New Listing Fieldston Historic District Classic & Spacious 4-Bd. 1920s Mediterranean-Style House on Half an Acre with Front Terrace & Wraparound Patio A home of timeless style, this classic and spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, stucco, Mediterranean Revival-style house was built in 1928 and designed by Fieldston's preeminent architect, Dwight James Baum. It is prominently situated in the heart of Fieldston, overlooking the "circle" at 246th Street, and is graced by a welcoming front terrace, spacious grassy grounds of nearly half an acre and an inviting wraparound back patio, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The center hall is anchored by a striking curved staircase, beautifully adorned by patterned tiles in vibrant colors. The house also enjoys decorative archways, handcrafted wrought-iron detailing inside and out, an abundance of French doors and a Spanish-tile roof - all echoing traditional Mediterranean design details. Standout features include: an entry vestibule; living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a wood-beamed ceiling; a heated sunroom with an ornate tiled floor and center fountain; formal dining room with an adjoining breakfast room and butler's pantry; windowed eat-in kitchen; handsome library/office with custom millwork designed by Kennith Alpert; master bedroom suite with a Juliet balcony, dressing room, walk-in closet and French doors to a roof terrace; master bathroom with a porthole window and separate tub and shower. The 4th bedroom, accessed by a separate staircase, is in its own wing with a full bathroom, and was created by combining what was originally two staff bedrooms. There is an unfinished basement with a main room that could be a gym or a playroom, and there is also a storage room. The house has central air-conditioning. The attached 2-car garage is accessed by a private multicar cobblestone driveway. The property is 0.48 acres on a corner lot in a landmark district. Fieldston, a privately owned community with winding, tree-lined roads, rocky outcroppings, elegant, high-quality homes and even an idyllic pond, covers 140 acres (just over a fifth of a mile square). The neighborhood has round-the-clock private security patrols, and the streets and common areas are maintained by the Fieldston Property Owners' Association. Conveniently located for shops, well-known private schools (Horace Mann, Fieldston and Riverdale Country School), the vast greenery of Van Cortlandt Park and transportation to Manhattan (including express buses and the No. 1 subway train).
