There is a lot to love in this mid-century modern home: one-level living, soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and multiple connections to its exquisite low-maintenance property. Located in a quiet neighborhood in the Village of Irvington, the home sits on a half-acre plus of private, wooded grounds replete with level lawn areas, (one of which can accommodate a lap pool). Discover its profound tranquility both inside and out. As you enter the home, you are struck by its soaring 12-foot-high gabled ceiling that floats above the oak floors of an open-concept plan. Nature lovers will delight in a generous living room saturated with light, where floor-to-ceiling windows showcase stunning tree top vistas and colorful foliage throughout the year. The room features an impressive entertainment wall of period mahogany built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace with stone hearth/mantel, and flanking glass doors to an extensive wrap-around deck and stairs to the backyard haven. The babbling of Barney Brook provides the perfect setting to enjoy the woodland panorama while dining al fresco. The deck is also accessible from a home office/guestroom with vaulted ceiling, additional treetop vistas, and convenient door to a spacious 2-car garage. A bright and airy skylit kitchen is open to the landscape view and ready for you to make your mark. Three bedrooms and hall bath are on this main level, with the primary enjoying south and east-facing windows, a double-wide closet, and a skylight that bathes its ensuite bath in light. Find a fabulous entertainment area in a walk-out lower level(an estimated 600 SF) with a wall of glass and two doors to a peaceful, private patio and meandering pathways through gorgeous grounds. This bonus level is complete with a custom-built wet bar, Georgian marble fireplace, the home's 3rd full bath, walk-in closet, and ample storage areas. The hard-wired, whole-home generator is a valued amenity. Wrap up the day by enjoying splendid sunsets every evening from west-facing windows. With award-winning schools, a stone's throw from Halsey Pond, O'Hara Nature Center, the beautiful Irvington Reservoir and woods, and a 40-minute commute into Grand Central from Irvington's charming downtown, come visit 255 Harriman - a special, secluded oasis in the Rivertowns.
