Exclusive | A picturesque Bronx community where homes hardly sell is seeing a flurry of listings: 'Usually this does not happen'
"Three rare listings have piled up at The Bronx's own Italian-inspired villa. For decades, onlookers have stood at the gates of Villa Charlotte Bronte and wondered what it might be like to live inside the iconic co-op. Listings at the nearly 100-year-old complex have been historically scarce - but the tides appear to the turning. Three of the riverside retreat's 17 units have hit the market in a row, according to records. Available units include a three-bedroom for $1.24 million, a two-bedroom for $949,000 and a one-bedroom for $649,000."
""Usually this does not happen," Linda Justus, a longtime broker for the co-op's property manager, Robert E. Hill, told The Post. "There are years when you cannot find one property [at Villa Charlotte Bronte]." Located on a cliffside along the Hudson River, the Sputyen Duyvil co-op is often compared to a Tuscan villa, with its ivy-covered walls, peaked rooftops and arched stairways that the New York Times once likened to M.C. Escher's labyrinthian designs. Its sunken courtyard even features a cave-like alcove called the grotto."
Villa Charlotte Bronte is a nearly 100-year-old, 17-unit co-op on a Hudson River cliff in Sputyen Duyvil characterized by ivy-covered walls, peaked rooftops, arched stairways and a sunken courtyard grotto. Three units recently listed include a three-bedroom for $1.24 million, a two-bedroom for $949,000 and a one-bedroom for $649,000. The enclave experienced three sales in 2024 and a $915,000 two-bedroom sale in January. Monthly maintenance ranges from $1,461 to $2,237. Sales were rare before 2024, with no recorded listings from 2016 through 2020, and brokers attribute the recent activity to natural turnover.
