Seasoned and stately brick Colonial is richly endowed with the historical ambiance and charm of a bygone era. This 4 bedroom/3 bath home, located in Riverdale's Northern Estate area, was built in 1930 by a former Yale professor who served as President Woodrow Wilson's interpreter during his presidency. It is now being offered for sale for the first time and offers the opportunity to restore and bring new life to this special beauty. A much loved domain of many generations of this family, the living space is quite ample and includes a staircase leading to a finished third floor attic with potential to create additional bedrooms, and a partially finished basement. Solid wood floors and window frames enhance the beauty and architectural style of this historic pre-war home. First floor center hallway leads to a front parlor with wood burning fireplace, great room, formal dining room and and large work kitchen. Spacious and lovely terraced back yard reminiscent of garden parties and lazy afternoons. Three car garage with additional black top driveway for several more cars. Throughout several generations this home has been in use as a single family and on occasion as a "mother/daughter". It is zoned as a legal two family.
