The story of the house is that musical theater titan, Oscar Hammerstein resided here! This majestic and richly painted 5 BR Victorian, only steps from downtown, immediately commands attention. Standing proudly on a deep double-lot half acre, this home's classic wrap-around front porch, ornamental posts, and 3-story octagonal turret contribute to its impressive curb appeal. Built in 1898, this modernized beauty has retained characteristic elements - hardwood floors, ornate balustrades, distinctive wood moldings - while adding modern conveniences like an expansive open eat-in kitchen and maintenance-free Hardie Plank siding. A spacious living room filled with light is sure to be a hit, offering 2 sets of French doors and a pair of glass doors opening onto a backyard patio. The turret is incorporated into a formal dining room, where 5 windows adorn the curve of the turret overlooking the front porch to treetop views beyond. The heart of the home is a generous skylit kitchen, with granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas stove, and a versatile island that can happily seat 4. From there, step out to an extended level rear lawn with tall evergreen borders to find a detached 2-car garage and driveway at the end of the property. Three spacious bedrooms on the second level all have wood floors, wide closets, and two sunny exposures with greenery views. The primary includes a deep walk-in closet, ensuite bath awash in eastern sunlight, a brick feature wall, and a cozy sitting area within the corner turret. A third level contains the 4th and 5th cheerful bedrooms - the northern one featuring the dramatic peak of the turret and regal views from on high! A walk-out basement offers great storage. Ridge Road is within minutes of the South County Trailway and both Chauncey and Ardsley Parks, as well as local shops in Ardsley and Rivertowns Square. Located in the award-winning Ardsley School District, this home is brimming with vintage appeal, privacy, and architectural character.
