290 Overlook Road

The 4,400 square feet red brick colonial home (including built-out basement) is perched on corner of Overlook Road and Silver Birch,  one of the most prestigious locations in Wykagyl Park.  The front drive is circular with a side driveway leading down to the back yard. 

The breathtaking backyard property is completely surrounded by fully grown specimen trees. The spacious, level ground is perfect for playing football or baseball. In addition, the two-level slate patio area is decorated with a variety of colorful, flowering plants that truly bring the backyard to life in the springtime. With a built-out Lynxx grill, the patio also becomes an ideal space to host lively summer barbeques.

The expansive main living room is centered by a stately fireplace that is also accessible from the study through brickwork, and also connects to a cozy den area. Lavish furnishings include wrap-around ceiling to floor French doors that overlook the elegant back patio and lawn.

The open kitchen flows freely into an eat-in dining area as well as a formal dining room. The room is furnished with tasteful, solid wood fixtures and has installed a full set of white cabinets and drawers, as well as sizable windows letting in ample outside light, giving the kitchen overall a very clean and elegant feel.

The large formal dining room is located between the living room and the family room at the front of the house. Doors can close off to isolate the dining room by itself. When curtains are opened, the dual windows facing the dining table illuminate the room with natural light. Additionally, connected to the kitchen is a less formal dining room ideal for more casual, everyday meals.

The large master bedroom has a very open feel, with plenty of space for additional furnishings. Connected to it is a long master bathroom that includes a redone Jacuzzi bathtub as well as a separate, glass-enclosed shower and steam system. The complimentary white and gold color schemes gracefully top off this luxurious master bath.

The home offers seven bedrooms total. On the first floor, two bedrooms share a full bathroom. On the second, there are three separate bedrooms/baths, with an additional two more bedrooms sharing a full bathroom. 

The hallways on the first floor are furnished with smooth wooden floors as well as a carpeted staircase, fixed with mahogany handrails, ascending up to the carpeted second floor. Another staircase behind the kitchen leads to a half-finished basement with wainscoting, closet and built-in desk and shelving.
