Right in the heart Rye, NY, this downtown parcel on Fernwood Avenue has been completely transformed into a bright and modern home for a growing family. Hardwood oak floors, lots of natural light and a spacious chef’s kitchen lay the groundwork for refined yet understated luxury living. “This property is fully renovated in Rye for under $2.5 million. That’s rare in this market,” says real estate agent Kori Sassower, principal agent at The Kori Sassower Team of Compass in Rye Brook, NY.
Natural wood floors and fresh white walls greet you in the charming, light-filled entryway. “We designed the home with earth tones and textures, creating an overall look that is modern yet warm,” says Sassower. At the back of the house, a cozy family room with wood-burning fireplace is open to the newly renovated chef’s kitchen where vaulted skylights let lots of natural light in. A spacious island with quartz countertops is designed for the family who loves to cook, with plenty of counter space for prep work and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances like an oversized range, wine refrigerator, microwave drawer and dishwasher. Custom countertops and modern lighting elevate the space. “I love the kitchen,” says Sassower. “The high ceilings, the high-end appliances, the wall of windows and the oversized island make it the aesthetic centerpiece of the home.”
While many older homes in Westchester tend to feel small and closed off, renovations to the home have made this 1929 Tudor feel open and bright. “It’s ideal for a young family seeking a move-in ready home with an easy commute to New York City,” says Sassower. “Plus, you’re in the center of Rye, a true walkable neighborhood.”
Downtown Rye has long been one of Westchester’s most desirable real estate markets. Many families are drawn to its walkable and lively downtown with a variety of restaurants and boutiques for shopping and dining. Also within walking distance to the house are historic Rye Playland, Rye beaches, the children’s museum and the ice skating rink. “This location is fabulous,” adds Sassower.
