A first-time opportunity to own this custom built Mid-Century Modern home in the original hilly area of Sleepy Hollow Manor. Mid-Century modern homes emphasize bringing the beauty of the outdoors in. Feel the privacy and serenity from the moment you set foot on this property as nature abounds throughout. Enter into the foyer and begin noticing the clean lines and details of the house: a Japanese shoji screen, the special oriental knob plates on the coat closet doors and the wattled walnut paneling. Take note of this main-level living as you step forward: to the right is the eating area, kitchen, mud/laundry room with access to the 2-car garage and to the left is the hallway to the 3 main-level bedrooms and 2 full baths. Straight ahead are the rails to the open stairway (making the walkout basement a inviting part of the home) and behind the paneled wall is the living room with a woodburning fireplace. The cathedral ceiling adds to the airy feel as you look out of the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the extra lot (.858 acre) that is included with the house, or step onto the balcony to take it all in. Off of the dining room is the large sliding glass door leading to a nice size screened in porch. Just outside is the patio surrounded by trees and a path leading up the hill through the gardens. Back to the mentioned staircase in the foyer... Not only does the downstairs have great open area with a woodburning fireplace and two bonus bedrooms, but the large windows again allow the beauty of nature in, this time looking into the Japanese garden. This was a very special home for 60 years to the owner, the home is being conveyed "AS IS", with a home warranty included. Will it be the Classic Mid-Century Modern home or the surrounding beautiful gardens that is your favorite?
