A North Riverdale bungalow that’s neat, trim and ready for move in
T
he bay window facing the street at 6118 Fieldston Road is the first indication that this three-bedroom, two-bathroom North Riverdale bungalow is something special. From its light, bright entrance foyer to its shady, paved and fenced rear yard, the house has been thoroughly renovated with details like old-fashioned ceiling fans, classic chandeliers, crown mouldings and inlaid hardwood floors. The spaces on the main floor flow seamlessly together — from the living room to the formal dining room to the gourmet kitchen to the outdoor terrace. The sunny eat-in kitchen has been outfitted with oversized ceramic tile flooring,
classic white cabinets and appliances, an enormous central butcher block counter and a handsome hanging rack that keeps pots and pans close at hand for the serious cook. Even the basement is fully finished with a cozy family room and a laundry room. Though it’s on a bucolic country lane, the house is convenient to Riverdale Avenue shopping, bus lines on Riverdale Avenue and Broadway, schools and houses of worship. According to exclusive broker Keyna Burns of Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the home’s owner is a “motivated seller” who has just reduced the price to $626,000 and taxes are low.
