Description

Landmarked Mott Haven townhouse on desirable Alexander Ave! This lovely Queen Anne still has amazing original details in tact-- the original stained glass windows, transoms and skylight, marble fireplaces, baroque balcony and exquisite doors, pocket and French, as well as mouldings; the sturdy staircase will remind you of the grand old days when the Bronx well-to-do flocked to this street. The garden duplex, with an updated kitchen and two baths, and stellar new floors, lets out onto a 500+ SF backyard with its own peach tree! Located on the best block on the best street of Alexander, once called The Fifth Avenue of Mott Haven, this historic beauty is one of only six homes in this architectural idiom, designed by architect Richard Lomax for Thomas Overington, truly rarely available! Built in 1887, this home exemplifies the fine craftsmanship and artistry of its incredible past! Alexander Avenue, a broad street with homes dating from the early 1870's, is a grand showcase of Renaissance Italian Palazzo, Victorian, Gothic, Greek Revival and the eclectic Queen Anne styles. Just steps from the train, Antique Row and The New York Public Library (endowed by Andrew Carnegie and built by the architects of his Fifth Avenue mansion), you're also in the heart of a reinvigorated neighborhood brimming with shops, restaurants, florists, galleries. Rediscover Historic Mott Haven!
