About this home

# NEVER BEFORE OFFERED | A RARE BLAUVELT ESTATE OPPORTUNITY Offered for the first time by its original owners, 38 Shorn Drive is a truly special offering in one of Blauvelt's most coveted executive neighborhoods. Thoughtfully enhanced and meticulously maintained, this impressive 4/5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial combines timeless architectural appeal, generous living spaces, and exceptional privacy on a beautifully landscaped half-acre in the highly sought-after South Orangetown School District. Set approximately 100 feet back from a quiet residential street, the property makes a memorable first impression. Granite stone walls and illuminated coach lanterns frame the entrance, while a Belgian block-lined driveway leads through manicured grounds featuring specimen plantings, mature shade trees, landscape lighting, and full-yard sprinkler irrigation. A stone-accented facade and covered front porch introduce the elegance within. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer showcases imported European travertine flooring, detailed wainscoting, and a graceful turned staircase. The formal living and dining rooms connect through architectural columned openings, creating an elegant setting for entertaining. Hardwood floors, crown molding, picture-frame wainscoting, and a bay window lend warmth and sophistication. The heart of the home unfolds across the rear of the main level, where the expansive kitchen and family room create an inviting gathering space. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a substantial center island with seating, and premium GE Monogram and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances. A sunlit breakfast area opens through sliding doors to the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor living with the private outdoor retreat. Adjacent, the family room features a floor-to-ceiling cultured-stone gas fireplace and custom built-ins. Andersen windows, a powder room, dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the oversized two-car garage with built-in storage complete the main level. Upstairs, an open landing overlooks the grand foyer and leads to the spacious primary suite, featuring a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and distinctive columned sitting area with partner's desk. The primary bath offers a soaking tub, semi-frameless glass shower, and oversized vanity. Three additional hardwood-floored bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the second level. The fully finished lower level extends the living space with a multimedia recreation room featuring a dry bar, custom cabinetry, and built-in surround sound; a guest bedroom; a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, fitness studio, or flex space; a full bath; and abundant storage. The home offers nearly 3,000 square feet above grade, plus an additional **1,196 square feet of finished lower-level space, bringing the total to approximately 4,106 square feet.** Outside, discover a remarkably private, resort-inspired backyard designed for relaxation and entertaining. An expansive paver patio offers multiple dining and lounging areas, complemented by granite-stone seating walls and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. Lush lawn, mature hedging, and carefully maintained landscaping frame this peaceful retreat, while a storage shed adds practicality. The location completes the picture. Enjoy the South Orangetown School District, nearby parks, public and private golf courses, shopping, and dining, with convenient access to the Palisades Interstate Parkway and New York State Thruway. The charming Piermont waterfront and Tallman Mountain State Park are minutes away, with Manhattan within convenient commuting distance. Opportunities to acquire an original-owner property of this caliber, with exceptional grounds, privacy, and thoughtfully curated living spaces, are seldom available. For those seeking enduring quality, generous space, and an enviable Blauvelt address, 38 Shorn Drive presents a compelling opportunity to make something truly special your own.
