About 40 Elm Lane
There is something about a French Provincial house that is so appealing and this new village listing with its Flemish Brick exterior and thick slate roof is a show stopper.
With a talented architect and interior designer, the current owners embarked on a complete, well curated renovation which has created a stunning, beautifully functioning home.
The charming foyer introduces vibrant principal rooms brimming with light through numerous expansive windows and doors…a step-down living room with beamed ceiling and period fireplace opens to an inviting bluestone terrace and a cozy T.V. room with custom cabinetry.With its subtle silk wall covering, the dining room is a captivating jewel box with a relaxed yet elegant ambiance.
The white and blue St.Charles kitchen is fabulous…beautifully designed and equipped it will surely please the most demanding cook….glass counter tops,Thermidor dual-fuel gas 6 burner stove and oven, built in Miele floor-to-ceiling refrigerator, two Sub Zero freezer drawers with ice maker, under counter microwave, Gaggenau speed oven, 36 bottle wine fridge and remote control sun shades. An ample dining area with built-in window seat and storage completes the picture.In addition, there is a delightful bedroom and bath off the kitchen for guests or a home office. A convenient rear door off the kitchen leads to a beautifully designed and custom crafted mahogany deck… a great spot for grilling as well as access to the brick driveway and rear property.
Steps from the kitchen is a wonderful garden level family room that gets a lot of use with a big t.v. and super comfortable lounging area, bookshelves, etc. On this level you will also find a powder room, double laundry (2LG washers and dryers), Scotsman ice maker and a Maytag refrigerator/freezer also with ice maker.
A winding staircase leads to four lovely bedrooms all with custom built-ins and two baths which include a converted home office (with coffee nook and fridge),a sublime master suite with vaulted ceiling and a luxurious ensuite marble bath with double sinks.
Surrounded by lush, mature plantings, the rear property features something for everyone….a bluestone terrace for entertaining family or larger gatherings, lawn for a swing set or playhouse and a fabulous level space for basketball and riding tricycles…
The current owners have thought of everything resulting in a very livable home in superb condition……the entire house has new (2016) Marvin custom windows with retractable screens, a heated brick driveway and front walk, a natural gas fed generator, on-demand hot water, buried utility lines, an irrigation system, a heated two car garage with utility sink and cabinetry and a drainage system for all downspouts and drains plus,… CAT-5 ethernet wiring and outlets throughout the house.
With its quiet tree lined neighborhood, outstanding school system, 29 min.commute to Grand Central and superb quality of life, this wonderful house, with its enduring style, is just another reason to fall in love with Bronxville.
