Expanѕivе, cіnemаtіс views and eхсерtiοnal scale define this rarely available high-floor two-bedroom, two-bath residence at 1020 Grand Concourse, rising above the surrounding neighborhood near the pinnacle of the building. Oversized picture windows flood the home with light and frame sweeping views of Yankee Stadium, the Manhattan skyline, and a peek of the George Washington Bridge and of buildings in New Jersey.
The apartment is defined by perfect scale and distinctive details. An entry foyer and closet leads into the dramatic living room-the largest volume in the building. Strong curves reflect the building's exuberant mid-century design. A separate windowed dining area sits just beyond, clearly defined yet open to the living space, and the kitchen is well placed to open directly into the living and dining areas, creating a loft-like expanse with uninterrupted sightlines. Just beyond, a long, curved west-facing balcony meaningfully extends the living space.
A dedicated bedroom wing along its own hall provides privacy and separation from the main living areas. The primary bedroom occupies a corner with west and south exposures and includes two large closets and an en-suite bath with a standing shower. The second bedroom faces east and fills with morning light and sits near a second full bath with a bathtub and shower. Storage is excellent, with multiple closets distributed across the foyer, hall, and both bedrooms.
The home offers a compelling opportunity to create something exceptional! Imagine designing a true chef's kitchen at the center of the home. The bathrooms retain their original 1963 character and present a similar opportunity-ready to be reimagined as sleek, modern spaces while honoring the apartment's mid-century roots.
The cooperative is currently undertaking two major improvement projects: the installation of new green roofs, including one over the attached garage that will provide a shared outdoor space for residents, and an exterior restoration program to further elevate the building's architectural presence. The assessment for these enhancements is being fully paid by the seller.
Designed by architect Philip Birnbaum and completed in 1963, 1020 Grand Concourse sits on the corner of 165th Street across from the Bronx Museum of Art. The location provides access to the B, D, and 4 trains, multiple bus lines, neighborhood shopping, and nearby parks, all within 20 minutes of Midtown Manhattan.
Residents enjoy full-service living in a well-managed cooperative with central air conditioning and heating, 24-hour staff, and low maintenance that includes gas and electricity.
