About This Property
One block from the train and one block to the village, 159 Corlies
Avenue offers a rare combination of walkability, privacy, and
estate-scale living in the heart of Pelham Heights, set high above
the street on a private, tree-lined lot surrounded by mature
flowering plantings. This majestic Victorian spans 5,665 square
feet across four finished levels, with six bedrooms, four and a
half baths, and four fireplaces. Hardwood floors with detailed
inlay, oversized windows, and strong natural light carry
throughout, while a 1,014-square-foot wraparound porch defines the
home from the outset-equally suited for everyday living and
entertaining. Inside, the scale is immediately apparent, with a
center hall foyer and dramatic staircase opening to
well-proportioned living spaces. The formal living room is bright
and inviting, while the dining room-anchored by a wood-burning
fireplace-offers a more intimate setting for gatherings. The
kitchen, breakfast room, and informal living area function as the
core of the home, with two gas fireplaces and direct access to the
wraparound porch creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for al
fresco dining. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a French
Lacanche range, dual islands with Calacatta Gold marble and walnut
countertops, custom Wood-Mode cabinetry, and professional-grade
appliances, while a sunny breakfast room with serving area sits
just off the kitchen for casual dining. Upstairs, the primary suite
includes an en-suite bath and a dressing room / sitting area with a
wood-burning fireplace, while two additional bedrooms, a renovated
hall bath, and second-floor laundry complete the level. The third
floor adds further flexibility with two bedrooms, an updated full
bath, a sitting room, and a private office or den, along with
generous walk-in and attic storage. The fully renovated walk-out
lower level features eight-foot ceilings, radiant heated floors, a
full bath, separate entry, and multiple above-grade windows that
bring in natural light, currently used for recreation, fitness, and
music but equally suited for guests or au pair living, with a
covered porch and bluestone patio with fire pit creating additional
outdoor living space. Modern systems-including central air and a
14-zone heating system-bring a level of comfort and efficiency
rarely found in homes of this era. Located moments from the Pelham
Metro-North station on the New Haven Line, offering a 28-minute
commute to Grand Central, this is a rare opportunity to combine
space, convenience, and a true village lifestyle, a rare offering
in one of Pelham's most sought-after locations.
