Description

This magnificent 5-to-6-bedroom stately stucco home is unique in Dobbs Ferry for its prime and peaceful corner property, affording sweeping and uninterrupted views of scenic golf course greenery. Recalling the charm of the Cotswolds, it is set on a level .33 acres. Elevated from the street by bucolic stone walls and evergreen shrubbery, the home offers profound tranquility that is unusual in a home only minutes away from the heart of downtown. The extensive interior, with hardwood floors and period moldings, takes every advantage of the astonishing location. A living room, with attractive wood-burning fireplace, offers a commanding panorama of the golf course from two exposures, with a picture window extending the expansive sky and fairway views as far as the eye can see. An adjacent dining room has its own picture window vista and door to the back yard. The home’s enormous great room is a showstopper, with 14’ high vaulted ceiling, windows onto greenway vistas, wood parquet floor, brick-arched wood-burning fireplace, and a 20-ft-long wall of wood built-ins. Southern light streams into a spacious modern country kitchen/butler’s pantry with direct access to a side yard porch. Up the entry foyer’s light-filled stairway, find a primary bedroom featuring 2 sunny exposures, both overlooking the greens, and a dressing vestibule leading to an ensuite bath with its own view. Two additional cheerful corner bedrooms share a hall bath, while the 4th bedroom has access to the primary bath, perfect for nursery or home office. As a bonus, discover a sizeable third floor offering the home’s 5th and 6th bedrooms, as well as a generous hall bath with wood wainscotting and more golf course views. A lower level contains areas for laundry, workshop, and home storage, with door to side yard. A charming alley behind the wood fencing at the yard’s southern border is used to access the home’s detached garage at the rear corner of the property. Though it may feel hard to imagine, the Middle/High School is just up the street, and the Aqueduct Trail, Juhring Nature Preserve, Gould Park/Pool, downtown shopping, and the MetroNorth train are all just blocks away! For its space, location, and the serenity that we all seek, this home should be tops on your list!
