240 Garth Rd

Garth Essex is a mid-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1967 that clusters primarily one- to three-room residences across elevator-served corridors. Units range from studios and junior four layouts to two-bedroom plans with eat-in or galley kitchens, parquet or hardwood floors, built-in storage, and original and renovated finishes such as granite counters and updated baths. Typical interior features include multiple closets (often walk-ins), first-floor bedroom options in some layouts, entrance foyers, ceiling fans or chandeliers, and central air in many units. The building’s common fabric emphasizes convenience: laundry rooms on every floor, a live‑in superintendent, additional storage and bicycle rooms, and an elevator. Exterior amenities are compact and residential in scale—private balconies, a landscaped courtyard, mailbox area and on‑site permit parking with a resident lot and a wait list for underground garage spaces. The co-op board is active, organizes social events, and maintains building policies such as non-smoking and income/board qualification standards. Located a short walk from Scarsdale Village and Metro-North, the property offers immediate access to shopping, restaurants, and the Bronx River Trail with nearby Lake Isle recreational facilities, positioning it for easy commuter access and suburban leisure opportunities.
