A rare opportunity to secure a craftsman-built colonial-style home, with the latest environmental features, that maximizes comfort, for sustainable, energy-efficient family living!rnThis environmentally certified LEED-Silver home is on a quiet street, within walking distance of the excellent Edgemont schools, and has a large, near-private yard with vegetable garden and wraparound porch. The spacious, light-filled home was built with outstanding eco-features and handpicked renewable materials to keep your family comfortable at lower cost in all seasons, and through power outages.rnThe living space was designed for ‘flow’ to maximize areas for your whole family to relax, work, play and entertain, including an office, kitchen office, downstairs parent/nanny suite with private bathroom, giant bonus room to use as a yoga / exercise room and huge basement ready to be finished as your own home theater, wine cellar or playroom (original plans approved for a pool, too!)rnGorgeous, high-ceiling family room wired for home-theatre, with hi-efficiency wood fireplace; central dining-room for entertaining (and kids homework sessions!); Chef-ready kitchen with lots of storage; large central island for breakfast / impromptu gatherings. Interior décor and colors create warm and distinct environments, including a royal blue Library / music room, cork-floor office and magnetic whiteboard walls in kids rooms.rnQuiet, efficient, low maintenance Geothermal heating/cooling, radiant first floor (and basement!), and Solar Panels to reduce energy costs, Tesla PowerWall2 backup for outages and garage parking for 4 cars. Short walk to Greenville elementary school, 35mins to NYC on MTA. Jitney bus to Scarsdale train station.rn.rnWHAT I LOVE ABOUT 230 GLENDALE:rnBeautiful ‘flow’ with distinct, cosy, spaces for a family to play, relax and work, filled with natural light and renewable materials all around you. The radiant bamboo first floor is so wonderful - always feeling perfect in socks/bare feet in every season, even when bitterly cold outside! HEPA Grade electrostatic central air filtration / humidification great for allergies and dry winters, Energy Recovery Ventilators refresh stale air and minimize energy loss. Timer driven electrical underfloor heat in upstairs bathrooms keep you cosy without wasting energy, and roof-mounted light tubes direct natural light into central spaces - fantastic in winter! Original home plans were approved with a pool, so reapplying is likely to be easier.rnEnvironmental features are quiet, and low maintenance, so no noisy external AC units! The neighborhood is secluded, so you can relax and watch nature on the front covered patio, rear upstairs balcony or in the huge, tree-lined, natural back yard. The home is fully wired, so everyone has a direct gigabit internet connection in their room, with speakers in ceilings / walls; there will be arguments over who owns the huge bonus room, and the high ceiling, unfinished basement has a radiant floor that’s ready for your activities. 3 car garage with 4-post car lift for storage of less used vehiclesNeighborhood Description
