157 Alta Avenue - A Historic Masterpiece in Park Hill Welcome to a Masterpiece which is ever changing and is yours behind the door to 157 Alta Avenue, a magnificent brick and slate Colonial nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in Historic Park Hill neighborhood. Designed in 1915 by acclaimed architect Dwight Baum, this remarkable home blends timeless elegance with modern convenience, offering the rare combination of architectural beauty, privacy, and proximity to New York City. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by light-filled rooms, inlaid oak floors, and exquisite crown and picture frame moldings. Graceful French doors and curved cove ceilings hint at the craftsmanship that defines this home. The grand staircase, highlighted by a Palladian window and crowned by a historic wind dial, is just one of many preserved original details. Set on over one-third of an acre, the property offers a serene and private oasis framed by mature oak trees, Japanese maple, dogwood, magnolia, and a vibrant array of flowers including roses, wisteria, clematis, and hydrangeas. A level backyard and the potential to subdivide into a buildable lot (65" x 90'), add further value and opportunity. Enjoy west facing views of the Hudson River and Palisades from the sun-drenched solarium and rooftop terrace. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features pecan cabinetry, Silas stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast alcove with sweeping 180-degree garden views. The home offers flexible living with 4-5 bedrooms and 5 and a half bathrooms including two private suites ideal for guests, an au pair, or a home office. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, with its fireplace and its own oversize roof terrace for those beautiful summers to sit and have a glass of wine over a magnificent sunset on the terrace with Hudson River and Palisade views. The primary bedroom also offers a sitting/dressing room, walk-in closets, and a sparkling new bathroom. 157 Alta Avenue is more than a home-it's a legacy property. With it's blend of architectural significance, refined updates, and lush surroundings, it offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of Westchester's most charming neighborhoods. Additional highlights include: Completely restored plaster walls and refinished floors Central air conditioning Two-car attached garage Outdoor terrace perfect for alfresco dining Membership nearby at the Park Hill Swim, Racquet & Social Club Reduced property tax assessment for increased affordability Just 2 miles to renowned Riding Stable in Van Courtlandt Park and Fieldston Easy 25-minute commute to Manhattan via Metro North
