FOR SALE BY OWNER.

If you seek Light, Sunshine, Treetops and Open Skies… look no further.

A sincerely beautiful, renovated pre-war home offering incredible space, light, views and comfort.

Gut renovated just before my 2017 purchase and lovingly cared for ever since, this exceptionally spacious one-bedroom apartment is a true home.

From the spacious, closeted foyer, you immediately feel the natural light pouring through the west-facing windows. Remarkably, as soon as the sun rises in the east, its light reflects beautifully back into the apartment—and the home remains exceptionally bright throughout the day. High ceilings, preserved original wood flooring, multi-pane windows and metal-framed doors provide timeless pre-war charm.

The modern, windowed eat-in kitchen accommodates a large dining table. Stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher and washer/dryer. White cabinetry offers abundant storage, and the stone countertop makes cooking a delight.

The sleek, modern bathroom is windowed, filled with southern light, and complete with storage and a bathtub.

The expansive living room can accommodate living, office and dining areas, depending on your needs—the possibilities are endless. Other one-bedrooms in the building have added windowed, French-door-style walls to create another room while preserving the light. As with any co-op, renovations require board approval.

And my favorite—the bedroom. A spacious, peaceful oasis anchored by a spectacular oversized double window framing lush treetop views and open skies. With room for an additional home office, I prefer to keep my bedroom for peace and rest. Your new home—you decide how to use all this space.

The building and welcoming staircase are grand; the sun-filled lobby is enchanting. Two elevators, each serving its respective side of the building, eliminate the long waits common in larger buildings.

A garbage chute on every floor and dedicated live-in superintendent and porter help make home life hassle-free. The basement also offers bike storage (currently waitlisted) and a brand-new laundry room.

The B/D subway lines are on this very block, with the 4 train a few blocks away. Plentiful buses surround the block, and Citi Bikes are at your doorstep.

Quietly nestled between the bustling shopping and dining corridors of 161st and 167th Streets, the home offers the best of both worlds—easy access with enough distance to feel at peace. The Bronx Terminal Market, Yankee Stadium and numerous parks provide additional shopping, entertainment, nature and play.

During spring, summer and autumn, a delightful farmers market offers wonderfully fresh produce.

Fur babies: Cats are permitted; dogs are considered case by case, largely depending on size and breed.

Current capital assessment: $209.97 per month.

If you come directly, without an agent, I will credit the 2.5% buyer’s-agent fee toward your purchase.

If the real-estate process feels overwhelming, I will gladly share what I know from experience and provide a list of independent real-estate attorneys you may wish to contact.

Furnished (at a small additional cost) or unfurnished—your choice.

Open houses will be by appointment only beginning October 18, 2026. If you need to come view sooner - please ask and I will do my best to accommodate Sept 17th - 24th.

To contact me directly, please select the owner-contact option rather than the platform’s agent-contact option.

I love my home deeply, but after 25 years away from my family, I am moving back to Europe. I sincerely hope its next owner will love living here as much as I have.

Warmly,
Current owner.
