Located within a heartbeat of everything Dobbs Ferry has to offer, this picturesque Village Victorian is set within the only historic district in the Village. Enchantment awaits as soon as you step onto this lush and level .26-acre property. Built in 1860, the pristine and updated home retains its period features, including gingerbread eave trim, 9-foot-high ceilings, wide plank floors, two-over-two windows, and generous sundrenched bays. A romantic wisteria-covered front porch feels private and serene, awash in dappled southern light. Inside, wide openings create a gracious flow between spaces, inviting natural light to permeate the rooms. Filtered sunlight from the porch creates the perfect mood in a lovely south-facing living room. An elegant formal dining room is anchored between an entertainment room at one end, for comfortable gatherings, and a sunny bay alcove at the other, offering a peaceful place for leisure. Modern convenience and original detail combine in a spacious eat-in kitchen connected to every room on the floor, with ample wood cabinetry and 4-seater peninsula. From there, access a large mudroom/office filled with light, or step outside to a bluestone patio for a restorative evening meal. Upstairs, a luxurious 2017 primary suite addition features a voluminous bedroom with separate dressing room, views of golf course greenery, and a glistening bathroom with radiant-heated tile floor, step-in glass shower, and southern bay windows flooding the room with light. Two additional bedrooms enjoy double exposures and sizable closets. Storage is abundant with walk-up attic, walk-out basement, and both floors outfitted with built-ins. Let your imagination soar in a versatile barn structure with standing seam roof off the rustic rear alley: potting shed, garage, playhouse, entertainment space, or even a potential accessory apartment! Gardeners will delight in the verdant property including a fruitful apple tree, prolific raspberry bushes, and an enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds. A grand perk is the home's superb location! The Middle/High School is just up the street. Within blocks, visit the Aqueduct Trail, Juhring Nature Preserve, Gould Park/Pool, downtown shopping, and the MetroNorth train! Inside and out, it is rare to find a move-in ready gem such as this.
