663 Locust St

This is a five-story pre‑war cooperative constructed in 1928, located in Mount Vernon’s Fleetwood neighborhood. The masonry facade and original 1920s architectural detailing are reflected inside by high ceilings, arched doorways, and hardwood floors in many units. The property is composed primarily of one‑bedroom apartments, several of which have been renovated to include eat‑in or galley kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and updated baths. Common building features include an elevator, on‑site laundry in the basement, rentable storage lockers, a superintendent on premises, and a communal mailbox. Maintenance typically covers heat, hot water, water and snow removal; the building uses oil-fired heating. Parking is not assigned on site but municipal parking is available nearby. Pet policy generally restricts dogs and allows renting after a period of owner occupancy, subject to co‑op rules; sponsor/resale conditions occasionally affect approval requirements. The block is highly walkable: short walks to Fleetwood Metro‑North station (about 25–30 minutes to Grand Central), local buses, shops, restaurants, schools and parks. Overall the building combines pre‑war character with periodic unit modernization for commuter-friendly suburban living.
