With its exceptional location of being just a half block from Philipse Manor Metro North train station, commuting to NYC, or traveling north for a day trip is a breeze. This 2,400 square foot home is one of the original residences of Philipse Manor, dating back to 1923, with its symmetrical Dutch Colonial design and many period details still gracing the interior and exterior, including two working fireplaces in the Living Room and Dining Room with their original mantels, a grand and graceful center staircase, front entry portico, and quaint window shutters.

The serene primary suite features its own en-suite bathroom and a historic fireplace that can be restored to working condition, with original mantel, while the two additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully positioned full bathroom. This lovingly maintained home provides a move-in-ready opportunity for the new owners. Throughout the home, you'll also discover an exceptional collection of stylish, eclectic lighting fixtures imported from Europe by the current owners—a unique feature that adds sophisticated ambiance.
