169 Neperan Rd Tarrytown, NY 10591

Hidden behind the lovingly maintained perennial and evergreen garden, down the foliage-filled bluestone path, you'll find this pristine fairy tale treasure. Tucked into the Tarrytown hills, overlooking the Hudson River, and sitting on over half an acre, this meticulous Colonial has had a top to bottom restoration that preserved the elegance and practicality intended by its original owner, the notable suffragette, and assemblywoman, Jane H. Todd. Architect-designed and built during World War II, this home was originally planned to be nearly three times its current size, but prudence and sacrifice won out, and we now have a historic home that feels more opulent than many of the nearby mansions. There are so many fascinating details about this house, but what we noticed first was the peace and quiet that envelopes you as you move through the separate spaces. The 173 square foot three-season room that can be used all 4 seasons (not included in taxable square footage) has bluestone floors, three walls of Lepage casement windows, and opens out to the front garden. The sprawling living room has river views and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with marble relocated from Ms. Todd's Manhattan apartment. The gorgeous eat-in kitchen has appliances by Smeg & Bosch, a built-in refrigerator, and opens out to a lovely fenced-in bluestone front patio. The formal dining room, which could also serve as a first floor guest room, was originally the office of Ms. Todd where she drafted bills for women's rights and the prohibition of wage discrimination against women. She was ahead of her time. And so is her home. Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms -- the largest of which has two walk-in closets and its own decked terrace with serene sunset views of the River and the dramatic Palisades year round. The hall bathroom is reminiscent of a luxurious European spa. The discerning will immediately grasp the importance and uniqueness of this home, with additional features that include high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, 22 sun-filled windows, original millwork and built-ins, new electric wiring, modern plumbing with high end fixtures, a huge walk-around attic, a large 675 SF unfinished basement with high ceilings, high-end laundry, ample storage opportunities, and a fenced vegetable garden. The large detached one-car garage has additional storage in its loft. Stroll up to the Tarrytown Lakes Trails or down the sidewalk to Main Street, the Historic Old Croton Aqueduct, the Scenic Hudson Riverwalk, Tarrytown Music Hall, Metro North, and all the shops, restaurants, and attractions that the bustling Village of Tarrytown is known for. Please note the home's assessment was just reduced to $720,100 which may reduce the annual taxes. Taxes shown do not include the $1,746 STAR credit.
