Ang inukit na batong apog na coat-of-arms na may nakasulat na "Laging ikaw ay welcome sa bahay" sa Latin sa ibabaw ng masaganang detalye ng pintuan ng oak ay nagsasabi ng lahat. Maligayang pagdating sa 71 Flower, isang larawan-perpektong Tudor na na-update mula 1925 na nag-aalok ng alindog sa pamamagitan ng mga tunay na detalye nito: matarik na bubong, kalahating kahoy, masalimuot na usok, mga bintanang bakal, at mga copper downspouts. Nakaupo sa isang sulok na lote sa prestihiyosong Riverview Manor, wala pang isang bloke mula sa Old Croton Aqueduct, ang kaakit-akit na anyo nito ay pinabuti ng mga mature na halamang berde at isang paikot na daan. Sa loob, ang puso ng bahay ay ang pambihirang sala, na puno ng liwanag mula sa maraming bintana sa tatlong panig. Dito, ang pokus ay nasa isang nakakamanghang fireplace na nagpapausok ng kahoy na may kahanga-hangang inukit na plaster na overmantel mula sahig hanggang kisame. Kasama ang hardwood na sahig, board-and-beamed na kisame, at maraming French doors, bumubuo ito ng espasyo na ayaw mong iwanan. Isang panlabas na set ng French doors ang nagdadala sa parehong likod na patio at isang lugar ng entertainment na may bato sa mahinang-naka-terasang likod na bakuran. Isang eleganteng dining room ang nag-aalok ng mga pader na may wainscot, malawak na kahoy na sahig na may pegs, display cabinetry, at isang bangko ng 5 bintanang may salamin na nag-aanyaya ng maraming sikat ng araw mula sa timog. Na-renovate na may isang chef sa isip, ang malaking kitchen na may dining-in ay nagtatampok ng mahabang granite counter, stainless appliances (kabilang ang 6-burner na Wolf range), sapat na imbakan, hardwood na sahig, at isang maginhawang dining area ng pamilya na may service counter at pinto patungo sa driveway. Sa itaas, makikita ang tatlong hindi karaniwang maaraw na silid-tulugan, kung saan ang maginhawang pangunahing silid ay nag-aalok ng malalim na walk-in closet at mga bintana na may tatlong exposure - isa na may Seasonal views ng Palisades. Lumabas sa pamamagitan ng mga steel French doors patungo sa iyong sariling pribadong tinakpang panlabas na terrace! Isang modernisadong hall bath at sapat na cedar closet ang kumukumpleto sa antas na ito. Sa isang walk-out lower level (karagdagang 460 SF), tuklasin ang built-in na desks at cabinetry (perpekto para sa home office), isang komportableng family room, storage at laundry rooms, at mga salamin na sliding doors patungo sa pinakamababang backyard na stone veranda. Ang mga award-winning na paaralan, dalawang masiglang downtown ng nayon, lokal na Zinsser Park, at isang 40-minute na tren papuntang NYC ay lahat ng pampalasa sa cake. Halika bisitahin ang kamangha-manghang tahanan sa Hastings upang mahulog sa ilalim ng kanyang nakaka-engganyong baluktot.

The carved limestone coat-of-arms etched with the words "You are always welcome at home" in Latin over a richly-detailed oak front door says it all. Welcome to 71 Flower, a picture-perfect 1925 updated Tudor that exudes charm through its authentic details: steep pitched roof, half-timbering, elaborate chimney, steel windows, and copper downspouts. Set on a corner lot in prestigious Riverview Manor, less than a block from the Old Croton Aqueduct, its curb-appeal is enhanced by mature greenery and a circular drive. Inside, the heart of the home is the extraordinary living room, flooded with light from its multiple windows on three sides. Here, the focus is on a breathtaking wood-burning fireplace with its impressive floor-to-ceiling carved plaster overmantel. That, along with hardwood floors, board-and-beamed ceiling, and multiple French doors, creates a space that you’ll never want to leave. An exterior set of French doors leads to both a back patio and a stone entertainment area at the gently-terraced rear yard. An elegant dining room offers wainscoted walls, wide-plank pegged wood floors, display cabinetry, and a bank of 5 casement windows summoning plenty of southern sun. Renovated with a chef in mind, a large eat-in kitchen features long granite counters, stainless appliances (including 6-burner Wolf range), ample storage, oak floors, and a convenient family dining area with service counter and door to driveway. Upstairs, find three unusually sunny bedrooms, where the gracious primary offers a deep walk-in closet and windows with three exposures - one with seasonal views of the Palisades. Walk out through steel French doors to your own private covered outdoor terrace! A modernized hall bath and ample cedar closet complete this level. On a walk-out lower level (an additional 460 SF), discover built-in desks and cabinetry (perfect for home office), a comfortable family room, storage and laundry rooms, and glass sliders to the lowest backyard stone veranda. Award-winning schools, two vibrant village downtowns, local Zinsser Park, and a 40-minute train to NYC are all icing on the cake. Come visit this wonderful Hastings home to fall under its enchanting spell.
