House, 4417 Tibbett Avenue #, North Riverdale-Fieldston-Riverdale - Real Estate New York

Description

4417 Tibbett Avenue is a distinguished Tudor Revival residence quietly tucked into the lush landscape of Riverdale’s Fieldston Historic District. Reminiscent of an English countryside cottage, the 3-story home is framed by mature trees and flowering shrubs that create a feeling of privacy and natural beauty. Upon entering, a small entry foyer welcomes you inside, where the home’s classic layout begins to unfold. Directly ahead, a central staircase leads to the upper floors. To the left, the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and leads into a sunroom with exposed beam ceilings—ideal for a quiet afternoon or enjoying garden views in any season. To the right of the foyer, the formal dining room flows into the kitchen, equipped with quartz countertops, a Verona double wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, and rock maple flooring. Beyond the kitchen is a half bath and a private study/small guest room—tucked quietly at the rear of the home and with direct access to the lovely flagstone patio surrounded by tall trees and dense greenery, perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the quiet charm of the setting. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a sprawling primary suite with its fireplace, walk-in closet, and Juliet balcony. The shared bathroom has been tastefully renovated with a red quartz vanity and a walk-in shower. On the top floor is a whimsical fourth bedroom complete with quarter round casement windows and a full bath with your classic clawfoot tub—an ideal space for guests or quiet retreat. An attached one-car garage with a private driveway can fit multiple cars. Built in 1920, the home has been carefully updated to meet contemporary needs while preserving the integrity of its original design. Notable architectural details include casement windows, classic built-ins, and the home’s signature storybook appeal. Recent improvements include refinished oak floors, a new thermostat, a multi-zone mini split system, storm windows, and newly installed custom windows on the top floor. The Fieldston Historic District, established in 1914 by the Delafield Estate, spans 140 acres and is known for its diverse revivalist architecture—Tudor, Medieval, Mediterranean, and early Modernist—set among winding roads, mature trees, and natural rock formations. Ideally located, the property is within walking distance of the 1 train, grocery stores, and other neighborhood amenities. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
