About 53 Jay Street
Offering the perfect marriage of classic design and modern amenities only two blocks from the historic village of Katonah (Town of Bedford) and its Metro-North train station, this charming five bedroom, four and one-half bath 1910 farmhouse awaits on 2.2 landscaped acres at the end of a long, gracious approach. This 3,100 square-foot local landmark has been meticulously restored inside and out, with a reimagined layout featuring high ceilings, original details, hardwood floors, a first-floor bedroom and more. The sun-drenched interior with gracious foyer and original banister/railings features all-new electric, plumbing, and heating systems; high-end chef's kitchen with Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher; duel fuel 48-inch range (propane/electric), microwave; bright spacious dining and living rooms; new bathrooms; laundry room, mud room, and more. Walls installed with spray-foam insulation throughout, the exterior of the home with classic front porch is clad in Hardieplank lap siding, Anderson 400-series thermal windows, and a new roof. All of this with high-efficiency Bosch heat pump 6-zone heating system, on-demand hot water, and fire/burglar/carbon monoxide alarm system, motion sensor security lighting, pre-wired for both exterior camera system and whole-house generator, offering the best of both worlds -- historic charm with comfort, convenience, security, and energy savings. The property has drainage installed and a newer shed built on the stone foundation of a former barn, a possible future location of a garage, if desired. In addition to top-tier medical care and hospitals nearby, the village of Katonah offers a myriad of cultural and recreational opportunities, including the Katonah Museum of Art, renowned Caramoor Center for Music and Art, a multitude of parks/preserves, including nearby 4,700-acre Ward Pound Ridge Reservation for hiking, camping, X-C skiing, nature programs and more. Located in the award-winning Katonah-Lewisboro School District with nearby private school options, this gracious landmark is under one hour from New York City.
