253 Garth Rd

The Buckingham is a six‑story pre‑war cooperative built in 1935 that reads as a well-preserved Tudor‑style residence serving primarily one‑bedroom and studio households. Exterior details are restrained; residents enter through a formal marble lobby and access apartments via an elevator. Individual units commonly retain original architectural elements—arched doorways, built‑in shelving, crown moldings, and hardwood floors—alongside modern updates such as renovated eat‑in kitchens with granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, and recessed lighting. Ceiling variations include cathedral exposures in select units, and many apartments offer generous closet/storage allocations plus basement storage bins. The building’s shared spaces emphasize a residential neighborhood feel: a planted outdoor garden terrace with seating, laundry and storage in the lower level, a mailbox area, and a waitlist for indoor garage parking while free permit street parking and a resident lot are available. Co‑op ownership affords eligibility for nearby Lake Isle Country Club membership with golf, pools, and tennis at resident rates. Located on Garth Road within walking distance of Scarsdale Village and the Metro‑North station, the property sits adjacent to retail, restaurants, and the Bronx River Reservation trail network, supporting an easy commuter lifestyle with suburban amenities and substantial green space nearby.
