71 Flower Ave Hastings-On-Hudson, NY 10706

The carved limestone coat-of-arms etched with the words "You are always welcome at home" in Latin over a richly-detailed oak front door says it all. Welcome to 71 Flower, a picture-perfect 1925 updated Tudor that exudes charm through its authentic details: steep pitched roof, half-timbering, elaborate chimney, steel windows, and copper downspouts. Set on a corner lot in prestigious Riverview Manor, less than a block from the Old Croton Aqueduct, its curb-appeal is enhanced by mature greenery and a circular drive. Inside, the heart of the home is the extraordinary living room, flooded with light from its multiple windows on three sides. Here, the focus is on a breathtaking wood-burning fireplace with its impressive floor-to-ceiling carved plaster overmantel. That, along with hardwood floors, board-and-beamed ceiling, and multiple French doors, creates a space that you’ll never want to leave. An exterior set of French doors leads to both a back patio and a stone entertainment area at the gently-terraced rear yard. An elegant dining room offers wainscoted walls, wide-plank pegged wood floors, display cabinetry, and a bank of 5 casement windows summoning plenty of southern sun. Renovated with a chef in mind, a large eat-in kitchen features long granite counters, stainless appliances (including 6-burner Wolf range), ample storage, oak floors, and a convenient family dining area with service counter and door to driveway. Upstairs, find three unusually sunny bedrooms, where the gracious primary offers a deep walk-in closet and windows with three exposures - one with seasonal views of the Palisades. Walk out through steel French doors to your own private covered outdoor terrace! A modernized hall bath and ample cedar closet complete this level. On a walk-out lower level (an additional 460 SF), discover built-in desks and cabinetry (perfect for home office), a comfortable family room, storage and laundry rooms, and glass sliders to the lowest backyard stone veranda. Award-winning schools, two vibrant village downtowns, local Zinsser Park, and a 40-minute train to NYC are all icing on the cake. Come visit this wonderful Hastings home to fall under its enchanting spell.
