The Historic Tuckahoe Condominiums rarely come up for rent, and once you take a look inside, it’s easy to see why. The well-appointed indoor common area sets the scene for an impeccable three-bedroom, 1700-square-foot home with modern updates. The updated kitchen is complete with granite countertops, a center island and a subway tile backsplash.

The building has a full-time maintenance staff and a front-entrance staff to welcome visitors and accept packages.
