Property Description
Reminiscent of Hollywood movies from the Golden Era, the Dutch Colonial Revival represented the quintessential American dream home. Charming porticos with columns, paneled front doors flanked by sidelights, and multi-pane windows created an architectural style that was both welcoming and familiar—the ideal house to call home. The only thing missing here is the white picket fence!
Built in 1901, the understated elegance of the exterior carries beautifully into the interior, where clean lines, original millwork, herringbone parquet floors, and beautifully restored details are enhanced by beautiful natural light.
A welcoming entry hall and graceful staircase with turned balusters anchor the parlor floor, with the expansive living room to one side and the dining room and kitchen to the other. The sun-filled living room features floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and a bay of three windows overlooking the picturesque, tree-lined street.
Adjacent to the living room is an exceptional sunroom with nine oversized arched Norwood windows and a wood-burning fireplace. Bright and inviting, it is an ideal space for relaxing, reading, or gathering with family and friends.
To the other side of the entry hall, the enchanting dining room features a symmetrical bay of three windows and intricate dental crown molding. A convenient powder room and bright breakfast room with additional oversized arched Norwood windows that overlook the lush rear garden.
The newly renovated chef's kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, generous stretches of granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances including a Frigidaire Professional 36 inch 5 burner gas stove, whirlpool refrigerator, whirlpool dishwasher and Frigidaire Gallery microwave.
Both the kitchen and sunroom open directly onto the professionally landscaped, fully enclosed garden. A bluestone patio and impressive outdoor kitchen—with hot and cold water, a 50-inch Fire Magic grill with rotisserie, two-burner cooktop, and refrigerator—make this an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining. An integrated sound system and landscape lighting complete the space.
The second floor offers three bedrooms and two baths. The generously proportioned primary suite accommodates a king-size bed and additional furnishings and features two large closets and an ensuite bath with a frameless glass-enclosed shower and clawfoot tub. Two additional bedrooms share a large Jack-and-Jill bath with a frameless glass enclosed shower.
The third floor offers two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, providing excellent flexibility for bedrooms, offices, guests, or additional living space.
The finished basement adds another dimension to the home, with a large open recreation/gym area, sauna, half bath, laundry room, and ample storage. A private driveway and garage provide convenient parking for two cars. Conveniently located near the B and Q express trains and the vibrant shops, restaurants, and amenities of Newkirk Plaza and Cortelyou Road.
