17 Upland Avenue, White Plains, NY, 10604 | $850,000

Rich in character and thoughtfully updated, this distinctive home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort—set on a property that is truly defined by its impressive, fully usable barn. Inside, the home exudes warmth and authenticity. From the second-floor sleeping porch to the antique claw-foot bathtub, each space tells a story. Original details—including a built-in china cabinet, wide baseboard trim, classic bull’s-eye window and door moldings, and beautifully crafted wood-paneled doors—create a sense of history that’s increasingly hard to find. The kitchen offers both charm and practicality with a radiant heated floor, while a wood/coal-burning fireplace insert anchors the living space with cozy appeal. A flexible layout allows for a variety of living arrangements, ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. Step outside, and the property truly shines. A newly constructed two-level deck expands the living space, complemented by elegant stone steps and a custom handrail. But the centerpiece is the remarkable 1928 barn—a rare and versatile asset. With its loft, nearby chicken pen, and substantial footprint, the barn offers endless possibilities: a workshop, studio, hobby space, storage for equipment or recreational vehicles, or even a creative retreat. Whether you’re an artisan, collector, or simply someone who values space and potential, this barn elevates the property into something exceptional. The grounds are equally captivating, featuring thoughtfully designed gardens filled with unusual and rare plantings that create a serene, ever-changing landscape. Extensive updates reflect careful stewardship over the years, including a kitchen remodel (2015), upgraded 220-amp electrical (2012), heating system and water heater (2016), washer/dryer (2018), new deck (2021), significant barn improvements (2021), chimney restoration with custom caps (2024), and recent interior and exterior enhancements (2026). Additional upgrades include stonework, walkways, bath improvements, and ongoing system maintenance. Ideally located near downtown shopping, dining, and the train station, with convenient access to major routes. Manhattan is under 40 minutes away, offering the perfect balance of accessibility and a peaceful, property-rich lifestyle.
