No expense was spared in crafting a state-of-the-art kitchen with sleek stainless appliances and plenty of room for cooking and entertaining.
A great new property deserves a great open house

rive down West 232nd Street from Henry Hudson Parkway towards Johnson Avenue and you can’t help but notice a handsome pair of new townhouses faced in brick and limestone. The builders have taken a great deal of pride in creating this unique pair of homes, so it’s not surprising that they are launching the first — 634 West 232nd Street — with a bang. They’re inviting brokers to a wine and cheese open house today, Thursday, April 28 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. On Sunday, May 1 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. prospective buyers are invited to take a tour. What will they find when they come through the double oak doors at the entrance? 4,088 square feet of space, beginning with a 20-foot high entry hall with marble floors. The red oak open staircase in the center hall leads to five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two powder rooms on four levels — with sound and temperature insulation between floors. Wide plank oak flooring, recessed lighting and plenty of natural light are in every room. The master bedroom suite features en-suite bath, a walk-in closet and a private balcony. The grand double-story open living room and formal dining room share a level with a spacious gourment kitchen. Custom hardwood cabinetry, Caesar stone counters and marble backsplashes are accented by the most up-to-date top-of-the-line appliances including Jen-Air range and oven, double Fisher and Paykel dishwashers and an Avanit-Pro beverage cooler. Bathrooms feature rain showers and deep soaking tubs and a third floor laundry center saves steps. Not that up and down travel is a problem, the townhouse comes with its own private elevator in addition to two-zone central heating and air conditioning, a private rooftop terrace, a garage with indoor access and private outdoor parking. According to listing agent Sanjya Tidke of Sotheby’s International Realty, the home is offered for $1,295,000.
