Talk about curb appeal...the herringbone brick walk leads you to the pillared porch and original leaded glass sidelights and arched transom window. A grand stair hall with walnut staircase and graceful balustrade sets the tone for this treasure. Featured on the 2009 Park Hill Historic House Tour, this glorious Georgian Colonial offers sophisticated yet comfortable living. Wide gracious doorways, chair rail moldings on the first floor and picture rail moldings throughout the house (not one single hole in the lovely plaster walls), and vintage Arts & Crafts and antique light fixtures enhance this classic center hall home. Flanking the stair hall are the living room with fireplace and the dining room. The spacious sunroom almost feels as if you are outside, overlooking the gardens with wide expanse of windows on two sides. And then comes the surprise of this traditional 1923 home...a high-styled kitchen with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, SubZero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Thermidor cooktop and wall oven that is open to a beautifully designed family room addition with cathedral ceiling, eyebrow windows, flat-screen TV with 7.1 built-in Surround Sound theater system (all included) and two sets of French doors that open wide out to the terraced patio and yard. Just stunning! Up the beautiful staircase to the landing with a window seat that looks out over the backyard. The second floor hall is open and airy and central to all the bedrooms on this floor. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and updated bath with Jacuzzi. Three additional bedrooms and vintage hall bath complete the floor, all the bedrooms with great exposure and natural light on two sides. Closets galore including a double hall linen closet. The 300 sq ft finished third floor is an ideal home office or studio space. This residence is as wonderful outside as it is inside...stone terrace, a gazebo tucked into a corner, majestic trees, perennial gardens, hundreds of bulbs that appear every spring, flowering bushes, vegetable garden and evergreens...over ¼ acre beautifully frames this wonderful home. Perfect for a quiet evening eating on the terrace or for large scale entertaining. Too many improvements to mention...gleaming refinished oak and Georgia pine floors, entire interior painted top to bottom, copper chimney cap, gutters, rebuilt front pillars, insulated mahogany garage door, historic storm windows, washer, dryer, dishwasher and more! The most amazing improvement is the installation of a copper shingle roof offering curb appeal, unbelievable durability and energy efficiency. When the 83-year old original copper shingle roof suffered damage in a brutal windstorm, the owner wanted to do right by the house and replaced the roof with brand new copper shingles that have weathered to a natural patina. Another rarity in an older home, this property has a heated garage with large storage area with direct access into the house. No more running from the car to the house in rain or snow! All this and property taxes under $10,000 with STAR exemption. Great location with close access to parkways (east to the shore or north to the mountains) and a brief 25 minutes to midtown Manhattan via Metro North or 10 minutes to NYC subway. Short walk to Park Hill Swim/Racquet/Social Club. Call Jane at 914.262.8836 for more information or to schedule a private showing.
