Property Description
At the end of a cul-de-sac in the landmarked Fieldston community stands this exceptional colonial revival home. 5022 Waldo is distinguished by its superior quality, unique character, and seclusion. Set on a half-acre double lot, this hillside location provides both privacy and stunning views from the roof deck.
Built in the 1930s and updated for 21st century life, the home has undergone a meticulous renovation, including significant upgrades to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.
Upon entering the gracious foyer, you're immediately captivated by the abundant light from the expansive east-facing windows and glass doors. To the right, a fabulous living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and French doors leading to the bluestone patio. On the left, a charming wood-paneled library with a second fireplace and ensuite powder room.
Then comes the open kitchen and dining room, featuring an expansive chef’s kitchen with double sinks, dual dishwashers, custom cabinetry, and both a gas stove and range and an electric wall oven.
The laundry area off the dining room leads to a large deck and the back yard, but also serves to hide away convenient laundry space, complete with built-in storage.
The first floor of the home also features an integrated Bose speaker system in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, sure to add the perfect ambiance when entertaining.
The second floor offers a large primary suite with a working fireplace, office area, en-suite bath, a large walk-in closet, and a balcony overlooking the back yard. This level also includes three additional spacious bedrooms, two more full bathrooms, and plenty of closet space.
The fully finished third floor currently serves as a rec-room, equipped with a wet bar, ping pong table, and two full bathrooms. This space is highlighted by a glorious roof-top terrace with views of Van Cortlandt Park, Riverdale Country School, and even as far as Tracy Towers. This level also includes extensive storage closets.
The attached garage leads to a convenient mud room, cellar, and multiple storage rooms, including the building mechanicals.
The backyard is a true stunner and highlights the natural beauty inherent in Fieldston. The large bluestone back patio and a smaller bluestone terrace adjacent to the kitchen are perfect for gatherings and barbecues, or enjoying a quiet Sunday. A stone stairway leads down the ivy-covered slope to a lower patio and seating area.
A permanently installed 20,000-watt generator ensures the home remains fully operational during power outages, automatically activating when service is interrupted.
A picturesque enclave nestled between Van Cortlandt Park, the third largest in the city, and Riverdale, Fieldston is a private neighborhood in New York City and residents maintain its historic park-like surroundings with pride. Home to many century-old mansions, old growth trees, a pond, and three of the top private schools in the country, Fieldston is “in the city and yet not of it.” The neighborhood also has a private security force that patrols, adding to the feeling of security in the neighborhood. Within just a few blocks you’ll find the restaurants and conveniences of Mosholu Avenue & Riverdale Avenue.
A commuter’s dream, nearby you’ll find easy access to the Henry Hudson Parkway and Major Deegan expressway, the GWB to Jersey, or shoot up the Saw Mill Parkway to Westchester and beyond. Local and express buses are within a few blocks, and include the Bx7 Bx10 BxM1 BxM2 and BxM18. Easy access to subway and MetroNorth as well.
