Some houses are easy to describe. Others are far more interesting.
Set on a picture-perfect block in the heart of Pelham Manor, 1355 Roosevelt Avenue is a much-loved 4-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath Colonial with 2,826 square feet, wonderful curb appeal, new windows, a gorgeous slate roof, and a layout that is anything but ordinary.
At the center of the home is a beautifully renovated oversized kitchen and dining area designed for real life: morning coffee, weeknight dinners, holiday cooking, homework at the table, and friends lingering long after dessert. Just beyond, the airy living room—with abundant natural light and a wood-burning fireplace—adds warmth, charm, and an easy place to unwind.
And..the first floor offers something rarely found in a classic Westchester home: a private apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, bedroom, full bath with step-in shower, sunny sitting room, and shaded patio. It is ideal for guests, a live-in helper, a private work suite, or simply extra breathing room.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like its own retreat, with a newly renovated bath, dressing room, romantic wood-burning fireplace, and skylit office or nursery. Two additional large bedrooms and a generous hall bath complete the second floor.
The freshly painted paneled basement adds 485 sf of flexible space for a media room, game room, gym, hobby room, or a hangout, along with additional space with laundry, utilities, and storage.
And then there is the yard: big, beautiful, and ready for the kind of life people move to Pelham Manor to have—barbecues, sports, gardening, neighborhood parties, and quiet evenings under the covered porch just off the kitchen. And if you love the outdoors, you can stroll or bike to the waterfront and the East Coast Greenway bike path which is 5 minutes away. And as a Pelham Manor resident, you enjoy exclusive use of the Shore Park on the Long Island Sound with playground, picnic tables, gazebo, playground and walking path, also 5 minutes away. Classic, comfortable, flexible, and full of personality, 1355 Roosevelt Avenue could be your forever home.
