3488 Cannon Place #1

Perched atop beautiful and historic Cannon Place and overlooking all of Kingsbridge, this 3-bedroom 1.5-bathroom house is waiting for you to come home.

The first floor has a massive and beautiful open layout on the first floor. Past the foyer is a large living area with tall ceilings and lots of light. The dining area offers more than enough space for entertaining and with built-in shelving and a closet area it’s easy to keep the space clutter free.

The highlight of this floor is a large and spectacular sitting room with windows North and West looking out over the entire neighborhood; Evening sunlight floods into the space. This room is perfect for relaxing and reading, or perhaps set up a desk and have the office view you’ve been dreaming of.

The vintage windowed kitchen is large and contains a stainless-steel refrigerator. The classic design has enough space for one of the rarer features in NYC kitchens: The kitchen table. There is plentiful counterspace and lots of cupboards. The home chef will have all the work space they need.

Walk out of the kitchen door and find the beautiful private yard which is large enough to keep flowers and herbs growing all summer as well as a seating area for picnics or breakfast al fresco in the sunshine.

Up the stairs are three generous bedrooms with closets for all. The primary bedroom has a dressing area that would allow for all the furniture you could want to make sure your closets don’t get overstuffed. The hallway has two closets and the skylight bathes the floor with light all day long.

There is a garage for off street covered parking year-round included. Pets accepted.

With the 1 train a few blocks away, you are mere minutes from Manhattan. Van Cortlandt and Fort Independence Parks are chock full of green space and activities including trails, golf courses, ball fields, numerous playgrounds and more. This isn’t an accident, as Kingsbridge Heights is one of the few streetscapes in the entire city that retains its original layout as put down by Fredrick Law Olmstead, whom designed Central and Prospect Parks. The curvy hills and leafy blocks among the step-streets retain a charm that is rare anywhere in the city today, let alone in The Bronx.

Mere blocks away are Lehman College, Manhattan College, and all the shops at 231st Street. But it’s not all bike trails and dog runs The Bronx Ale House and Kingsbridge Social Club are just around the corner. One of the newer openings is local favorite Bronx Public with great food and a fantastic bar. The newly built Riverdale Crossing off 238th St. brings a BJ’s to your fingertips. The brand new 2 story rebuild of the Van Cortlandt NYPL recently opened in 2019 with great fanfare. And of course, the NYC essentials: S&S Cheesecake and Lloyd’s Carrot Cake bakeries will literally swell you up with Bronx Pride.
