This exceptional house makes its first ever appearance on the open market. After undergoing a major renovation, it stands as a combination of classic elegance and modern convenience. An abundance of natural light makes the beautiful interior even more appealing. Built around 1906, it stands as one of Katonah’s earliest houses. In addition to being historically significant, it is ideally located just a very short distance to town and the train station and only a bit further to Katonah Elementary School. The Terrace is considered to be the most desirable street to live on in the village of Katonah. Not only is there easy access to town, but because it is not a through street, it has very little car traffic. And it is right in the middle of Katonah’s famous Halloween celebration each year. The property itself is noteworthy in several regards. First, it has twice the usual frontage on The Terrace, resulting in a large side yard. Second, it goes all the way through from The Terrace to Valley Road. This provides an easy walkthrough, another yard area in the back of the property and a front row seat for the block party that is Katonah’s popular Fireman’s Parade each June. Finally, in addition to a large standalone garage, there are other outbuildings on the property. The property is part of Katonah’s new sewer project. It is expected that the house will be connected by year end, which will likely allow for more opportunities for expanding and renovating. The highlights of the major renovation completed by the current owners are the Chef’s Kitchen, a huge, full-floor Bedroom Suite and a large wraparound porch. The kitchen has custom frameless cabinetry, numerous high-end appliances, Corian counters and a custom reclaimed wood slab on the island. The pantry area and mudroom that connect to the kitchen also have custom cabinetry, providing abundant and convenient storage.
