Rich in character and timeless charm, this impressive 3,183 sq ft, five bedroom 1918 French Colonial combines magnificent curb appeal, beautiful original details, and graciously proportioned rooms in a coveted, convenient neighborhood just over a mile from Pelham Village, its shops, restaurants, and train. High ceilings, a grand foyer, and an inviting sunroom set the tone for a home that exudes warmth and enduring appeal. The stately first floor features an elegant living room with a wood-burning fireplace and window seat, an extraordinary sunroom framed by wall-to-wall windows, and a large formal dining room crowned by a contemporary chandelier. A butler’s pantry with extensive built-ins adds both character and functionality, while the updated kitchen overlooks the lush, level backyard, creating a lovely connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, five bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, with multiple windows and deep closets throughout; the primary bedroom features an ensuite bath and dual closets. An incredible walk-out basement adds 1,145 sq ft of bonus space, including a recreation room, an additional guest room, a full bath, and a laundry room. Thoughtful improvements include a new roof (2024), new gutters (2024), a new front door, Marvin-clad windows throughout the first floor, a new terrace door, replacement windows throughout the second floor, new attic and stairway windows, a new stainless steel refrigerator, (2026), the entire exterior freshly painted (2025), and replacement of all galvanized pipes with copper (2005). Ideally located in a quiet, sought-after neighborhood near the Daniel Webster Magnet School, New Rochelle High School, Glenwood Lake, Nature Study Woods, parks, and trails, the home is also just over a mile from both the Pelham and New Rochelle train stations, offering a wonderful blend of classic architectural character, versatile living space, and everyday convenience.
Interlaken, located between Lake Isle Country Club and Ward Acres Park, is a residential and lakeside New Rochelle neighborhood with winding streets and a leafy, low-rise feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Isle entrance on Eastchester Road, where golf-course greens, clubhouse comings-and-goings, and a steady rhythm of local traffic set the tone. Housing reads as mid-century colonials and tidy capes with deep setbacks and mature trees. Ward Acres Park frames the area with wooded trails and open lawns. Lake Isle Country Club anchors recreation with pools, tennis, and an 18-hole course. A short drive north, the New Rochelle Public Library and the New Rochelle Council on the Arts add a cultural counterpoint downtown.
