More than three decades have passed since this iconic home has been on the market! If you have walked or biked or simply driven by you know it….and you have thought “That’s such a cool house”! If ya know, ya know.. If ya don’t…come find out! 75 Lakeside Drive in Glenwood Lake is a house that stands out for its location and design. Sited on a private, lush, park-like double lot bordering the beloved Glenwood Lake this Jazz-Age Moderne showpiece which was built in 1933 feels as evocative as a Duke Ellington tune of that era. Remarkably prescient in it’s open floor plan and fully aware of it’s lush surroundings which lends it a tree-house feel and graces it with lake views when the trees are out of leaf, this sleek home will surprise you at every turn! An enormous tiled patio ringed by original stone stairs and knee walls that can seat an endless number of friends & family welcomes you. Step up & in to the Great Room which holds an open flow living room, dining & kitchen space & is anchored by a custom stone clad floor to ceiling hearth with a wood-burning fireplace (there’s a second wbfp in the Primary bedroom!). Features such as built-in wall cases, a work desk, a letter writing counter, and original hardwood floors create the flow of an easy to cook in eat-in kitchen/dining space where the calming hues of a tiled backsplash wall smiles on a gas fired Thermador cooktop with 4 burners and an indoor grill, separate oven, a stainless refrigerator with French Doors, a stainless dishwasher, Scandinavian style cabinetry & a brilliantly crafted pantry magically opens to a surprising amount of storage space. Moderne design carries you up a creak-free steel cased floating staircase to a landing which is lit by natural light dancing through Moderne wall of glass brick that is an earmark of the periods architectural style. The enormous en-suite Primary bedroom is accented with mood lighting, warmed by hardwood flooring & a wood-burning fireplace & has a delta wing shaped sleeping alcove with tree house views from its wall of windows. The entire room feels like a snow-globe & will dramatically highlight the nature outside in all seasons! Cedar closets, cedar-lined ceiling in the dressing area & also in the huge bathroom which features honed marble, a Mediterranean style wet-room shower and a soaking tub. Two additional light & bright bedrooms with cedar closets & more tree-house views plus a full hall bath nearly round out this level. Why nearly? Surprise! A door leads out to a second tiled patio overlooking the lake property where you can read, sip, or snooze and choose to take the sun or sit under the loggia while you listen to your feathered neighbors sing from the trees surrounding you. But wait all of you cool cats…there’s more! A spiral stair ascends to a true three-season atelier with a panoramic surround of windows designed for painting by the original artist owner who built the home. If painting is not your jam how about writing or yoga or work space with views? A door leads to an alfresco mirador (that you will completely adore) with 360 degree wrap around views that are simply breath taking. All this and just a stroll to Webster Elementary, shops, delis, restaurants, cafes, playgrounds & yes…Pelham Metro North Railroad which is just 3/4 of a mile away! It’s like being Upstate....Downstate! An icon becomes an icon for good reason…make this one yours in this new season!
