Walking into this 1938 granite and shingle Colonial is like opening a jewel box. It’s sleek and sophisticated yet retains its classic period details. The luster of the dark inlaid oak floors, crown moldings, French doors and arched doorways create an atmosphere of simple elegance. The centerpiece of the living room is a gorgeous granite fireplace with slate hearth. Above the fireplace is a Panasonic flat screen TV with a 5.1 surround sound system (all included)...like having your own theater! The living room runs the length of the house with a French door out to a lovely covered stone terrace for alfresco dining, rain or shine. Cross the center hall and the spacious dining room leads into the stunning state-of-the-art kitchen with beautiful cherry cabinetry, granite countertop with tiled backsplash, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances (SubZero refrigerator, 5-burner Wolf gas range with exhaust hood, Bosch dishwasher, Wolf double wall oven with warming drawer, microwave). The cathedral-ceilinged family room addition is adjacent to the kitchen and offers a great casual dining area or a convenient place to hang out to socialize or watch TV with easy access to the yard. With windows on three sides, including a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, the outdoors becomes part of this fabulous space. There’s a wonderful sense of light, space and flow to the overall layout of the first floor. Whether indoors or out, this home is perfect for entertaining. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms (all with hardwood floors, two with walk-in closets and one with its own expansive rooftop deck open to the sun and overlooking the beautiful property) and the baths are mid-century modern with a deco flair. The finished basement playroom adds approx 500 additional square feet of living space. Many older homes don’t have a garage but not only does this house have a garage, it’s a two-car garage just steps from the back door...a true rarity. It’s also got a driveway large enough to enjoy the basketball hoop on the garage. And the yard...this is the kind of yard that home buyers dream of...a .34 acre oasis of privacy that feels like country living in the city, just minutes from midtown NYC. It’s a gardener’s delight with easy care lawn, perennial plantings, flowering forsythia and azaleas, iris, hosta and evergreens for low maintenance and high enjoyment. There are level grassy areas for backyard games or practicing your golf on the “chipping green” as well as cozy nature-made nooks for quiet conversation, reading or relaxing. Just what a home should be...a peaceful haven away from all the activities of everyday life. Spectacular condition with many updates including central air. This is your chance to own something very special. On a beautiful tree-lined block in historic Park Hill. Great location with close access to parkways (east to the shore or north to the mountains) and a brief 25 minutes to midtown Manhattan via Metro North or 10 minutes to NYC subway.
