Showings by Appointment Only - Welcome to 4515 Douglas Avenue, an exquisitely private and serene home, offered for the first time in generations. Situated on one of the largest lots in Riverdale and nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, this secluded home is surrounded by mature plantings and flowering bushes that frame the surrounding lawn and hardscaped bluestone patios. Ample land extending all the way to Palisade Avenue, leaves endless possibilities for expansion and more. This unique property offers a rare opportunity for comfortable, peaceful, and gracious living.
The interior of this home is beautifully designed, with original millwork, casement windows, and hardwood floors throughout. The sprawling first floor features a well-balanced mix of formal and casual spaces, ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The first floor is anchored by artfully hand-carved front and rear wood doors, leading to a grand living room with a wood-burning fireplace and adjoining sunroom. The fully enclosed sunroom is heated, bathed in natural light, and works perfectly as a playroom or media room. A cozy den/library with custom pocket doors and a gas fireplace is also attached to the living room. The large, eat-in kitchen is adjacent to the formal dining room, which has French doors leading to an outside patio. There is also a first-floor powder room and laundry for added convenience.Upstairs, the primary suite boasts an en-suite bath, gas fireplace, and dual walk-in closets. There are three other comfortable bedrooms and two more full baths, one with a claw foot soaking tub and stand-alone glass shower. A large balcony off the bathroom acts like an outdoor living room and is the perfect place to enjoy the sun. The third floor features two additional bedrooms and another large well proportioned full bath. The large, unfinished basement and attics leave many possibilities for additional living space and storage.
This home is loaded with historical charm, yet there are still many modern conveniences and features to make day-to-day life a breeze. Some special features of this home include a flat front entrance, a two-car garage, and an oversized driveway with room for guests. The large eat-in kitchen has a separate entrance to the outside as well as easy access to the basement. There is gas heat throughout the home. Upgrades abound, including a stunning architecturally designed first-floor extension that currently serves as a home office and gym. It features a separate entrance through a wall of glass doors that can fully open to the outside. This is the way to work from home in style!
