26 Linden Avenue

Description

A gracious corner lot, an expansive wraparound porch and a stately Larchmont Manor home—26 Linden makes a wonderful first impression before you even step inside. The porch offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons or time with family and friends. With six bedrooms, 4.5 baths, beautifully proportioned rooms and abundant natural light throughout, this special home balances the timeless design and craftsmanship of a classic Larchmont Manor home with the comfort and flexibility of today’s lifestyle. A double-height entry foyer immediately introduces the home’s impressive proportions and distinctive architectural details. Just off the foyer, a versatile den/office provides a comfortable retreat for working from home, watching TV or use as a playroom. Restored hardwood floors and handsome millwork carry throughout the home, preserving its timeless appeal. The generously sized family room features a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, while two sets of French doors open to the wraparound porch and stairs leading down to the bluestone patio, making alfresco dining and outdoor relaxation a breeze. The formal dining room is equally suited to intimate dinners and larger celebrations. At the heart of the home is the bright and welcoming kitchen, designed as much for gathering as for cooking. Quartz countertops, radiant-heated floors, an apron-front farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator and abundant cabinetry are complemented by a generous center island with prep sink and barstool seating—a natural spot to pull up a seat. A window-wrapped breakfast area with built-in banquette seating is perfect for everyday meals, while the kitchen opens directly to the family room, creating an easy, connected flow for daily living and entertaining. A large powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, the impressive en suite primary bedroom is filled with natural light and features a large, custom-outfitted walk-in closet and well-appointed bath with freestanding soaking tub, separate walk-in shower and dual sinks. Two additional sunny, well-proportioned bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the second floor. The wide, sun-filled landing overlooking the double-height foyer enhances the home’s open, airy feeling and leads to the third floor. Three additional sunny, generously sized bedrooms and a full bath complete the third floor. The walk-out lower level offers even more versatility, with a full bath, utilities, ample storage and direct access to the patio and yard. A paved driveway with a handsome Belgian block apron leads to the two-car detached garage, with convenient side access into the kitchen. Set just two blocks from Long Island Sound in coveted Larchmont Manor, the home is also close to schools, the Metro-North train station, and Village shops and restaurants. This distinctive home offers an exceptional combination of impressive scale, architectural integrity and a location that makes Manor living so special.
