305 Pelhamdale Avenue, Pelham, NY 10803

Steeped in history, this prominent Pelham Heights Shingle Style home has been updated with a modern flair that lends a sophisticated elegance. Set on a ridge, the monumental wrap-around porch looks over the rooftops of Pelham’s prettiest neighborhood and elementary school. Gracious foyer leads to living room with three-quarter Chestnut paneling, sweeping bow window, and pocket doors opening to a family room. Formal dining room adjoins a bright, eat-in kitchen with banquette seating and open, distant views. An impressive staircase featuring mansion-size, stained glass windows leads to the second floor master bedroom with bow window, fireplace, and luxurious en suite bath with separate shower and soaking tub. Three further bedrooms—two with a Jack & Jill bath and one with a wall of windows and French doors to a balcony—plus a hall bathroom. The third floor has three more bedrooms and a full bath plus ample attic storage. A finished, walk-out lower level contains a playroom with outstanding light, a large rec space, storage, and garage. Built in 1905, this was the childhood home of the famous artist, Ethel Kremer Schwabacher, and was also the site where Pelham’s first Boy Scout troop (one of the first in the country) was formed in 1910. With its original windows, doors, hardware, and other details, 305 Pelhamdale ranks as one of the most architecturally and historically significant homes in Pelham. Located on an over-sized lot and off-the-chart walkability with Colonial Elementary School across the street, and just one block from middle and high schools and three blocks to train station and downtown shops and restaurants.
