There is something special about arriving in Indian Village. Tree-lined streets, beautiful homes and sidewalks made for an evening stroll give this treasured section of the Bronx a warmth and charm you notice right away. And right here, surrounded by all of it, is 1241 Rhinelander Avenue, an impeccably maintained Tudor that makes a wonderful first impression and continues to deliver once you step through the front door.
Enter into a welcoming foyer with coat closet, then into a gracious living room where hardwood floors and a brick wood-burning fireplace immediately set the tone. Picture crisp fall evenings by the fire, holidays gathered together and everyday nights that simply feel a little cozier here.
The living and dining areas connect naturally with the updated eat-in kitchen, creating an easy flow for daily life and entertaining. The kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, along with a generous island where you can pull up a stool for morning coffee or conversation while dinner is being prepared.
Sliders lead directly to a private deck with a SunSetter retractable awning, perfect for outdoor dining or unwinding in the shade while overlooking the backyard. Off-street parking accommodates approximately 3 to 4 cars, and a shed provides additional storage.
Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath with Jacuzzi tub reflect the same meticulous care found throughout. The walkout lower level is a tremendous bonus, offering a family room, den, second full bath and laundry area. A separate tool room gives you a dedicated spot for projects and equipment.
Whether you wish to relax, work, create or accommodate overnight guests, this basement adds terrific flexibility. Recent improvements include a hot water heater approximately three years old, along with a washer and refrigerator just a year and a half old.
The location adds another dimension to everything this property offers. Morris Park and Williamsbridge Road are just blocks away, putting restaurants, shops, takeout, buses and transportation within easy reach. Jacobi Medical Center and Montefiore Einstein are nearby, while gorgeous Pelham Parkway offers miles of green space for walking, biking and spending time outdoors.
Manhattan is easily accessible, yet returning to Indian Village brings you back to a quieter setting that feels pleasantly removed from the pace of the city. Immaculate from top to bottom, thoughtfully updated and clearly cared for over the years, this is one of those houses where the pride of ownership speaks for itself. From the first look at the curb to the last room you see, there is simply so much here to love.
