39 Sycamore Avenue

Are you tired of reading & hearing that there is low or no inventory? And are you also weary of seeing homes that lack the space you wish for & the inherent beauty you dream of? We have just what you need at 39 Sycamore! From curb to crib this home is a standout in The City of Homes! Period details have been as respectfully preserved as they were masterfully crafted by skilled artisans back in 1915. A sheltering portico invites you in to the original tiled entry hall where you can hang coats, drop bags and keep the weather out as you step in through a second door with 15 glass panes & let the natural light follow you in to the foyer where you will be wowed by the period details & the graceful elegance of rooms imbued by the warmth of hardwood floors, millwork, high ceilings & great flow. A living room large enough to create two distinct spaces is anchored by a fireplace that has been enhanced with a wood-burning insert stove which will delight the eye as flames dance in the glass front as it warms you to the bone with it's high BTU heat output which lowers energy use overall. A door from the living room leads out to the aptly named sunporch with its walls of windows, wainscot ceiling & access to the property & backyard. The dining room is perfectly proportioned and flows into the kitchen but also allows you to draw the pocket doors closed if a more intimate meal is desired. Original brass hardware on those pocket doors will take you back to a time of thoughtful craft & design. The kitchen features stainless appliances, lots of cabinet storage, a breakfast bar & a fabulous surprise...a full separate butler's pantry for all the storage & prep space you will need to cook, bake & provide! A main level powder room makes life convenient.
Three exposures light up the primary bedroom which has its own balcony & is enough for outdoor furniture so that a great book, a conversation, a snooze or concert provided by songbirds can be woven into your lifestyle. Two more additional bedrooms on this level make life flexible and one of them has an enclosed sleeping porch that feels like a sanctuary. A full hall bath & linen closet with built-in storage rounds out the second floor....but wait....there's more! Don't you just love a home with a 3rd floor? This one holds 2 more rooms (bedrooms, offices, guest, yoga...you choose!) & a full bath with a claw-footed soaking tub. Downstairs you will find a basement with high ceilings and separate rooms for laundry & endless storage space.The washer & dryer are young, the hot water heater is as well and let's not miss the detached two car (2 bay) garage & large, level fully fenced back yard which is lushly planted and ready to pop with life & color! All this & only 0.6 miles to either Mt. Vernon East or Pelham Metro North RR & even closer to shops, supermarkets, cafe's etc. You get more at Sycamore!
