The Winchester is a midcentury, 10-story cooperative building in Bronxville, built in 1951 and organized primarily as two-bedroom residences. Its exterior presents a restrained postwar façade with a planted courtyard and mailbox area; many units include private balconies. The lobby reflects period Art Deco influences and the property maintains a staffed doorman presence seven days a week. Interiors typically feature generous room proportions: oversized living rooms, formal dining or breakfast areas, high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, built-in cabinetry, and original architectural details such as crown molding and cathedral ceiling treatments in select units. Kitchens and baths are often updated with granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, and some apartments include marble or quartzite finishes. Storage is deeded, and the building is served by elevators and recently upgraded windows and mechanical systems. Parking is managed via a wait list with occasional outdoor and garage spaces for a monthly fee; street parking is common. The house rules include strict financial vetting for buyers—minimum credit requirements, debt-to-income standards, and post-closing asset reserves—and indicate no-smoking and limited pet policies in many listings. Located a short walk from Bronxville Village and the Metro-North station, the building sits amid retail, dining, cultural amenities, and riverfront walking paths, offering a residential, village-oriented lifestyle with easy commuter access to Manhattan.
