Description

Located in idyllic Shado-Lawn, a Hastings-on-Hudson neighborhood that has a quaint and comforting village vibe, this 2600 SF 4-BR center hall Colonial delivers on spaciousness and serenity. It sits on its stately .3 acre property above the street behind lofty evergreens and vibrant vegetation, a hallmark of this area. Inside, a warm and welcoming entry/stair hall sets the scene with oak floors and picture-rail crown moldings that continue throughout the home. Flanking dining and living rooms offer wide picture windows with gorgeous verdant vistas to the north. The living room runs the depth of the house, with a wood-burning fireplace and additional views of greenery in the backyard. Awash in light is an architect-renovated kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, tumbled marble splash, one-seater peninsula, and sun-filled breakfast area featuring a generous bay window and built-in bench seating. Expand into a vast and versatile family room – the treasure of the home. With a brick wood-burning fireplace, broad picture window view to the hills on the horizon, and two 4’ wide glass sliders to a private stone terrace, this is perfect for both cozy movie nights or large-scale entertaining. Upstairs, three of the 4 bedrooms are corner rooms with two exposures and large closets. The primary includes a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath with its own hilltop view. As a bonus, the open and expansive 1000 SF unfinished basement, with laundry and workshop, will inspire the imagination: great for potential exercise and recreation room. It’s also easily accessible to the attached 2-car garage. Outdoors, enjoy the tranquility of the low-maintenance rear yard, or leave the car behind to explore the Croton Aqueduct Trail, Lenoir Nature Preserve, and Riverview Park, all minutes away. A bucolic footpath at the end of the street leads through the 22-acre Burke Estate to ballfields and award-winning public schools, while a vibrant downtown is a carless 15-minutes away, where you can find a peaceful 40-minute train commute to GCT along the waterfront. There is even a whole house generator for your peace of mind. This wonderful home should be tops on your list.
