A Timeless Colonial, Thoughtfully Reimagined for the Way We Live Today
There is a certain feeling you get the moment you arrive, a sense of history, warmth, and quiet refinement. Set on a lush, level acre within the coveted Chappaqua School District, this stately Colonial has been beautifully renovated to honor its classic roots while embracing modern comfort and flexibility.
The home’s striking exterior of cedar shake siding, brick facade, and stately columns sets the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the front door into a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, where light and space immediately welcome you home. The living room invites cozy winter evenings around a classic wood burning fireplace, while a sun filled slate floor family room offers generous space for entertaining, gathering, or quiet moments alike, perfect for everything from a grand piano to relaxed weekend lounging.
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both beauty and function. Bathed in natural light, it features a Viking gas cooktop, double oven, wine refrigerator, and brand new stainless steel appliances, all anchored by a large center island. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a charming dining area where sliding glass doors open to a serene patio, ideal for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or summer evenings under the trees.
Just beyond, a second family room feels like a retreat of its own. With a wood burning stove and walls of glass overlooking the peaceful backyard, it is a space that naturally lends itself to reading, meditating, or simply unwinding at the end of the day.
One of the home’s most valuable and versatile features is found on the main level. A private office or den, comfortably used as a guest bedroom, is located directly across from a full bathroom. This thoughtful layout offers exceptional flexibility and is ideal for in laws, a nanny, extended guests, primary level living, or imaginative use tailored to your lifestyle.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary. Spacious and serene, it features an oversized walk in closet and a luxurious marble spa bath with double vanity and an expansive walk in shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a beautifully updated marble hall bath.
The walk out lower level adds yet another layer of livable space. Whether envisioned as a recreation room, home gym, playroom, or media lounge, it offers full laundry, abundant storage, and direct outdoor access, making it as functional as it is inviting.
Set on a wonderful level property meant to be enjoyed year round, this home effortlessly balances elegance, comfort, and flexibility. It lives as a four bedroom residence with the added benefit of a main level office or den and a full bath, offering a layout that adapts beautifully to modern living.
