The classic and original details of the recently renovated Mediterranean revival home in historic Fieldston have practical and efficient green pieces, which include a gas-fueled heating, a Nest third-generation thermostat, and a charging station for electric vehicles. The tall windows, carved stone fireplace, original woodwork, and a pretty pair of stained glass panes are the most dramatic features of the two-story house.
The second floor of the revival home is where the two bedrooms and a second bath are located, including a thoroughly grown-up and cozy master bedroom that lies beneath vaulted ceilings and a skylight.
At the back of the house, there's ample space for gardening as there's a big shed to stash tools in, and includes a dining space, which is also great for lounging, as reported by 6sqft news.
Some pleasant surprises in this home are several well-known and highly-regarded private schools, Van Cortlandt Park, Riverdale Park, and the gorgeous public gardens of Wave Hill. The one subway line will also bring you to the Upper West Side of Manhattan in minutes.
According to the Curbed report, the Fieldston neighborhood is a place where you can find plenty of gorgeous turn-of-the-century homes, and of course, the Mediterranean Revival gem at 4673 Delafield Avenue. This revival home is part of the Fieldstone Historic District, built in 1901 by architect Dwight James Baum. The architect designed lovely historic homes in the area.
According to the district's Landmarks Preservation Commission, this particular house has great features of classic and original details, including leaded-glass lights, columns, and "historic copper gutters and drainpipes."
The house also has fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and a built-out lower level that "could serve as a mother-in-law apartment," according to the listing. But the house has some modern updates, for example, the kitchen is designed to look like a retro '50s diner.
The asking price of this Mediterranean revival home in the historic Fieldston district is $1.95 million.
