About This Home

As of May 2025

Privacy and location! Enjoy living in one of Katonah's premier locations, moments to Caramoor Center for the Arts and on the Bedford Riding Lanes trail system. This 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath Dutch Colonial has been updated on 4 usable acres. Upon entering the home, the foyer invites you into the large living room and adjacent dining room, seamlessly flowing into the modernized country kitchen with quartz counter-tops and dining nook. Step out and listen to the birds sing from the deck and enjoy the expansive, south-facing backyard. Completing the first floor is a generous, wood-beamed family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace. A bonus room above the garage offers versatile space for additional living or entertaining. The second floor presents a luxurious Primary Suite, 3 additional well-sized bedrooms, and updated bathrooms. Hardwood flooring throughout, a whole-house generator, and an unfinished walk-out basement provide endless customization possibilities. It is conveniently located to the Katonah train, town, shops, and within the Katonah Elementary and John Jay Middle, and High School system.
