860 Grand Concourse APT 7N, Bronx, NY 10451

NEW TO MARKET! This extremely handsome, top floor, three bedroom, two bathroom home is the jewel of the Grand Concourse. Its located in a classic Art Deco cooperative in the heart of the Grand Concourse Historic District. The sweeping views west to Washington Heights, New Jersey and south to the midtown Manhattan skyline are truly stunning. From the large Living Room and king-sized Master Bedroom windows you can see the George Washington Bridge, Yankee Stadium, the exquisite, landmarked gold limestone Bronx County Court House, two parks Joyce Kilmer Park, with its famous Lorelei Fountain statue, and the hilly and leafy escape of Franz Sigel Park. The views dazzle during daytime and sparkle at night. The additional two king-sized, quiet, bedrooms face the rear of the building allowing for a sleepy retreat. The eat-in kitchen and entry gallery, large enough for a dining table make this home truly irresistible. Many fantastic upgrades and thoughtful renovations have been made over the past 10 years. All original electrical wires were replaced, all picture rails and baseboards were removed, new woodwork installed, replicating the original detail. The surface of every wall and ceiling was sanded to remove all paint and resurfaced until silky-smooth. Every door frame and window frame was stripped down to the smooth original metal. The beautiful wrought-iron hand railings leading into the elegant sunken living room were completely stripped and elegantly restyled in high-gloss black. All doors were replaced with heavy, solid, sound-baffling doors. In 2011, all fourteen windows were replaced and improved with screens throughout the apartment! The eat-in kitchen was completely gutted and modernized in a timeless, classic way. A brand new oak floor was installed to match the oak floors that run throughout the rest of the home. The number of electrical outlets was doubled and a new updated electrical panel was installed. The custom kitchen cabinetry is the real deal: all wood, inside and out, and finished with a luscious cherry/walnut stain. This is the perfect kitchen for buying in bulk, the huge refrigerator and abundant cabinet space are sure to hold all your purchases. The master bathroom renovation included all new tile and fixtures. The subfloor, floor, walls, and ceiling are all new. The white ceramic subway tile with blue mosaic trim on the walls and the white marble with gray-microdot on the floor make the room feel clean and open. 860 Grand Concourse has daytime and evening doormen, elevators, bike room, laundry room, and a live-in super. The building is situated in the Concourse Historic district in close proximity to the B/D/4 subway lines at 161st Street/Yankee Stadium, the 2/4/5 lines just south at 149th Street, Metro-North's commuter rail stops at the Yankees-East 153rd Street station on the Hudson Line and on the Harlem Line at Melrose and 161st Street. The BX 1,2,6,13 and express bus to Manhattan are nearby options as well. As a transportation hub, this location is optimum allowing for a 25-minute commute to midtown and an easy drive out of NYC. The Bronx Terminal Market is down the street with such flagship stores as Bed Bath & Beyond, BJs Wholesale, Best Buy, Burlington, Chuck E. Cheese, Home Depot, Marshalls, Target and more. There are many delis, restaurants, and grocers within blocks of this home - as well as a movie theatre, Chipotle, and Starbucks. This is a prime opportunity to own a home that would cost millions in some Manhattan neighborhoods. From the beautiful renovations to the meticulous care of the owners, to the sheer size and layout, this top floor home is a fantastic find.
