A two-story, 1,056-square-foot brick house, built in 1880. Hardwood floors throughout, except for tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. Just under a mile from the Metro North Hudson Line's Beacon Station, i.e., a 5-minute drive or a 16-minute walk. Full, unfinished basement and attic. Wrought-iron fencing with gate in front yard, chain-link fencing with gate in back yard, mostly masked by arbor-vitae hedge and rose trestles. The house is equipped with a baseboard heating system powered by a natural-gas furnace--but most of our winter heating needs are supplied by the Dutchwest woodstove on the first floor.
