Home of the week
With spacious rooms and a big backyard, this old house has plenty of charm
O
ld is a good thing when it comes to 5264 Independence Ave. It only adds to the charm of this renovator’s dream, a Mediterranean-style home with seven bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The 1910 stucco sits on a three-quarter-acre estate with a spacious front and backyard. The backyard features a separate two-car garage with a one bedroom apartment for guests. The house features a wide center hall, a living room with a marble fireplace and a kitchen with a breakfast room and
a butler’s pantry. The large living room leads to an expansive sun room. The master bedroom has a dressing room and private terrace and the home features a large walk-up attic and a basement. Within walking distance of Wave Hill, Metro-North trains and express buses to Manhattan, the house has a country-like setting but offers all the convenience of city living. According to exclusive broker Trebach Realty, Inc., the home is offered for $2,900,000 with taxes of $17,989 a year.
