Come live the Larchmont dream in the quintessential Manor Victorian! This picturesque c.1898 cedar-shingle Queen Anne-Style house, prominently situated at the corner of Beach and Woodbine Avenues, is just a short walk to Manor Park and Long Island Sound, as well as to shops and restaurants. With high ceilings and many spacious rooms, the interior offers flexibility as well as rich architectural detail. The exterior offers a huge wraparound porch, a back deck, and a second-floor screened porch. Designed by British architect George Palliser, whose firm was one of the most influential of the 19th century, this house retains an impressive number of original features, both inside and out. All the rooms on the first and second floor boast an array of fine parquet flooring, each with a different border. The gracious entrance hall includes a fireplace, beamed ceiling, and a grand stairwell. Entertain in style in the adjacent dining room, with its magnificent paneling, beamed ceiling, stained glass window, and brick and terra cotta fireplace with integrated mirror. This room is truly a show-stopper! The inviting living room and den are linked by a pointed "Moorish" arch, offering flexible space and two beautiful period fireplaces. Tucked under the stairs is a jewel box of powder room, and just beyond it is a sunroom with decoratively painted lattice walls and an Arts & Crafts period tile floor, all enclosed within beautiful lozenge-shaped leaded glass panes. The large, light-filled kitchen has a radiant-heated floor and a bay-windowed eating area with built-in seat overlooking the back deck. On the second floor, four bedrooms and a hall bath are arranged around the open stairwell. The primary bedroom has a gorgeous floral-carved stone fireplace, an ensuite bathroom, a private screened porch, and a generous walk-in closet. The bedroom/library features a grand fireplace, two walls of built-in bookshelves, and a stained glass window. There are two additional bedrooms, including one located in the house's turret. The hall bath is clad in original tile on both the walls and ceiling. The third floor is a delightful surprise, with high ceilings and spacious, sunny rooms. These are airy, flexible spaces that can be used in a myriad of ways. Bring your imagination! Seventy-one Beach Avenue is waiting to be your new home!
