Property Description

Step beyond the ordinary and into a residence where history is not merely preserved, it is lived. Nestled on a lush, level property in White Plains' coveted Fisher Hill neighborhood, this extraordinary Colonial stands as a testament to timeless grandeur, architectural artistry, and the enduring craftsmanship of a bygone era. Once home to one of White Plains' most prominent residents for over 60 years, this distinguished residence offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a local treasure. The home's commanding presence is immediately evident from its iconic wraparound porch, pointed-arch rooflines, decorative balcony, intricate window detailing, and magnificent wood entry door framed by stained-glass sidelights. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a breathtaking foyer highlighted by a stately grand wooden staircase, a stunning centerpiece that sets the tone for the remarkable artistry found throughout. Rich original millwork, handcrafted moldings, soaring ceilings, and remarkable wood craftsmanship create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated today. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating rooms designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living. Every space tells a story, from the stately den, perfectly suited for a grand piano, to the elegant formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room, adorned with a striking chandelier, sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while the butler's pantry seamlessly connects to the beautifully appointed kitchen featuring premium Viking appliances, granite countertops, abundant shaker cabinetry, and exceptional storage. Designed to flow effortlessly between indoor and outdoor living, the kitchen provides direct access to a private backyard retreat complete with a covered porch and patio, creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining. The upper levels are equally impressive. A gracious sitting area anchors the second-floor landing, leading to a spacious primary suite with a private bath. Three additional bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath continue the home's thoughtful design, while the third floor offers an additional bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or a private home office. Outside, mature landscaping and inviting outdoor spaces provide a serene retreat and a seamless extension of the home's historic charm. Ideally located near shopping, schools, fine dining, parks, and transportation, with the Metro-North train station just a 15-minute stroll away, this is more than a home, it is a legacy property where architectural authenticity, rich history, and modern comfort converge to create an extraordinary offering.
