This Lincoln Park raised Cape Cod sits directly across from both Westchester County Park and Tibbetts Brook Park, two of the best green spaces in Yonkers. Nature trails, soccer fields, tennis courts, miniature golf and a lazy river pool are all literally outside your front door. No homes facing you, just trees, open space and the kind of quiet that's hard to find this close to New York City. This pristine home has been carefully maintained and it is evident as soon as you enter the residence. Four bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood floors throughout and a finished lower level with tile. Every corner reflects the pride the owners have taken in it over the years. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with great room to entertain. One-car garage with ample storage, plus two driveway parking spaces. Dunwoodie Golf Course is nearby. So are shopping, restaurants and the gym. For commuters, this location is hard to beat. Express buses, the No. 4 subway and Metro North are all just minutes away. Prefer to drive? The Saw Mill, Sprain Brook and Cross County parkways are all within easy reach. Homes like this are rare.
