Riverdale, Estate of the Day
Today's home in the Riverdale area of the Bronx, New York is located on the highest topography in the area. The large stone home was built in 1928. The eight-bedroom home has over 14,000 square feet of space. The home drips with rococo details like gilded mirrors and ornately carved marble fireplaces. Handsome wood details include a sweeping staircase and columns and a highly polished bar perfecting for mixing up a Manhattan. The kitchen features industrial-looking stainless steel refrigerators and a large pot rack. A huge conservatory offers a place to enjoy the sun in winter months. The green marble bathroom which looks to be the master bath looks more like an office, save the giant hot tub. The estate includes 2.3 acres of land and is offered as a lease-hold sale for approximately 200 years. It is listed at $15 million.

Yeah, like someone's going to actually pay $15M to live in the Bronx......especially in a house that redefines "tacky"

A home with beautiful features, bones, but yes, very tacky decorating. The Bronx is home to some really beautiful homes and areas.

Wow. I hope the buyer has LOTS of money left over to gut the place. Can't remember seeing anything quite so tacky.... Green plastic tub? Raised platform in the atrium? Bad, bad, bad....

I love the house. The decorating could use help.
GlobalDia Jun 19th 2009 4:58PM
granted the bronx does have some nice areas (despite what out-of-towners might think), $15mio for THIS is outrageously priced....heck, even $5mio might be stretching it.

Riverdale is a terrific neighborhood, with a long history of being an exclusive enclave within the Bronx. Have you ever been?? Don't be so judgemental . . . But yeah, the decoration is just gawd awful! Someone please save this gem!

I've always been a fan of Rococo design and this house drips with it. Plus it's in a great neighbourhood.
