About This Home

Designed by renowned architects Herman & Simons for the Cook Farm Company in 1921, this elegant 3,100 SF, four-bedroom Colonial Revival in Indian Village blends historical architectural details and timeless craftsmanship with modern updates and impeccable taste. A gracious living room features a rare and striking wood burning inglenook fireplace flanked by a built-in bookcase. Original French doors open to a generously sized dining room adorned with beautifully detailed plaster crown molding. The heart of the home, the spacious kitchen offers the kind of timeless details that never go out of style: honed marble countertops and tile; custom-built cabinetry plus preserved butler’s pantry cabinets; a breakfast nook with built-in banquette seating; and original windows with stained glass detailing. The second level features a gorgeous wood-paneled den with a cozy gas fireplace and library built-ins. The large, serene primary suite includes a private full bathroom and double cedar closets, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath—all with preserved original tile. The finished third floor offers a 4th bedroom and full bathroom, plus additional flexible space, which can be used as a family room, exercise space, or office. The home’s solid triple-brick construction has been enhanced with added insulation and storm windows. Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors throughout; upgraded plumbing and electrical systems; A/C units on the 1st and 2nd floors; a newer steam boiler and water heater; a remote-controlled iron driveway gate; and a landscape sprinkler system in the front yard. A spacious 2 car garage with new doors sits at the rear of a secluded, park-like backyard, which offers lots of room to garden, entertain, and play. Close to Mollicone Park and a short walk to both Nichols and Waldorf Schools, the home is a short stroll to West Village to visit local favorites like Marrow, Two Birds, Norm’s Diner, Sister Pie, Red Hook and Eugenie.
