127 Woodland Ave

Who could have imagined that you would land in such a perfect place and find that perfect home this season? You did! You conjured it, you manifested it and we listed it! 127 Woodland is that dream. Welcome to THE CROSSROADS AT WOODLAND AND ELM. If you have been pining for a large 2 Family Victorian with a Midwood, Kensington or Ditmas Park Brooklyn vibe but are priced out, welcome to Residence Park in New Rochelle where Victorians are numerous and original slate sidewalks can still be found. Step back to 1900 and dance into your future. Begin by marveling at the wrap-around porch that greets you like an embrace. Come inside & the welcoming hall says hello with soaring 12 foot ceilings and period parquet hardwood flooring. Custom millwork, mahogany paneled rooms adorned with original built-ins, carved wood decorative relief details, bookcases with glass doors, coffered ceilings and so much more. A library opens to a formal dining room anchored by a floor to ceiling custom fireplace (1 of 7 in the home, many are now decorative), and adorned with stained glass accents, and yet more wood-paneled walls that transport you to a time when artisans perfected their craft with pride. The Great Room is cinematically dramatic and will bring an instant WOW to your lips so we will leave it at that..just come see it! The main level of this home also holds an eat-in kitchen, a large powder room, great closets and a very pragmatic surprise. A privately accessed legal one bedroom apartment (fully renovated) with large rooms, walls of windows and closets that are astoundingly spacious. Rental? In-law? Bounce-backs? Au-pair? You choose! Up the spectacular stairs to the 2nd level (11 foot ceilings on this floor!)that has a large landing, four bedrooms, more fireplaces and a wing that has been used as a separate living space (with a large living room, kitchenette, huge bedroom & full bath) and it opens to a private balcony! Another full bath and walk-in closet complete the 2nd story. But wait...there's more, there's so much more! Another full-sized stair to the third floor (now you are above tree tops in this stands tall home) which has 2 more bedrooms, a full bath and a room we will call the atelier where you might paint, or write, or stretch, or simply host the best sleep-overs in the neighborhood! Let's count. 7 bedrooms, 4 full and one half bath, an atelier...and we are still inside! Outside there is an enormous yard with specimen plantings (see separate list) front and back, a porte-cochere from yesteryear and a garage (former stable per the property card!) that is not just enormous but has 2 stories so you can park cars, build stuff in the work shop and then head upstairs to shred with your actual garage band! Triple (yes triple!) glazed energy-efficient windows throughout provide insulation form weather and sound, a 15 year young roof & furnace and all just a stroll to shops, restaurants, supermarkets (see separate list) and a flat mile to Metro North RR & Amtrak! Come see the splendor! Come enhance this jewel & restore it's magnificence. We knew you WOULD LAND well!
