A chance to get away, but still stay pretty close

Set on a quiet tree-lined street, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom stucco Georgian Colonial-style house was built in 1920. It offers an inviting patio and fenced-in grassy yard that’s spacious and flat — perfect for entertaining, or simply for you and your family to enjoy.

Located at 81 Leighton Ave., in Yonkers, the standout features of this home include a living room with fireplace, a formal dining room, heated sunroom, renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a door to the side patio and fenced grassy yard.

There’s also a main-floor powder room, a master bedroom suite with private terrace, a renovated master bathroom and hallway bathroom, finished two-room attic, and a finished basement with den and laundry.

If that weren’t enough, think about how green that lawn will be with an in-ground sprinkler system. And, of course, there’s a private driveway with an attached single-car garage, all on a lot that’s a little over a tenth of an acre.

This home might be just outside New York City, but it’s still close to everything like shops, transportation and schools — including SAR High School, and the College of Mount Saint Vincent.

Make this home yours for $849,000.
