The shingle-style home at 5031 Grosvenor Avenue in the sought-after Bronx neighborhood of Riverdale was designed in the 1890s style often associated with the architects McKim, Mead & White. Atop a stone bluff overlooking Riverdale and neighboring Fieldston, the five-bedroom house, asking $4,900,000, has family-sized charm, an elevator, a pool, and outdoor living spaces, adding up to the subtle grandeur of homes much further afield, without the hassle of a traffic-filled commute.

Elegant flourishes like broad stone steps, a sweeping motor court, and a triple-bay garage define the home’s exterior. A wraparound porch looks out over Riverdale.

Kosher-friendly and featuring Thermador appliances, a spacious up-to-the-minute kitchen includes a family dining space. The home’s main living spaces overlook the pool and backyard. All are served by central air conditioning.

An attached three-car garage is an exterior perk. Further outdoor enhancements include a pool, landscaped gardens, a paved motor court, and hilltop views. In addition to being within New York City, Riverdale is home to several parks, a riding stable, hiking trails, dog runs, a golf course, and more.
