The basement is perfect for playroom, another work from home space, yoga, etc. The owners have preserved all of the lovely old details of the house while modernizing it for a contemporary lifestyle. The back patio, artists gazebo, and expansive front porch offer so many places to gather in this very happy home. The house sits up and back off MacArthur so it feels very private, yet has all the conveniences of the shops, restaurants, schools, the Palisades public library are steps away. The Sunday farmers market, the canal toe path and Battery Park sledding hill are all a short walk away. The house has a very happy vibe.
