120 Lorraine Avenue

Description

Book that plane, hop a train, but don’t refrain…make your way to Sweet Lorraine! Simply move in to this Oakwood Heights Mediterranean that is drenched in period detail and quenched with modern comforts, new systems and sited on a perfectly private lot that sits back from its tranquil one way street. This is a standout home in The City Of Homes! Soaring ceilings, leaded glass accents, & Palladian windows will bring you back to a time when craft was a commitment and the quest for beauty was a passion. Beamed ceilings and custom moldings define refinement while the original hardwoods underfoot echo the richness of millwork, mantle, and mahogany. So, what’s new? Is 2-zone central air on your wish list? How about energy efficient double-glazed windows, a new heating system, new 200 Amp electric service, new natural gas service, new gutters with gutter guards and new downspouts. Water management system and a newer roof will help with a worry-free life. A big and bright living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and opens to the aptly named sunroom which is not just huge, it’s happy! A formal dining room that serves up seriously fun space will make any gathering tasty and tasteful. An eat-n breakfast bar kitchen and main level powder room round out the first floor. Up the gorgeous stairs bring you to a wall of windows and a cover station landing. The en-suite primary holds more than a king. It also has a separate dressing room, three closets, a Juliet balcony and a smartly updated bathroom. Three additional sunny bedrooms plus a linen storage closet with built-ins, and a full hall bath round out the second floor but wait! There’s more! It’s hard to describe the tranquility, the verdant beauty and the peaceful enjoyment this home and property exude. The Japanese Maple and Crepe Myrtle are just some of the magnificent specimen trees you will marvel at. A full house-wide patio porch out front is shrouded in fragrant privacy and and the back yard has a second patio, green space and allows for more al-fresco living! The basement is large, holds a washer and dryer, plenty of storage and has high ceilings that provide potential use in any way you choose. There is no parking on the house side of the one way street which just adds more open vistas and quiet streets. Equally near both (half a mile) Pelham or Mount Vernon Metro North train stations, moments to shops, schools, restaurants and so many amenities. From town to train you can have it all at 120 Lorraine!
