Description

This stately brick mansion features many unique and well preserved original 1911 classic architectural elements, while powered with a fully owned 10kW solar panel array! This classic colonial boasts huge flowing rooms, high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, a grand staircase and a large backyard on a corner lot in the heart of Pelham Manor. In the grand foyer you are greeted with original hand-carved columns, walnut paneling and beautifully restored barrel-vaulted ceilings. On the first floor, there is a dramatic sunken double living room featuring 10 foot high ceilings, dentil, bead-and-reel and egg-and-dart mouldings, and a vintage fireplace, two powder rooms, a sun room with a fireplace, a family room/5th bedroom with a separate entrance, and a grand dining room with beautifully grained original mahogany paneling and intricate dentil mouldings. Upstairs, there is a windowed library/office, a second office, two large main family bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, an additional bedroom and full bath, and a large dedicated laundry room. The stunning main bedroom suite features a large dressing room, 4 built-in closets and a large private bath with two vanities, a jetted tub and a shower stall with jetted body sprays. The classic original details include two restored copper cupolas and original in-swing French casement windows in the main family rooms. There is a high efficiency natural gas boiler for heat and two zone central air for year round comfort. The house includes custom storm windows and doors that were designed to preserve the original windows and French doors, in addition to providing sound and temperature insulation. Save energy with the fully owned 10kW solar panel array, and there is plenty of space in the utility room to add a large battery-back up system. Need even more space? You’ll love large dry finished basement just off the kitchen which has an installed basement drainage system, the main area recessed beneath the sunken living room and a separate walk-out entrance, and a full walk up attic running the entire length of the house. The covered porte-cochere protects you from the elements. Of note, the brick two car garage has stairs up to a former chauffeur’s apartment which can be used for extra storage. The property is flat and well landscaped with plenty of room for a brand new pool and a large play yard. It’s a quick walk to the Prospect Hill Elementary School and to Four Corners Shopping with bakeries, Lenny’s Bagels, Four Corners Pizza, CVS, Manor Market, salons, and Edo restaurant. You can also use the 7 acre waterfront Shore Park all year round. This home has been in the same family since 1978! This can be your forever home. The photos say it all!
