Beautiful historic gardener’s cottage from the original Henry Sargent Wodenethe Estate, dating back to 1863. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, this one-of-a-kind home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern upgrades. A formal entry welcomes you into a stunning sunroom (added in 1920), featuring vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that open to a covered bluestone patio—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The cozy living room showcases original exposed wood ceilings and a classic brick wood-burning fireplace. The thoughtfully updated galley kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, quartz countertops, and a spacious walk-in pantry. A newly added dining room (2023), designed to complement the home’s historic charm, features lots of windows and a glass door leading directly to the patio—ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The first-floor primary suite offers high ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private bath. Upstairs, you’ll find an additional bedroom and full bathroom. Currently this space is open to below, but could easily be closed off with a door and wall. The 2023 addition and renovation included a full overhaul of the home while preserving its original character: all-new kitchen and baths, electrical, central air, new windows throughout, roof, flooring, spray foam insulation and more. Set on a beautiful, level property, the grounds feel like a private retreat with bluestone paths, brick walls, and lush perennial gardens. A striking sculptural tree anchors the front yard—possibly to have been planted by Henry Sargent himself, known for his horticultural and landscape design legacy. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, generator, landscape lighting and a prime location within walking distance to Main Street and Metro-North.
