Once upon a time in America, master craftsmen built homes for the ages. Here is one such timeless classic. Last sold 45 years ago, this impeccably updated and meticulously maintained grand home illustrates the best of the classical revival period farmhouse style, with its architecturally detailed 3800 sq feet of scaled and proportioned living space. This coveted jewel of a home is unique since it is located just a short walk to Metro-North allowing a hassle-free 70 minute NYC commute, yet it sits on a 0.41 beautifully landscaped acre and even offers immediate rental income. Lakes, parks, shopping and highways are minutes away, and the Putnam Trailway bike path is just down the road. Bounded by rock walls, evergreens and mature flowering trees and shrubs of all kinds, you can privately bird watch in your own yard, plant a large organic vegetable garden or add an outdoor kitchen. The quality of this home is apparent as you walk up its 3 solid granite block front steps onto the enormous columned front porch perfect for sipping an afternoon glass of wine or dining al fresco with friends. Inside, you will feel at home in the gracious central hall with its grand staircase, magnificent generously proportioned rooms with 9 ft ceilings, over-sized light filled windows, intricately laid and recently polished original wood floors, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, pocket and five panel doors and outstanding fine mill work. The home was recently renovated and is move-in-ready. The kitchen with granite counters has upscale appliances and custom cabinetry. The numerous recent mechanical updates include a new roof, re-pointed chimneys, rebuilt Yankee gutters, new electrical panels and lighting, an efficient steam boiler and separate hot water heater, and even new basement steam pipes. The second floor has 4 spacious bedrooms with abundant closet space along with a timeless white marble-tiled main bath. While this home lives like a single family, the third floor has separate access added when the home was converted to a legal 2-family. The 3rd floor's gabled rooms have 9 ft ceilings, refinished heartwood pine floors, lots of closets and all new windows offering expansive 360 views from the spacious kitchen, airy living room, 2 bedrooms, and renovated bath. The space can easily be recombined, or can be rented to generate income. The option is yours. The adjacent two car garage with more than 500 sq ft of unfinished vaulted studio space on its second floor offers endless possibilities, including an additional rental opportunity for professional or office space, adding tremendous additional value to this home.
