Dutch Colonial with a center hall and double brick construction in a blonde yellow color. This historic home may have inspired Painted Post Colonial Days and features a stately two-story center hall with a very symmetrical layout. From the moment you enter, the scale and character are evident, with hardwood floors running throughout most of the home. Experience a sense of grand scale with soaring ceilings and expansive rooms across both levels. The massive living room offers one of two fireplaces and flows into an adjoining sunroom with its own fireplace, creating two distinct yet connected gathering spaces. The first floor also includes a formal dining room, a breakfast nook, and a classic kitchen with its original tiled butler’s pantry and extensive cabinet and counter space. Two large sunrooms sit on either side of the home—one is a bright 3-season room with a ceiling fan, while the other is the same size with hardwood floors and heat for year-round use. A convenient half bath completes the main level.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized, especially the primary bedroom, which features two entry doors and large walk-in closets; a fourth bedroom could be added with a wall. The primary bathroom includes a radiant heat floor, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, with an additional full bath also located on the second floor. At the top of the stairs, a wall of original storage cabinets adds both character and function; an additional room with a whole-wall bookcase has been used as a home office.
Offering over 3,100 square feet of living space, the home sits on a spacious corner lot in the Village, within walking distance to parks and trails and convenient to shopping and I-86. The solid double brick walls help keep the home cool during summer months, and a brand new boiler supports the hot water radiator heating system. The property also includes a detached two-car garage, likely once a carriage house, along with space for a garden. Built in 1925 and owned for 26 years, this well-maintained home is a rare find at this price point. Qualified buyers only; please remove shoes for showings.
