All Pelham, all the time.

Created By Brownstoner

Homebuyers looking for more space at a great value may want to look north where, just one mile over the New York City line, they will find the nearly 4,500-square-foot brick Colonial at 129 Loring Avenue in Pelham, N.Y. The house is a charming mix of traditional and contemporary style owing to an extensive renovation in 2008 that nearly doubled the square footage of the house and added a pleasant bluestone outdoor courtyard.

The first floor has a large living room, den, and formal dining room with herringbone floors. But the heart of the house is a large open-space kitchen/family room with an island and state-of-the-art appliances. The huge family room has a fireplace on one side (one of three in the home) and French doors leading out to a large, level, fenced and landscaped yard. A mudroom, powder room, and laundry room all complete this first story.

The second floor has five bedrooms, each generously sized with its own radiant-heated bathroom and plentiful, custom-fitted closet space. The main bedroom is especially large, with a 16-by-15-foot sleeping area, two walk-in closets, and a chic en suite bath.

The basement is finished, and has a spa area complete with sauna, a gym/recreation space, lots of storage, and a heated three-car garage.

Situated in the Pelham Heights neighborhood, this home is walking distance to the excellent elementary, middle, and high schools for which Pelham is known. It is also closer to midtown Manhattan than are many parts of Brooklyn, with a Metro-North train station just three blocks from the house and a 33-minute ride to Grand Central Station on the New Haven Line. In addition to great
public schools and quick and clean rail service, the one-mile difference over the city line also means no city income tax.
