View website: http://419orchard.ePropertySites.com - Pretty as a picture, this Dutch colonial is certain to turn heads. Tall trees and manicured shrubbery frame the exterior, as a welcoming front porch invites you to spend some time, relaxing in your rocking chair or porch swing with friends and loved ones. Entering through the glass pane front door, you step inside to find an incredible side hall foyer. The spacious foyer includes an elegant turned staircase and furnishes your introduction to polished wood floors and a decorator's palette. The living room and dining room are separated by a set of pocket doors. The front bay window in the living room and large side windows in the dining room serve to bathe these areas in natural light. From the dining room you have access to a sunny den or breakfast room, the choice is yours. Positioned adjacent to the kitchen, this engaging room has large windows, a tile floor and recessed lights. The kitchen has been nicely updated to include plenty of cabinet storage and counter space. Quality stainless steel appliances are all arranged for easy access, and there is ample space to maneuver through even a complicated recipe. From the kitchen you have stairs to the lower level and a door opening to the deck, patio and backyard. Step outside to enjoy an instant sense of peace and tranquility. The deck is well suited for entertaining, providing plenty of room for picnic tables, a grill and lounge chairs. Beyond the deck, the backyard is level and private. Fencing adds a measure of security for children and pets, while tall trees supply dappled shade. A large storage shed includes flower boxes beneath the windows and a generous amount of space for lawn furniture and gardening equipment. The backyard offers wide open space for endless hours of active play and gardening. In this tranquil setting, it is easy to forget that shopping, schools, recreation, access to major highways and NYC commuter trains are only minutes from your front door. Returning inside, take a moment to inspect the bedrooms situated on the second and third levels. Four bedrooms and a full bath are located on the second level. Each bedroom enjoys a character and charm all its own, and features exposed wood floors, ample closet storage and pleasant treetop views. The configuration of the master bedroom has the potential to create a master bath and/or sitting area. The hall bath is nicely updated with a tile floor, beadboard wainscoting, pedestal sink and tile tub/shower. In addition to a linen closet, the hallway includes stairs leading to the finished third level. At the top of the stairs, you are greeted by a multipurpose room with a high ceiling and two skylights. Exercise room, office or study, this versatile space is ready to suit your individual needs. Also located on this level is the fifth bedroom highlighted by an eyebrow window and walk-in closet. Additional storage is located off the multipurpose room, along with a deep cedar storage closet.
