This is downright disgusting and an eyesore for your beautiful community. I hope our local leaders will look into all actions that can get this situation remedied and quickly.
From the looks of it I believe that to be the case, but because the property is in disrepair it looks as if it something else, but if it was restored, it would be a lovely house. There are lots of English tudors where I live at and they are so charming. Some go for several hundred thousand easily (even in this economy) for the smaller ones and over a million for the larger estates.
There are some former Manhattanites that have bought property here. They trade in their multimillion dollar apartments for nice mansions in Fieldston OR have an apartment in Manhattan and a nice get-away in Riverdale.
Why would anyone spend good money for a house with that gigantic building right behind it anyway.
I don't see what the big deal is. Most buildings in Riverdale are either homes, condos or co-ops. It's just like having a townhouse in Manhattan that's next to an apartment building. Not that strange at all. If this building was restored, it would be lovely. The stone work is beautiful even though it has been neglected.

Its not the same as living in a townhouse in Manhattan (or in Manhattan at all). I could understand if that building had some architectural value to it (such as a tudor or brownstone or even a fancy brand new glass hi-rise), but it doesn't. What is that building anyway? No windows.

You're looking at a neglected house that has been neglected for some time. Of course you can't see any value in it. I could say the same about many burnt out brownstones in Harlem years ago and look at how many of them have been restored.
