Travel back in time to live in this French country-style home that was once the sculpture studio for noted artist Elie Nadelman, whose work is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, for $2.7 million.

The Bronx dwelling at 4 Alderbrook Road comes with a running brook, mature fruit trees, roses, a stone patio and a walled stone terrace while sharing a pool with eight other homes on a private road.

It gives the illusion of living far upstate. But it’s all on one-third of an acre in Riverdale, just 10 miles from Midtown Manhattan — and it’s only had a few owners in almost a century.

“We are just the second owners since 1937,” said seller Reynold Levy, the former president of Lincoln Center and the Robin Hood Foundation, and a former executive director of the 92 Street Y, among other organizations, who has owned the home for the past 32 years. 

The brick home is 3,601 square feet and comes with seven bedrooms and three bathrooms.

It features a slate roof, wide-plank oak floors, built-in bookcases, moldings, solid oak doors with original hardware and two woodburning fireplaces.

It’s in the Estates section of Riverdale, “which is one of the most tranquil and beautiful parts of the city,” Levy said.

It’s also a magnet for birdwatchers and is a “popular stop for the Audubon Society,” according to the listing.   

The home’s first floor features a wood-paneled living room with a fireplace, a garden-facing dining room and a chef’s kitchen with original glass-paneled cabinetry — along with an enclosed dining porch. 

The sunlit main bedroom suite, on the second floor, boasts windows on three exposures and lots of closets. There’s also a high-ceilinged space above the garage that could work as a studio, an office, a playroom or a guest suite, while the basement level has a separate entrance.

The listing broker is Jed Lewin of the Agency New York.
