30 Southlawn Avenue 30 Southlawn will take your breath away! Set in the heart of Dobbs Ferry's Riverview Manor, only a block from the scenic Aqueduct Trail, this magnificent renovated home is unique in its striking and spacious interior, showcasing a gorgeous seasonal Hudson panorama, as well as its uncommonly large and versatile level back yard. Built in 1912, this architect-designed Spanish style gem has a rich history. The full width of the main level is dramatically revealed as you enter, outstanding for its feeling of vastness, while its well-maintained period details bestow an unusual sense of grandeur. A spectacular double-height living room is distinguished by a wood-burning fireplace with carved limestone mantel, rich hardwood craftmanship on the walls and ceiling, and a special upper balcony with ornamental balusters that overlooks it all. Tall windows on the western wall celebrate the view and the river's iridescent sunsets. Flow directly into a more intimate family room with built-in bookshelves and triangular-arched window cleverly integrated into the wall's molding pattern. A gracious dining room with vintage wood built-ins opens onto a year-round sunporch with terracotta floor and French door access to the backyard. Fully modernized, a deluxe eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream: high-end Jenn-Air stainless appliances, 3-seat peninsula, Caesarstone counters, farmhouse sink, tons of storage, and walk-thru pantry. A second prep sink and second dishwasher sit below a trio of original stained-glass windows, with direct door access to a fabulous yard that includes a bluestone patio and barbecue area, sprawling level lawn and a private raised dining terrace. Up sunlit stairs, find 4 distinct bedrooms, including one with access to the living room balcony - perfect for curling up with a book - and a primary featuring large leaded glass casement windows with an amazing view down into the stunning living room. Two renovated hall baths, home office and cedar closet complete the level. In the home's lower level (an additional estimated 1350 sf) discover a plush billiard room featuring the home's 2nd wood-burning fireplace with limestone surround. (Don't miss the closet where vestiges of an old speakeasy can be found.) This distinctive home combines beauty, comfort, and close proximity to the Old Croton Aqueduct, award-winning schools (with celebrated IB program), MetroNorth train, and 2 vibrant historic villages.
