143 Garth Rd

The Colchester is a six-story prewar co-op completed in 1929 that occupies a residential block near Scarsdale Village and the Metro-North station. Architecturally it reflects period styling with a formal lobby, decorative moldings and original interior details carried into many units. Floorplans are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, several with large entry foyers, high ceilings, generous closets and features such as built-in cabinetry, decorative fireplace mantels and hardwood floors. Kitchens and baths are a mix of original and updated finishes—from galley- and eat-in kitchens to chef-style renovations with stone or quartz counters and stainless appliances—while some apartments retain cathedral or coffered ceilings and other classic millwork. Shared spaces include an elegant lobby, a large communal terrace and a landscaped courtyard that faces Garth Woods, plus bike storage, paid bin storage, laundry and on-site super/porter services. Recent building upgrades cited in listings include new passenger and freight elevators. Practical amenities include permit street parking, basement storage and eligibility for Lake Isle Country Club privileges. The co-op allows small dogs (typically up to 30 lbs with an additional fee) and is within a short walk to shops, restaurants, parks, and commuter rail service to Manhattan.
