Home Details for 36 Belden Avenue

Unwind on an idyllic rocking-chair front porch at this distinguished 6-BR, 3500-sf Mansard Victorian, located on Belden Avenue - the only designated historic neighborhood in Dobbs Ferry. Sitting on a lovely level .35-acre property, the home is just steps away from Ardsley’s fairway green and a short walk to the Village’s schools, parks, swimming pool, and lively downtown. Painstakingly renovated in 2022, it received upgraded mechanicals, electricals, plumbing, and interior finishes, while successfully retaining its characteristic turn-of-century charm. Slate roof shingles, double bracket eave detail, and decorative balustrades are just some of the preserved hallmarks of the home’s striking architectural style. Inside, elevated 10-ft ceilings, hardwood floors, ceiling medallions, and period moldings contribute further to the home’s elegance and beauty. A stately living room offers exquisite 7.5-ft-tall double-hung windows, deep western window bay, and wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room includes wainscoted walls, with views towards the azalea and vegetable gardens. Southern light floods into a lovely, renovated kitchen offering quartz counters and stainless appliances. Large windows at the sink provide an aperture onto the picturesque backyard, and a nearby door provides direct access to rear porch and yard beyond, fenced in on 3 sides. A gracious family room/first floor bedroom, illuminated by bay windows, can easily accommodate an elegant home office, with a separate entry from the street, and a beautiful renovated bath. The hall stair curves its way to a second level offering 3 distinctive bedrooms, all with 9-ft ceilings and hardwood floors. One features bay windows and cedar closets, while the primary is cheerful and expansive, overlooking the beautiful Belden streetscape. A sizable, renovated bath and versatile laundry room on this floor are both awash in sunlight. Ascend to find 3 additional bedrooms on the 3rd flr with large, gently arched windows framing bright sky views. Here, a voluminous bath bathed in sunlight features a claw-foot tub, oversized step in shower, custom cabinetry, and a convenient second sink area. In the backyard, edged by a private service lane at the far side, discover an attractive 2-car garage/barn with a 2nd flr that provides creative possibilities. With the Aqueduct Trail and Juhring Nature Preserve nearby, enjoy all that Dobbs Ferry has to offer while living in style.
