Weekend Real Estate Stalking

Our Blog sponsor Leslie Corcoran shared this fabulous new listing with me this weekend and I am dying to share it with you. What a gem…

A ravishing recently refreshed Nantucket-style colonial, newly constructed in 2000 by Greenwich architect John Downs, boasts a lush, flat landscape and a spectacular 60′ X 40′ elevated outdoor multi-sport court making you feel like you’re on vacation year-round. The colonnaded blue-stone wrap-around porch offers endless opportunities for all-weather, all-season entertaining. Sited on a pin-drop quiet street in the coveted Bronxville school district, this 5-bedroom stunner is minutes to Bronxville Village, Metro North train and the century-old, family-oriented Bronxville Field Club–and all only 30 minutes from Manhattan. Enter through a salvaged antique front door to a soaring double height entrance with beautiful millwork and clerestory windows that leads on one side to the classic living room (10 ft ceilings, crown molding and chair railing and fireplace) on the other to the 1st floor guest room with bedroom, office, shared bath and separate entrance to veranda and a formal dining room with oversized windows and doors to the stone patio. The sun-drenched open-concept kitchen with 4 exposures via over-sized windows encompasses huge island, Rutt cabinets, every luxury appliance including Fisher Paykel Stove top, DCS double oven, 2 Miele dishwashers and Dornbracht faucets. Accommodating any crowd for breakfast or lunch is a stand-out wrap around banquette. Also in this space is game room/family room with big screen TV, wood-burning fireplace and wet bar with icemaker and wine refrigerator. Second floor features a beautiful welcoming primary suite with trayed ceiling, large walk in closet and spa bathroom with dual sink, spa tub and oversized shower. A definite “scene-stealer” is the double-height hexagonal office/den off the primary bedroom, boasting cathedral ceilings and engulfed with windows. Additionally, there are 3 large bedrooms, updated and meticulous large hall bath and large laundry and storage room. Entire third floor is large open living space with work out areas, family area, built ins, storage, updated full bath and oversized windows for natural light. The partially finished lower level has storage, mechanicals, bonus area and wine storage. Border property with choice of school districts- Bronxville or Mt Vernon
