Description
After almost 60 years enjoying this family home it is time to pass to another owner, with a little bit of love and updating this home has so much to offer. While this home needs updating throughout, the location and setting is unmatched. A classic covered front porch sets a gracious tone, guiding you into a large living room with a large picture window and a convenient coat closet. Just beyond, an eat-in kitchen invites gatherings both small and large; while its finishes reflect another era, the space is wonderfully functional with abundant cabinetry, excellent prep surfaces, and a door that opens to a deck with a retractable "sunsetter" awning. The main level is anchored by three comfortable bedrooms, each fitted with good closet space and a full hall bath. The primary bedroom is particularly roomy, easily accommodating a king-size suite of furniture with space to spare. Upstairs, a delightful surprise awaits: an office that adjoins a sizable bedroom complete with full bath, stall shower, large closet, and generous under-eave storage. Whether envisioned as a secluded guest retreat, a studio, or a future primary suite, this level offers remarkable flexibility. A walk-out basement spans the entire footprint of the home and presents endless potential. Currently arranged with a recreation room, laundry area, and an expansive unfinished workshop, it is a dream for contractors and makers alike—many tools and pieces of equipment will convey. A powder room with a utility sink adds everyday practicality, while the direct access to an attached shed keeps lawn, bicycle, and gardening essentials right where you need them. Outside, mature plantings frame both the front and back yards, creating a sanctuary that seasoned gardeners will truly appreciate. The location further elevates the appeal. Directly across the street you will find a vibrant community center featuring a highly regarded day-care program, playground, and ball fields. A short stroll takes you to ten-acre Ardsley Park, complete with tennis courts, basketball courts, additional play spaces, and athletic fields. Commuters will love the easy walk to Ardsley Train Station, and major roadways, sought-after Copper Beech Elementary and a variety of shopping and dining destinations are all minutes away. Solid construction, timeless character, and an abundance of living space combine with a prime setting to offer extraordinary potential. Bring your vision and transform this beloved home into the showplace it is waiting to become. Opportunities of this caliber and location seldom last—make it yours and write the next chapter in its remarkable story.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
