68 Belden Ave Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Character and charm define this 1880's skylight colonial cape on a double lot overlooking the Ardsley Golf Course flats. This house is on the market for the first time in 42 years. The skylit entry, with an antique stained-glass window, leads to a recently updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The home features 3 bedrooms and two full baths. The first story kitchen, living room and dining room have 9' ceilings. The living room has handcrafted wood beams and two large picture windows. In the dining room there is a built-in buffet and a bay window with a cushioned seat for a cozy reading nook. A den, added in 1982, contains a walk-in closet and a full bath, with access to a semi-circular block patio and the backyard. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and four closets, two additional bedrooms, a full walk-in closet (or small office) and a large full bath with two skylights. Other features include a three-zone hot water heating system, natural gas for the stove and washer/dryer hookup on second floor and in the basement. Solid hard-wood floors on the first level have been recently refinished. A second patio, and a rocking-chair porch overlook a spectacular view of the golf course. The property has 3 parking spaces, and a two-story ice house (in need of repair) which was relocated from the Hudson River at the beginning of the century. The location of this property is outstanding: the house sits on a double lot 2 blocks to the village, and walking distance to all Dobbs Ferry schools, restaurants, community pool, Mercy college and parks. Metro North to midtown is 38 minutes.
