terminal.
