Find peaceful living just blocks away from Dobbs Ferry schools and downtown! On a tranquil corner property raised off the street and peppered with shade trees, this lovely wood clapboard 5-bedroom/4-bathroom Colonial sits with the aura of a restful country home. A prominent portico welcomes you at the front door. Inside, the home sparkles with freshly painted walls and lustrous oak floors throughout. The main level includes a comfortable living room with wood-burning brick fireplace and large south-facing windows, washing the space in natural sunlight that streams into an open adjacent dining/family room - just great for family gatherings. A spacious eat-in kitchen with 3 exposures offers a second dining area, plenty of counterspace, a butcher-block island, laundry niche, and glass sliders to a private dining deck for easy outdoor meals. This level is complete with a south-facing bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or home office. Upstairs, a showstopping primary suite features a bedroom under a soaring 15-ft-high gable ceiling with beams and ceiling fan. The suite includes a sizable walk-in closet/dressing room with window to an expansive sky vista and an ensuite bath with its own discreet views onto nearby treetops. Find two additional bedrooms and hall bath on this floor, all with verdant views. Let your creativity surge in a bonus finished basement(an additional estimated 750 sf) that includes abundant space, the home's 5th bedroom and 4th full bath. Outside, lots of level lawn is there to enjoy, and a detached garage at the western border is conveniently accessible from the kitchen and deck. Set in the heart of the Village, the serenity of the home's corner site is a rare treat. The street at the side yard is a quiet cul-de-sac with just a handful of homes. With easy pedestrian access to the Village downtown, award-winning schools(including a high school IB option), Croton Aqueduct Trail, Village pool and park, Ardsley Country Club golf course, Mercy University, and a 38-minute Metro-North train to GCT, this home is in the center of it all, yet it feels like a remote and relaxing retreat!
