The Stonecrest Cooperative: 21 North Chatsworth Ave – Larchmont NY:
BACK ON THE MARKET AFTER FULL BATHROOM RENOVATION
The Stonecrest of Larchmont is an elegant pre-war Tudor cooperative with a rich history in an historic village. Located on North Chatsworth Ave., the location is nothing short of ideal. Few Westchester coops could compete with this location. Just steps from Metro-North and center of the village.
21 N Chatsworth Ave. has been a desired location since Lou Gehrig called the Stonecrest home. This is definitely a leave the car behind location – with a coveted “walker’s paradise” score of 92 out of 100 from walkscore.com. The train, shopping and fine dining are just steps from your door. In fact this location can easily be considered Sound Shore alternative to the famous Garth Road in Scarsdale. Garth Road cooperatives are desirable because of their location near the village of Scarsdale and the easy access to metro-north. The Stonecrest is even more walkable than most locations on Garth Road and is literally half a block from the New Haven Line. Larchmont to NYC is an express stop about 35 minutes from midtown Manhattan. In addition to all that you’ve got the Long Island Sound! It doesn’t get any better than this! People considering an entry level White Plains condo or coop – or perhaps a coop on Garth Road – would find the amenities of this complex very appealing.
This is a doorman building with a common laundry. There is a waitlist for parking which can be either outdoor or indoor.

Note that the calculations regarding tax savings is an approximation. I am not an accountant and don’t even play one on TV! However, this certainly beats renting in terms of total outlay for the space that you get and it’s win-win in that in a world or rapidly rising rents – this stabilizes outlay.
