38 Forest Ln

A Georgian Center Hall Colonial on a quiet, Village street with a true neighborhood feel. Lush landscaping, mature trees, and a bluestone and brick walk set the tone before you even step inside. Built in 2014, this home captures the architectural details of an earlier era with none of the compromises of one. The first floor opens with ten-foot ceilings, coffered millwork, herringbone floors, a carefully chosen paint palette, and beautiful lighting fixtures throughout. Nine-foot ceilings carry through the upper levels. The quality is there at every turn, expressed in the details rather than announced by them. The kitchen is the center of this house in the best way. An open concept space that brings together the kitchen, a dine-in area, and a great room with built-in window seats and a fireplace. The expansive island with sink, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, Wolf range, wall oven and two dishwashers give it serious function. French doors open directly to the patio and garden, so the inside and outside connect the way they should. That backyard is worth lingering in. A generous patio, a play area, and a perimeter of mature evergreens that make the whole space private and quiet. Flat, finished, and completely low maintenance. The formal living and dining rooms flow naturally into a great room, all of it framed by the kind of millwork and ceiling height that newer construction rarely gets right. The attached garage connects directly to a mudroom, keeping the day organized from the moment you walk in. Excellent closet space throughout the home means everything has a place. Upstairs, the primary suite is large and light-filled, with a soaking bath, separate shower, double vanity and double custom closets. Three additional bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite completes the second level. A terrific laundry room, large bonus room, fifth bedroom (office), full bathroom and extensive storage can be found on the third level. The lower level is extraordinary, featuring a wonderful playroom, a flex room set up as a gym, the sixth bedroom with a full bath, utilities and closet space. For a home at this level, it is rare to find this much finished, flexible space below grade. Built in 2014 and meticulously maintained, the systems are all in excellent condition. Tankless water heater, full HVAC, and an interior sprinkler system throughout. Move in and enjoy, there is nothing to do. Homes like this do not come along often in Bronxville Village. The architecture, the space, the setting, and 30 minutes to Grand Central. This is the one.
