73 Storer Avenue, Pelham, NY, 10803 | $1,598,000

Waiting for fresh inventory? Just wait till you see what we have in STORER for you! This Pelhamwood beauty vibes like Midwood or Kensington & is as close on foot to train, town & shops as those Brooklyn nabes. Step up to the welcoming front porch & into a graceful entry hall that opens like a warm embrace. Your eyes will be immediately drawn to the beauty & craft of a time when skilled artisans designed & made things built to last. Leaded stained glass windows sparkle with color as they splash light on the hand-laid hardwood floors hewn from old growth forests of a more beauteous age. Soaring 10 foot ceilings, enormously wide room entryways, architectural details such as accent columns, a curvilinear window array with seating, a large custom hearth & mantle with fireplace, a separate alcove with 2 walls of Palladian windows and so much more. Seamlessly blended modern comforts (can we talk geo-thermal cooling and heating a bit later?) can almost be missed amongst all the period details. A delicious dining room flows out from the living-room where coffered ceilings, a leaded glass accent window and perfect proportions set the table that will hold all the food, family & friends you enliven it with. The eat-in kitchen is anchored by a center island which serves as a breakfast bar & prep central. Stainless appliances, cabinets & drawers aplenty to store all of your culinary treasures & it even has a pantry space with a slide out appliance trolly to make those kitchen-aid mixer dreams easy to conjure. Tucked nicely away behind the kitchen is a convenient main level powder room and separate mud room which leads to a covered porch where your al-fresco Shangri-La lifestyle begins. But let’s head upstairs on a romantic Rialto Bridge-like stairway to the 2nd level landing with its luxuriant hardwood floors. The primary bedroom has multiple exposures and 3 closets, and three more large bedrooms have multiple exposures, (one of these bedrooms even has an en-suite full bathroom plus an original sleeping porch that can be used as a creative hang, painting atelier, yoga space, writers lair or just more space to store! A full hall bathroom & linen storage round out the second floor but wait…there’s lots more in store! A third floor (don’t ya just love a 3rd floor?) has yet another bedroom with a terrific window seat and another room that is currently used as an office and can be anything you wish it to be. A huge cedar-lined hall closet completes the third level. All this and we’re just getting warmed up (Geothermal Time!). The ultra-efficient geothermal central cooling & heating system delivers this 1912 masterpiece into the 21st century! The backyard is private and the extra side lot gives you freedom to have a ball game, a frisbee toss, a fire pit, a hammock snooze or simply a green space of your own to putt around on. The 2-car garage, rear veranda and a wisteria-trellised he/she shed will spark the creator in you. Smart thermostats, an invisible fence, and in a location that is the envy of all! A stroll to Pelham RR (shout out to Shea Station!), Colonial Elementary, park & playground, stores, supermarket, restaurants, The Picture House, Art Center & all things Pelham make this a wise & easy choice. Come be the high Scorer at 73 Storer!
