Remarks
Welcome to one of the most distinguished luxury homes for sale in Pelham Manor. This 5,658 square foot brick estate offers 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (3 full baths and 3 half baths) and an additional 2,000 square feet of finished lower-level living space, all located on a flat near half-acre corner lot just minutes from New York City. This home was built in 1911, and the original copper cupolas, the plasterwork, and the woodwork have been impeccably restored - often by hand. At the same time, this classic home has been updated with a fully-owned (not leased) 10kW solar array, and a high-efficiency, Energy-Star rated natural gas boiler. The eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry were completely remodeled in January 2026, and feature a wine refrigerator and ample storage space. The large, dry finished basement includes a separate entrance and has been waterproofed and the crawl space has been fully encapsulated by Connecticut Basement Systems. The home also features 2-zone central air conditioning. This classic colonial boasts huge flowing rooms, soaring ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, a grand staircase and a large flat backyard. When you enter the grand foyer through the front Dutch door, you are greeted with beautifully restored barrel-vaulted ceilings that have been completely refinished and their gold leaf arches restored. The dramatic sunken double living room features 10-foot-high ceilings and a vintage fireplace with Ionic pilaster columns. The dining room features fully restored mahogany paneling and maple wood flooring. Both the living room and dining room include hand-restored dentil, egg-and-leaf and bead-and-reel moldings throughout, and French doors that seamlessly flow into the flat backyard. The first floor also features two powder rooms, a sun room with Doric columns and fireplace. The Den / Au-Pair / In-Law Suite with private entrance offers exceptional flexibility, ideal for multi-generational living, a live-in caregiver, or a private executive workspace. On the second floor there are two large bedrooms which share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a library/bedroom at the top of the grand staircase, an office/den, an additional bedroom, and a large dedicated laundry room. The stunning expansive primary bedroom suite features a large dressing room, 4 built-in closets and a large private bath with two vanities, a jetted tub and a shower stall with jetted body sprays. The house has been updated with custom storm windows and doors that were designed to preserve the in-swing French casement windows and French doors, in addition to providing substantial sound and temperature insulation. There is a full walk-up attic running the entire length of the house. The detached two car brick garage, complete with a full second level, presents extraordinary potential — perfect for conversion to guest quarters, an au pair residence, private office, studio, or wellness retreat. Also desirable, the home is a quick walk to the highly-regarded and sought after Prospect Hill Elementary School. Prospect Hill’s spacious grounds include two baseball fields, a basketball court and large playgrounds. Residents of Pelham Manor can also use the 7-acre waterfront Shore Park all year round.
