Curb appeal reigns supreme for this elegant Northside Georgian Colonial, where lush lawns cascade from its brick and ivy façade just a few blocks from downtown and New York City Mid-town Direct commuter trains. A major renovation and expansion, completed in 2006, enhance the beauty and comfort of the home, encompassing a family room and kitchen, master suite, lower level recreation room, mechanical systems, and so much more. A gracious foyer is flanked by its formal rooms, with hallway views that extend to the home's lovely central courtyard.The inviting living room opens to a delightful den/home office with walls of glass on three sides that offer pastoral property views. The formal dining room is embellished with elaborate millwork and trims, a focal "decorative only" fireplace framed by twin lighted arched curio cabinets, and a swinging door to the butler's pantry and kitchen beyond -- ideal for entertaining guests. Rich custom cabinetry dresses the kitchen, set against sleek granite countertops and a center island anchored on hardwood floors. The breakfast area accesses the courtyard comprised of a herringbone-patterned patio, brick knee walls, exterior lighting and secluded lawns framed by privacy plantings that create the perfect venue for extended al fresco dining and private outdoor relaxation. Walls of custom built-ins extend to a handsome adjacent family room, complete with built-in work station and spiral staircase to the second floor. The piece de resistance is the great room set beneath a cathedral ceiling with soaring beams and track lighting, recessed cove lighting and Atrium window that hover over the dramatic room, with no fewer than five sets of sliders to the property and courtyard, along with a custom built-in media unit. A nearby full bath with oversized shower, plus a mudroom with built-in cubbies and door to an oversized two-car attached garage add convenience. An open second-floor landing introduces spacious bedrooms with double custom-fitted closets. A master sitting room and two generous custom-fitted walk-in closets enhance the gracious master suite, while the luxury master bath has dual marble-topped custom vanities, a jetted tub, oversized corner frameless shower and distinctive tumbled marble tile floors and walls. Two bedrooms are joined by a Jack and Jill bath with shower over tub, while a rear hallway with French doors and Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard leads to a fourth bedroom with ensuite bath. A second-floor laundry room with built-ins and Bessler pull-down hallway stairs to attic storage complete this level. There is extra leisure living to be enjoyed in lower level recreation room with high ceilings and natural light, finished with neutral wall-to-wall carpeting. Two large storage rooms are located nearby. With virtually every aspect of this home renovated, updated and enhanced, this superlative residence will appeal to the most discerning of homebuyers.
