Set on a gentle rise with elevated views, this distinguished 4-bedroom, 4. 5-bath stone and stucco Tudor combines classic storybook character with a balanced, livable layout suited to modern comfort in desirable Rouken Glen. Designed and built in 1928 by noted Larchmont architect Charles W. Moody, the residence reflects the hallmarks of his work: thoughtful siting, strong architectural lines, and a natural connection to the surrounding landscape. Leaded casement windows draw abundant natural light into the principal rooms, while prominent chimneys, arched openings, and enduring masonry highlight the home’s architectural scale and period detailing. From a slate pathway, the front terrace opens to a foyer with a central staircase, establishing classic Tudor proportions. The formal rooms unfold with a dining room, detailed with crown moldings, connecting to a delightful sitting nook finished in Moroccan tile with a French door leading to expansive rear bluestone patio. The stunning living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a dramatic wall of windows showcasing picturesque treetop views. The expansive terrace seamlessly extends the living space, an ideal setting for entertaining while enjoying sweeping views of the neighborhood. A large, light-filled private home office sits discreetly off the main living area, looking out through wrap-around arched windows and French doors opening to a secluded terrace. The updated chef's kitchen features clean-lined shaker cabinetry, quartz surfaces, a generous island, and a bright casual dining area opening directly to the outdoors through sliding doors. There is a large adjoining, wood-paneled family room, complete with built-in cabinetry, wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, and a charming window seat. A powder room and coat closets complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a windowed sitting alcove, walk-in closet, and spacious spa bath with marble surround jetted tub, glass enclosed marble shower, double sink vanity, and built-in linen closet. Three (3) additional generously sized bedrooms and two full hall baths, as well as a light-filled secondary office, studio, or reading area complete this level. The finished lower level (measured at an additional 954sf) adds recreation space, a full bath, laundry, storage, mudroom area and direct access to the attached 1 car+ garage. Refinished hardwood floors, radiant flooring, detailed moldings and paneling, custom radiator covers, zoned cooling and heating, security system, sprinkler system, and professional landscaping add to the benefits of this property. Located near the Leatherstocking Nature Trail and within walking distance to Murray Avenue Elementary School, with convenient access to Larchmont Village, Metro North, parks, beach, and local clubs - this home offers beautiful Larchmont living just a short ride to New York City.
