Designed by noted female architect Verna Cook Salomonsky and built in 1934, 44 Taunton Road has been lovingly expanded and updated through the years. This meticulously maintained Crane-Berkley gem offers timeless elegance and modern comfort. With no homes opposite, it overlooks a private protected neighborhood park and pond with year-round… Read More views undisturbed by utility poles. 44 Taunton offers charm, character, and excellent craftsmanship with the best of the original details preserved to the present. The first level welcomes you with a warm foyer leading to a lovely study with pond views through a bay window. The study features original wide-planked, pegged maple flooring, built-in bookshelves, and a wood-burning fireplace in pristine condition. The formal living room, with a second wood-burning fireplace and large French doors overlooking the park and pond, is perfect for elegant entertaining. French doors lead to an oversized family room with a third wood-burning fireplace, high tray ceiling and large skylight, beautiful, detailed moldings, extensive built-in mahogany bookshelves and cabinetry, wet bar and desk, and ample space to gather with friends and family. The formal dining room, which preserves more of the home’s original details, is ideal for family celebrations and holidays and leads to the beautiful modern kitchen. It boasts gorgeous custom cabinetry, an oversized granite island seating six comfortably, a six-burner Wolf gas cooktop, 48” Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, Wolf double convection wall ovens and warming drawer, built-in ice maker, two Miele dishwashers, built-in microwave, a bay window with a farm sink overlooking the backyard, a desk area with bookshelves, lighted glass display cabinets, and pantry cabinets. A French door from the kitchen opens to the bluestone patio and plumbed grill, perfect for outdoor dining in the private, lush backyard. From the patio, ascend the spiral staircase leading to the large roof deck. Adjoining the kitchen is a versatile room, originally designed as a bedroom with ensuite bath, now a cozy family room with a stunning Palladian window. A powder room and mudroom with cubbies complete the first level. A skylight illuminates the stairs to the spacious second level, featuring the primary suite with a large bedroom, French doors to the roof deck, five closets, and an ensuite full bath with an oversized shower and double vanity. Two spacious bedrooms have ensuite baths, and two additional bedrooms with high ceilings and large Palladian windows share a hall bath, totaling five bedrooms and four full baths on this level. The lower level includes a recreation room with a beautiful original fourth wood-burning fireplace, porcelain wood-grain tile flooring, and lighted built-in display cabinetry. There's also a crafts area with storage, a wine cellar (1100 bottles)/storage room, a large, updated laundry room with stainless sink, and a 2-car garage with storage areas. 44 Taunton Road was the model home when the sought-after Crane-Berkley neighborhood was established. Crane-Berkley features six and one-half acres of private parkland and two ponds. Winding streets and the lack of through-roads discourage excess traffic. Crane-Berkley is walking distance to Scarsdale shops, restaurants, parks, playgrounds and the train station with a 32-minute express to Grand Central Station. The Crane-Berkley neighborhood association plans many family events, including an annual campout/movie night, a fall social, a spring picnic, and ice cream truck summer Sunday. Crane-Berkley features entirely underground utilities, creating undisturbed views of the park and ponds. 44 Taunton is in the highly acclaimed Scarsdale School District, within walking distance of Edgewood Elementary School and Scarsdale High School, as well as four nursery schools. Don't miss this opportunity to make this magnificent home your own and enjoy an A+ location and all that Scarsdale has to offer! Read Less
