It's more than bedrooms and bathrooms, it's the quality of life you'll enjoy at this "Painted Lady" in Katonah Village. Voted one of Westchester's Top 10 Downtowns by Westchester Magazine (Best of Westchester 2021), it's no wonder that this is one of the first places those moving north from the City look to find a home. "The Hamlet" of Katonah is a place rich in cultural and recreational offerings and "The Village", the main business district, has an artsy and casual vibe with beautiful shops, many different dining and food options and where neighbors run into one another taking their children to school, doing errands downtown or heading to and from the train. Truly, it's a 'feel-good" kind of place and who couldn't use a big dose of that in their daily lives these days? Located just 1 block to shopping, 2 blocks to the Library and 3 blocks to Metro North on one of the prettiest and most neighborly streets in The Village is this 1908 Queen-Anne style "Painted Lady" offering a comfortable and generous, 2,700+ sf of warm woods, gorgeous windows, spacious rooms, a beautiful back yard with stone patio and a super cool 3-story storage barn, a rarity for in-town properties. Lovingly restored and maintained with period details think pocket doors and high parlor ceilings and tasteful, functional updates, including all-new energy-efficient storm windows, blown-in insulation, NEST thermostat and cozy state-of-the-art woodstove. The gracious front foyer welcomes guests and offers entry to the living room with oversized windows and handsome millwork including an archway with a marbled coffee bar that leads to the spacious eat-in kitchen with great light and rich soapstone counters, a powder room and a door to a stone patio -- perfect for grilling and dining al fresco in back. The family room with stately built-ins and woodstove links to a side porch shaded by a trellis and vines, perfect for a hammock in the warmer months and a wood stack in the cooler weather or outdoor dining on the front porch. A sweeping staircase with a charming curled banister takes you to four bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor and the top floor features a large, paneled room perfect for exercise or guests or a media center, or all three, plus two spaces that can serve as walk-in closets and/or dressing areas and a half bath. Generous storage in the pull-down attic, full basement, and spectacular three-level barn with cupola. Low taxes with stroll-to-all convenience Metro North, shopping, town park and pool, and the KES elementary school. This is truly an opportunity not to be missed.
