July 23, 2015

The Bronx enclave of Riverdale is chock full of striking freestanding mansions of different architectural styles. This one at 4501 Delafield Avenue is in the Mediterranean Revival style, designed by the architect A. E. Klueppelberg in 1910. Indeed, this facade looks like something you’d sooner find in Europe than New York City. It’s uniqueness is paired with a gut renovation inside that’s completely modernized the home. It’s now on the market for $2.59 million, quite the price boost from when the property sold in 2013 for $1.336 million.
