614 W 247th Street

Nestled along a quiet tree-lined street in Riverdale’s Estate Area, this stylishly updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath, brick house, built in 1961, sits on a countrified double lot of more than a third of an acre. The current owner is an architect, and it clearly shows in the transformational updates and creative, clean-lined aesthetic – which have been featured in design publications.

Outside, the house is graced with a grassy front lawn, an airy ipe wood pergola, a welcoming entry porch, a secluded dining patio and a lush and lovely garden with natural wooded areas.

Inside, there are two wood-burning fireplaces and double-height ceilings in the living and dining areas, plus numerous skylights.  Standout details include: a skylighted entry hall; living room with expansive south-facing windows; open-plan dining room and kitchen with custom glass-fronted cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances (Wolf 6-burner stove, Liebherr refrigerator and Thermador dishwasher); main-floor den; master bedroom with custom built-in cabinetry; walk-out lower level with office and family room; 4-car private driveway; attached 1-car garage with insulated aluminum and glass automatic door.
