Welcome to 83 Alta Avenue, Yonkers — where history climbs the hillside. Before it was a home, it was a destination. Built in 1898 as the “Elevator House,” this cedar-shingle and stone landmark once served as the upper station for the Park Hill Incline — a funicular railway that carried New Yorkers from the city streets to the serenity of Yonkers’ first planned community.

Today, it stands as one of only two surviving structures from that visionary transit system — a rare architectural relic reimagined for modern living. Now a legal two-family residence, the property offers two expansive duplex apartments with a total of 8–9 bedrooms, perched high above the Hudson with panoramic views of the river and the Palisades.

Inside, you’ll find echoes of its past — generous proportions, timeless materials, and a layout that invites creativity and connection. This isn’t just a home; it’s a chapter of New York history — a place where innovation met elegance, and where the spirit of progress still lingers in the walls.

Whether you’re a preservationist, a dreamer, or someone who simply craves a home with soul, 83 Alta Avenue is unlike anything else on the market. Come see where the tracks once ended… and a new story begins.
