247 Parkview Ave

A mid-century cooperative garden-style building constructed in 1954, the property rises six stories and contains primarily two-bedroom apartments with occasional three-bedroom layouts. Exterior features are modest and community-focused, including a mailbox cluster, a recently added gated playground with picnic seating, and landscaped grounds that sit across from the Bronx River parkway and bike path. Interiors emphasize period bones updated over time: many units show full renovations with hardwood or white oak floors, granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, plaster-skimmed walls, crown moldings, built-in storage and upgraded baths. Typical unit plans offer an entry foyer, eat-in kitchen, formal dining area, living room with generous light from multiple exposures, and walk-in or fitted closets. Building services include elevator access, a live-in superintendent, shared laundry, basement storage, and limited garage parking with a 2–3 year wait; street parking is also used. Maintenance commonly covers utilities (heat, hot water, gas, electric), and the coop participates in STAR tax benefits. The location blends suburban village character with commuter convenience: short walks to both Tuckahoe and Bronxville Metro-North stations (roughly 5–10 minutes), immediate access to parks, trails, village shops, restaurants and schools.
