About 15 Hillcrest Drive

An iconic Pelham Manor Manse sited on nearly one verdant acre welcomes you through a gated drive which announces your arrival. The welcoming foyer is instantly striking with it’s original flagstone floor, tucked away powder room (there are 3 convenient powder rooms on the main level!), & large coat closet. Step in to the grand welcoming hall where your eye will be swept upward to vaulted ceiling, the castle-thick skip-trowel plaster walls & a plethora of details that you’ve likely seen in Europe but are rare on this side of the pond.An exquisite living room is buttressed by timber beamed ceilings, anchored by a custom carved fireplace & mantle and adorned with built-in book casings, 12’ high ceilings and original hand-tiled sills with decorative tiled radiator covers. Gracefully arched entryways beckon you into rooms that are simply magical. A Casablanca style sun parlor with walls of windows and a door out to a a private veranda will have you humming “As Time Goes By”. An equally compelling music room/conservatory will sing its praises the moment you see it. The carved wood paneled walls & fireplace set the table in a dining room that is truly royal and made for meals to be savored and shared with family & friends in a setting which evokes a more beauteous age. Leaded glass accent windows add tasteful flair.
