NEW TO MARKET -- FIELDSTON HISTORIC DISTRICT: Elegantly Restored 4-Bd. Tudor Revival-Style House With its steeply pitched slate roof, beautiful half-timbering and decorative brickwork, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, stone, brick and stucco Tudor Revival-style house was built in 1935 for Russell H. Tandy, renowned illustrator of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew detective mysteries. It has been renovated and restored by the current owners with a meticulous eye for historical detail. The house features a gabled entrance portico and a marble center hall. Its 18-by-36-ft. great room is distinguished by a soaring trussed-beam ceiling, massive fireplace with an elaborately carved antique mantle, and new French doors leading to a stone terrace with steps to the rear yard below. Adjoining the formal dining room is the brand-new kitchen (which includes Silestone quartz countertops, new wood floors, a farmhouse sink, 5-burner Bertazzoni stove, porcelain-and-nickel refrigerator and dishwasher, and glass-fronted cabinetry) plus a restored eat-in breakfast nook. The first-floor study, with en-suite bathroom (including vintage fixtures and hand-cut tiles), could serve as a fourth bedroom. The spacious master suite has its own sitting area, and the upstairs bathrooms feature top-of-the-line fixtures that preserve vintage character. The newly refinished basement with a half bathroom is above-ground and can be used as a recreation room. Other features include original woodwork and detail; arched doorways; large storage attic; Mitsubishi split-system air-conditioning; attached 1-car garage; 75-by-88-ft. lot in landmark district. The house is conveniently located for Van Cortlandt Park and the No. 1 subway train to Manhattan.
