The Wiltur

The Wiltur is a six-story pre-war co-op built in 1939 in a compact, boutique format of approximately 27 units. Its exterior reads as Bronx-Deco, attributed to Albert E. Schaefer, with period details such as wrought-iron railings and a sculpted façade that give the block-facing structure a distinct vintage presence. Apartments are primarily studios and one- and two-bedroom plans with classic interior touches: basket-weave parquet floors, sunken living rooms or dropped living areas in some units, windowed eat-in kitchens, and renovated windowed bathrooms. A passenger elevator serves all floors; common provisions include an entrance foyer, on-site laundry, mailbox bank, and a live-in superintendent. The building’s operation is co-op style with modest maintenance that typically covers heat and hot water; subletting is allowed after two years with board approval. Pet and investor policies are restrictive in many listings. Located on a tree-lined street in Bedford Park, the Wiltur sits within walking distance of the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Park, Fordham University, Lehman College, nearby hospitals and multiple transit options including Metro-North and the B/D/4 subway lines, combining period architecture with practical, transit-oriented urban living.
