Property Description
Renovated under the creative eyes of its artist-owners, be prepared to be awed by the expansive hillside views from this special 2350 sf turn-of-the-century 2-family farmhouse Colonial in Dobbs Ferry. It is a truly rare find: offering the privacy and exclusivity of a superb single-family home while providing the added benefit of an income-bearing unit (known as “The Cottage”) discretely tucked away! Sitting on a bucolic .4-acre property canopied with hemlocks and Japanese maples, the primary home stands out for its glorious front entry balcony with a jaw-dropping bird's-eye vista of woodland wonder. Inside, there are beautiful materials like wide plank floors of scraped hickory, maple and mahogany railings, and period wood trim throughout. The main level offers an open-plan living/dining room awash in sunlight, featuring 9-ft-high ceilings, bay window seat, and sprawling sky views. Flow into a spacious renovated kitchen with stainless appliances, black Brazilian granite counters, and a 3-seater peninsula. The generous side-yard dining deck is a perfect retreat overlooking the property, sheltered and shaded by mature trees. Upstairs, three bedrooms and hall bath all have gorgeous greenery views, with a mesmerizing lush panorama from the primary. Find an enchanting ADDITIONAL 500 sf space on the third floor to inspire work or recreation, with wide-plank cedar walls, soaring gabled ceilings, and more captivating vistas over verdant hills of the neighboring villages. Possibilities for other work spaces are found on the additional 800 sf walk-out lower level that also includes a powder room, plenty of storage, and a 2-car garage with custom-crafted hardwood doors and EV charging station. Stroll past a park-like side lawn with dramatic rock outcropping to access the separate entry door of “The Cottage.” This 800-sf attached 2BR rentable unit has been wholly modernized, featuring hardwood floors, stained glass, and kitchen with mudroom access to yard and garden. The main bedroom with a connected sunroom creates a superb home office with magnificent 180-degree vistas. This unique property feels remote yet so close to all Rivertowns' amenities, with the 14-mile South County Trail just down the hill. The winning combination of Ardsley schools and Dobbs Ferry services make this home an absolute treasure.
