Just steps from Battery Park and tucked along the grassy median of Hawthorne Avenue, this classic Dutch Colonial is brimming with charm and character. Built in 1925, it still showcases timeless features like the original slate roof, pine floors, crown molding, a decorative brick fireplace, 15-panel glass French doors, and a graceful archway—all balanced with thoughtful updates. A welcoming foyer with hardwood floors opens into an oversized living room filled with natural light. The updated kitchen features a full wall of cabinetry, gas cooking, and a peninsula with bar seating, and it flows seamlessly into the dining room for easy entertaining. A sunny first-floor Florida room with casement windows and a convenient half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous bedrooms, including a truly expansive primary that was once two bedrooms. Hardwood floors continue throughout, and the full bath offers both a garden tub and a walk-in shower. Outside, enjoy a huge, fully fenced backyard with a patio, a large detached garage, and a balcony above the sun room! There’s also a full unfinished basement offering plenty of storage – it’s incredibly functional and could extend to something beyond just additional storage! With its unbeatable location and blend of original details and modern updates, this home is one you’re sure to love!
