Remarks
Offered for the first time in over 40 years, welcome to 197 Shonnard Terrace. This distinguished circa-1905 estate home in Yonkers' desirable Woodstock Manor neighborhood is set amid over 30,000 sq ft of grounds and enjoys beautiful views of the Hudson River and the Palisades. With only two owners in its history, this substantial home holds an exceptional collection of original architectural details, including stained-glass windows, original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, hand-carved fireplace mantels and nine fireplaces. Generously proportioned rooms and gracious formal living and dining spaces reflect the scale and craftsmanship of this remarkable residence. A finished walkout lower level opens directly to a patio and provides approximately 1,071 sq ft of additional space, not included in the reported above-grade square footage. Substantive updates include renovated bathrooms, a new boiler (2024) and a newer roof (2021). A separate, heated, two-level carriage house, also with Hudson River views, accommodates multiple vehicles and offers an estimated 900-plus sq ft of additional space, not included in the residence's reported square footage. Its generous proportions present possibilities for an artist's studio, writer's retreat, private office or creative workspace. For those who appreciate historic architecture, generous living spaces and distinctive properties, 197 Shonnard Terrace presents a rare opportunity to own and thoughtfully update a home of enduring character.
