The wait is over. This iconic stone manor house will capture your heart... and it can entertain a crowd, both inside and out! Sited on .63 acre of super private property in the heart of historic Lawrence Park West, this handsome south facing Tudor catches wonderful light all day. Expansive stone terraces on three sides of the house provide elegant and easy outdoor entertaining spaces, accessed from all the right rooms. Beyond the front center hall, a dramatic sunken living room with stunning bay window and original fireplace provides access to a lovely stone terrace. The living room adjoins an inviting wood paneled family room with corner fireplace that also opens to the terrace. The banquet sized dining room is appointed with yet another period fireplace and leads to an oversized vintage butlers pantry for easy entertaining. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a large breakfast area and access to the well landscaped backyard with yet another stone terrace. A laundry room off the kitchen is a huge convenience. Upstairs, the airy primary suite is appointed with a lovely east facing bay window and adjoins an attractive Waterworks bath as well as a spacious sitting room. Down the hall, two additional large bedrooms both adjoin ensuite baths, also with Waterworks. Off a separate staircase, two more bedrooms (one serves as a perfect WFH office) with a hall bath offer consummate privacy for guests. The lower level features additional bonus space plus a fresh new half bath. All this plus central air, a stunning slate roof, and a 2 car attached garage with easy access to the kitchen. And a new whole house generator provides peace of mind in any storm! A rare opportunity to own a fully restored period property with all the modern conveniences, so close to Bronxville Village and train.
