Unlike most coops which require a 20% down payment, this building operates similarly to a CONDO and allows for a much more reasonable 10% down payment! Also, this refreshingly un-stuffy co-op permits pets. This apartment is the BEST apartment in the building. It has UNOBSTRUCTED views from every room, either of Van Cortlandt Park to the west or of the full Manhattan skyline to the south, while also being bathed in direct, southern sunlight all day long. In the last 2 years, the owner performed an $80,000 gut renovation on the entire apartment, on a level way above the norm for this building, and has turned it into a designer masterpiece. The immaculate building has a great live-in superintendent and staff of 5. The building amenities include a garage, storage lockers, bicycle storage, locked package room for daily deliveries and laundry room. The building is situated at the literal foot of the Fieldston area of Riverdale, probably the most exclusive and beautiful residential neighborhood in all of New York City. Greystone Avenue is a very private, tucked-away street, yet it is just two blocks away from a very pretty shopping area on Riverdale Avenue (replete with a Michelin-recognized restaurant) and a 10-minute walk to an even-more-extensive shopping district on Johnson Avenue with an array of restaurants, cafés and neighborhood services, The 1 subway line (238th Street stop) is an 8-minute walk away, Metro North is 1.3 miles away and entrances onto the Major Deegan Expressway and the Henry Hudson Parkway are also really close. The monthly maintenance (comprised of both real estate taxes and common charges) is $1,364.
