3 Crown St, Philipstown, NY 10516

This stately brick and slate-roofed home,built by brothers returning from the Civil War, nestles next to the protected Nelsonville Woods, a five-minute walk from the school and 20 minutes to Metro-North. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, 3 Crown Street features nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, with magical afternoon light pouring through the original glass of near floor-to-ceiling front windows. All other windows are Andersen 400 series installed in 2021.On the first floor is a large living room, dining room, kitchen, den and half bath. The ceiling height adds to the grand scale of the rooms. Four bedrooms and two full baths are on the second level.Wide board knotty pine floors on both levels add to the timeless feel of the house. There is a one-car attached garage and adjacent off-street parking. Rare is a corner-lot village home that has a large fenced-in yard offering privacy. To describe this house, property and location as a gem is an understatement.
