Home of the week

It’s probably the most interesting apartment building in Riverdale, and this home in Villa Charlotte Bronte lives up to its setting.

It’s a three-bedroom, two and a half-bathroom showstopper, and has been expertly decorated and the buyer will find it in move-in condition.

The building itself is unique. Architect Robert Gardner’s 1926 assemblage of multistoried apartments with steeply pitched red tile roofs defies categorization.

Its jigsaw of apartments and gardens exudes old world charm. Units in the storied co-op rarely become available and over the years, homeowners have lavished attention on their properties.

And its location, at 2501 Palisade Ave., means that apartment 3C offers stunning views of the Hudson River down to the George Washington Bridge and the Palisades, from more than just one room. A terrace adds to the enjoyment of the grand scenery.

There’s even a wood-burning fireplace — something rare for Riverdale apartments, or any apartment in the city.

The apartment holds a formal dining room, butler’s pantry, a fantastic gourmet kitchen with Bosch dishwasher, Jennair refrigerator, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. The floors are original hardwood, and have period detailing.

Bathrooms include marble walls, updated, sleek fixtures and checkered floors.

The building is dog friendly and close to everything.

According to Daniel Wright, the exclusive broker at Halstead Property, the asking price is $1,125,000 with maintenance charges of $1,823 per month.
