About This Home

As of December 2025

Located at the end of a quiet, tree lined street in the desirable, scenic Stephen Mather neighborhood, is this gracious 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home awaiting its new owners. Occupied and loved by the same family for almost 50 years, this beautiful, cul-de-sac property is set on 2 lush, private acres enhanced by spectacular seasonal plantings and natural light, which pours into the house through oversized cottage-style and bay windows. The first floor, accented by custom millwork, offers a formal living room with fireplace and built-in window seat, a lovely dining room featuring French doors which lead out to a patio with pergola and specimen plantings, as well as a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and charming sitting area. A cozy family room with a distinctive keyhole fireplace, and a library/home office with built-ins and wet bar complete the first floor. Upstairs is an elegant primary bedroom with fireplace, walk-in closet and an updated full bath, along with 4 other bedrooms, 2 full baths and a large, generous multipurpose room presenting numerous options of use. An automatic generator provides additional convenience and comfort to this wonderful home. Minutes to Metro North, Merritt Parkway and Ox Ridge Elementary School. Agent related to owner.
