    French Country Charm Custom Home in Mount Vernon This 10-year-old, 2400 sq. ft. custom home sits on an oversized corner lot and offers the perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Designed with French country flair, it features 1909 sq. ft. on the main level plus a private 472 sq. ft. private upstairs bedroom suite. The spacious living room boasts 13’ ceilings and a stunning gas fireplace, flowing into a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances and large walk-in pantry. The primary suite includes an office-area large enough for a desk, credenza, and bookshelf, plus a luxurious bath with a walk-in shower and double vanity. Full-sized washer and dryer are conveniently located in the oversized walk-in closet. Truly one floor living. Enjoy outdoor access from every first-floor room – perfect for mornings on the front porch watching the sunrise, or relaxing afternoons in the screened-in back porch or on the deck overlooking the lush, fully fenced yard. The 6’ privacy fence is lined with mature trees and shrubs for ultimate seclusion. This home went from Mount Vernon eyesore to envy. All but the wall and porch facing Second Avenue was demolished. New foundation was poured and this home was re-built. The home is 2 blocks from Davis Park and swimming pool and a 5 block walk to quaint Main Street. Assessed at $522,000. One-of-a-kind home – not to be missed!
