A classic covered front porch, with room for a hammock, leads to a cheerful entry with stained glass window, setting the stage for this captivating Victorian-style home. Brimming with natural light and remarkable golden sunsets, 8 Villard Avenue beckons. Its stellar location is literally around the corner from downtown Hastings and a short stroll to parks, playgrounds, schools, pools, trails, and amenities that meet every need. Metro North is two blocks away and only a 35-minute train ride. From the entry, pocket doors reveal a welcoming formal living room featuring 9-foot ceilings, burnished wood floors, and generous window bay. The adjacent formal Dining Room includes picture-rail moldings and a second bay window. Where good times happen, the spacious eat-in kitchen has garden views and a convenient walk-in shelf-lined pantry. A study/den with two exposures is a versatile space that could easily serve as an office or playroom. Admire the carved newel post as you ascend to the second floor. The primary bedroom features striking architectural and Palisades vistas. Two additional bedrooms, both with picturesque downtown views, hall bathroom and cozy office complete this level. An imagination-inspiring third floor delights with an additional estimated 320 square feet; on one side find a spacious recreation/yoga room featuring 12-foot vaulted ceilings, brilliant light and sweeping year-round views of the Palisades and Hudson River, and on the other, a multipurpose room/office as large as the primary bedroom. The side property lends itself to barbecues, play, flowers and small vegetable gardens. The curb cut allows parking for your vespa, electric bike or motorcycle around the back. A wonderful place to create happy memories! Now it's your turn.
