281 Garth Rd

A mid-century, six-story cooperative built in 1959, this full-service residential building occupies a convenient Scarsdale location within easy walking distance of the village and Metro-North. The property consists mainly of studios and two-bedroom units with a mix of original details—parquet and recently replaced hardwood floors—and updated kitchens and baths in many residences. Architecture reflects pragmatic postwar design: a low-rise massing with a modest landscaped courtyard, private balconies or terraces on select units, and a renovated lobby that reinforces a welcoming entry sequence. Interiors emphasize functional layouts: eat-in and galley-style kitchens, built-in storage, breakfast bars, and generous closets including multiple walk-ins in some homes. Building services include a staffed doorman (daily through midnight), on-site superintendent, elevator access, laundry rooms on each floor, bicycle storage, basement storage, and a community room. Exterior features comprise a courtyard garden with seating and fountain, mailbox area, and plentiful free street parking plus an on-site garage with short wait times for indoor bays. The co-op maintains a clearly defined board approval process, allows rentals after a waiting period, and grants residents eligibility for nearby Lake Isle Country Club membership. Pet restrictions vary by unit and listing; some units note no-pet policies while others imply flexibility subject to board rules.
