About this home
Historic William Price Masterpiece in Pelham – 6 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths with Extensive Upgrades
When noted architect William Price designed this stone and brick home in 1897, he created one of the most elegant and sophisticated residences in Pelham’s collection of late 19th-century custom-built homes. More than 120 years later, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath treasure has been lovingly maintained, thoughtfully updated, and extensively improved, seamlessly blending timeless architecture with modern comfort.
Mr. Price would be proud to see his original oak floors, refinished throughout and gleaming once again, his oversized bay and double-hung windows still filling the home with natural light, and his gracious floorplan now enhanced with geo-thermal heating and cooling, expanded living spaces, and countless upgrades inside and out.
Recent enhancements include hurricane shutters, all new first-floor windows, a fully renovated front porch with Aeratis composite flooring (50-year warranty), an expanded rear deck, and an impressive outdoor kitchen with natural gas Weber grill, Kamado Big Joe smoker, sink, and refrigerator. The garage has been completely renovated, insulated, climate-controlled with its own HVAC, and finished with a sprung, Marley floor, making it ideal for use as a studio, gym, or therapy space. The driveway accommodates at least four cars for added convenience.
Inside, the chef’s kitchen shines with all new appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, granite counters, and a custom walnut dining table attached to the center island. Just off the kitchen, the original butler’s pantry has been reimagined as a bright and functional kids’ work/play room. The kitchen flows into the formal dining room and spacious living room, complete with bay windows and a fireplace. Upstairs, the bedrooms are large and thoughtfully updated, including a renovated primary suite with new windows and blackout shades. Bathrooms have been gently modernized and modified while retaining much of their original character.
The basement now includes a finished media room with recessed lighting, heating and cooling, and all new windows, while mechanical upgrades feature two geo-thermal HVAC systems (one with humidifier), newer water heaters, upgraded electrical panels, and parged and sealed walls with painted floors.
Additional highlights include a newly built attached shed, you would never know it’s not original, replaced gutters, rebuilt the fence and pathway, added security system with cameras and exterior lighting, and there is a solar-powered attic fan.
This home is as functional as it is beautiful, perfect for entertaining, yet designed with quiet spaces for retreat. Nestled in a welcoming and diverse community, it is just steps to shops, restaurants, buses, and commuter rail.
A rare opportunity to own a true architectural treasure, thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. Schedule your showing today.
