The Bronx‘s Concourse Towers were built in 1963, at the height of the Mid-Century Modern movement. And time seems to have stood still at this two-bedroom apartment on the market for $449,500. The sellers are a prominent architectural historian and a property director, so it’s no wonder they’ve decided to outfit the home with authentic decor like cork flooring, a wood ceiling, and retro furniture everywhere you look.
A large central foyer opens into the main living space, which is bright and open.
As the listing notes, the dining room could even be converted to a third bedroom.
The kitchen stands out with wood ceilings, a stone wall, and a commercial-grade vinyl floor. It has a double basin stainless steel sink complete with a built-in soap dispenser, four-burner gas cooktop, gas wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, a built-in pull-out recess for a large microwave, and a broom closet. There’s also counter seating looking out the window.
Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and acoustic sound barrier walls. The secondary bedroom is set up as a den.
Though not pictured, there is also a large private balcony with Manhattan views.
The building offers a 24-hour doorman and security, live-in super, and two 24-hour laundry rooms. It’s right near several parks and is just one block from the Bronx Museum of the Arts and a quick walk to the B and D trains at 167th Street.
