In the picturesque Shado-Lawn neighborhood of Hastings-on-Hudson - an area reminiscent of the English countryside - discover this attractive 4-BR Tudor-style country home on a handsomely landscaped property. Its distinct character is evident through its stunning architectural details. An arched oak front door with leaded-glass pane is enhanced by a rustic border of brick at the entry. A wood-burning fireplace of rough-hewn stone, steel windows (all with integral pull-down screens), and beautiful oak floors all add to the home's authenticity, while multiple French doors let light sparkle throughout the main floor spaces. There is a spaciousness to the home as you flow through the entry foyer to the sunlit stair hall. A gracious and expansive living room, with fireplace and built-in display cabinetry, is the perfect place to relax, with an adjacent enclosed porch that greets the morning light. At the heart of the home is a striking dining room, bathed in southern and western light - easily a family-favorite gathering spot. It flows directly into a large family room with its south wall opening to a generous brick patio for easy outdoor entertaining. Dine al fresco while overlooking an alluring rear yard, beautifully designed with tasteful and meticulous plantings - the home's own private haven. An updated, sun-drenched kitchen features beamed ceiling, ample counter space, stainless appliances, glass-shelved garden window, and pantry storage. Ascend the sun-filled stairs to a bright and generous landing. A spacious primary bedroom offers oak floors, north and east exposures, and a sunlit ensuite bath. The other 3 bedrooms all generously sized, similarly benefit from oak floors and greenery views. As a bonus, enjoy the 300 sq ft recreation room on the lower level, where one can find the home's second half-bath, laundry area, and loads of storage behind large sliding wood panels. Amenities like central AC and a generous driveway make a world of difference. The serenity of the property extends beyond its property line. Leave the car behind to explore the Croton Aqueduct Trail, Lenoir Nature Preserve, and Riverview Park, all minutes away, while a footpath through the 22-acre Burke Estate leads to ballfields and award-winning public schools. Beyond that, a vibrant downtown is a carless 15-minutes away, with a dazzling 45-minute train ride to GCT. This home has the ideal balance of all the Rivertowns have to offer." © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
