Description

Step into this better-than-new Center Hall Colonial, ideally nestled in one of Scarsdale’s most sought-after neighborhoods near Quaker Ridge E/S. Built in 2011 by Castlewalk Builders, this exciting residence offers a bright, open floor plan with 9 foot ceilings and a perfect layout. From the welcoming Entrance Hall, warm sunshine pours through the house, from the rear property. To the left, a gracious Living Room; to the right, an expansive formal Dining Room with Butlers Pantry. The heart of the home is a spacious, gourmet Kitchen featuring an oversized island w/breakfast bar seating, high-end stainless appliances (incl Viking cooktop, Bosch double ovens (one w/convection) and 42” Sub Zero refrigerator). Views of the private rear yard and gardens are delightful, and sliding glass doors offer easy access to a large cedar deck for entertaining and year-round barbecue. An inviting Family Room w/wood-burning fireplace is located adjacent to the Kitchen, well-designed for interactive activities between the spaces. The main level also includes a quiet home office, a powder room, and a mudroom which has a built-in bench and cubbies and is located directly 2 steps from the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite features a soaring tray ceiling, two large walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, a separate soaking tub and shower. Four additional bedrooms and two full baths complete this level. One of the bedrooms is huge and is currently used as an upstairs Playroom. A rear stairway and a second-floor laundry provide additional convenience. The expansive lower level is -as of yet unfinished; however, it is a full basement w/nearly 9-foot ceilings. It was architecturally designed and constructed to be finished, to incl a future exercise room, media room, playroom, 6th bedroom (w/egress) and full bath (plumbed and ready). Outside, enjoy a flat, quiet rear yard w/Green Giant evergreens for privacy. There is possibility for a pool with some modification as the property is .46 acre and well-suited for a pool. The property also features mature, flowering perennial trees bushes, and gardens. A bluestone front walkway welcomes guests, and the driveway is spacious, allowing for ample parking. Landscaping and other features include an attractive Belgian block driveway curbing, an oversized cedar deck, LED landscape lighting (front & rear), a full lawn irrigation system, and a 20 KW Generac whole-house generator. Owners have meticulously maintained and updated this house. It is truly a gem! Located just one block from Quaker Ridge School, playgrounds, shopping, and restaurants, this home is in a super convenient location and offers every luxury.
