With a design as bold as it is beautiful, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an enchanting blend of character, sophistication, and serenity—all just minutes from the train and an easy commute to NYC.

With parking for 4–5 vehicles, on a beautiful low-maintenance lot, ease and comfort greet you from the moment you arrive. Inside, the home unfolds like a storybook across three captivating chapters; Chapter One-Grounded Grace: Step through the welcoming foyer into a warm and versatile lower level that lives with intention and flexibility. Here, a spacious family room invites cozy gatherings, while a full bathroom and a generously sized bonus room offers the perfect setup for an au pair, in-law suite, home office, or guest retreat. With its own private feel, this level adds both comfort and function to the home's unique layout; Chapter Two-Restful Retreats: Ascend to the mid-level, where serenity takes center stage. The stunning primary suite is a sanctuary all its own, complete with a private deck overlooking the treetops, a gorgeous fireplace for cozy evenings, and a massive walk-in closet. Imagine waking up to sunrise skies, a gentle breeze, and birdsong as your daily soundtrack. Another sizable bedroom and beautifully renovated full bath complete this restful and refined level; Chapter Three-The Heart of the Home: Step up from the entry foyer into a spectacular great room where soaring wood-beamed ceilings and dramatic windows elevate the space to pure magic. A grand stone fireplace centers the room, infusing it with timeless warmth and charm. The open kitchen—outfitted with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and generous workspace—flows seamlessly into a dining area fit for hosting every celebration and holiday to come. French doors open onto yet another private deck, where nature becomes your daily backdrop. Above it all, a bright and airy loft overlooks the great room—a perfect home office, artist's studio, music nook, or guest space that adds yet another layer of creativity and comfort. Outside, the possibilities continue with multiple dimensions of yard space to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peace of your surroundings.

Pleasant schools, vibrant restaurants, local shops, the glistening town pool, and the Hawthorne Metro-North station, this extraordinary home is a rare fusion of style, space, and soul.
