About 40 Baylis Lane
Charming Bedford Retreat with a Storied Past. Set among lush, beautifully landscaped grounds just outside the heart of Bedford, this inviting 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence offers the perfect blend of comfort, character and history. The sprawling one level layout strives to embrace all that the scenery has to offer with many of its rooms opening directly to either the flagstone patio or walkway to the back deck. A private, gated driveway leads to an expertly sited property surrounded by mature trees, meandering paths, and an atmosphere of serene privacy. The grounds evoke a sense of history and culture — a fitting backdrop for a home most recently owned by the daughter of world-renowned opera legend, Beverly Sills. The owner is also the great granddaughter of James C. Fargo, founder of American Express Travelers Checks and a descendent of Mayflower passengers John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Located within the sought-after Bedford Central School District, with convenient access to major highways and Metro North Train Station. Just moments from Bedford’s charming Village Green, this residence offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion and access to shopping, dining, and all that Bedford has to offer.
