Prepare to be amazed. This incredible property on a prime Malba area is truly an oasis. This magnificent 4 bedroom/4.5 bath brick house sits on a beautifully landscaped 92 x 127 lot complete with a swimming pool and jacuzzi, and 4-car garage.
You will immediately notice the quality of this exquisite home. Upon entering on the main level, you are welcomed into the beautiful foyer with a grand custom staircase and vaulted ceiling accentuated by a crystal chandelier. Oversized arched windows draw an abundance of natural light into the formal living room, which features French doors and a wood-burning fireplace. The stately dining room is ideal for elegant entertaining, with inlaid hardwood floors, chandelier, wainscoting, and crown moldings. Tucked off the dining room, the home office offers peace and quiet, plus built-in shelving and storage.
A large wood burning-fireplace with a handsome carved mantelpiece is the focal point of the expansive family room. The enormous eat-in chef's kitchen offers granite countertops, ample wood cabinetry, a large island, stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful windowed breakfast nook. The kitchen opens out to the covered veranda, backyard, and pool area. The first floor also includes a handsome half-bath and a full laundry room.
This home features 4 generous-sized bedrooms with great closet space on the second floor, along with 3 full bathrooms. The palatial primary suite features a wood-burning fireplace, a spa-like and sunny en suite bathroom, and a wonderful large private terrace. The super-large closet provides access to the attic, which has been converted into a massive closet space so big the Rockettes could perform inside it!
The versatile basement level includes a sitting room, recreation room, wet bar, and storage space.
The grounds of this property have been gracefully landscaped, including flowering cherry trees and a lush lawn. You will enjoy summer-entertaining in the backyard and pool/spa area, thoughtfully planned with a covered patio providing shade.
For your security, this property also includes an alarm system and a safe room. A sprinkler system helps to keep the backyard a verdant oasis, and a central HVAC system keeps this home comfortable year-round. The location is ideal, in the heart of the highly coveted Malba section of Whitestone, with parks and boating/fishing facilities nearby.
