Home of the week Sonjya Tidke, Sotheby’s
This just might be the biggest little house in Fieldston
F
rom the street side, 4491 Manhattan College Parkway looks like a diminutive center hall colonial. Indeed, Julius Gregory, one of the Fieldston Historic District’s storied architects, designed it as a typical colonial revival building. But looks can be deceiving, especially when the design tucks hidden dimensions into an extension that includes a garage, a breakfast area and au pair bedroom with en suite bath. The exterior of the house features hard-to-duplicate details like a slate roof, gently arched windows and gabled dormers. Exclusive broker Sanjya Tidke, of Sotheby’s International Realty, points to “beautifully landscaped grounds sur-
round the house with a large driveway, garage and veranda.” The entry foyer leads to a grand living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room and an eat-in country kitchen with a bay window. The kitchens white cabinetry, cobalt blue countertops and quarry tile floor give it a Mediterranean look. All in all, the house has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath along with a study off the master bedroom, a dormered playroom or den, a glass enclosed sunroom off the living room and plenty of walk-in closets. According to Ms. Tidke, the home is offered for $1,495,000 with taxes estimated to be $15,091 per year.
The formal dining room has exposures on two sides and offers lots of room for entertaining.
The eat-in kitchen, top photo, has a Mediterranean flare. Landscaped grounds, above, surround the house. At left, the master bedroom is part of a three room suite.
An angular ceiling and multiple dormers add interest to the upstairs den/playroom.
