OPEN HOUSE
LLOYD HARBOR LOCALE:
The exterior of the Victorian has loads of curb appeal.
By RUTH BASHINSKY
The elegant house at 405 West
Neck Road in Lloyd Harbor was
originally an 1830 Dutch farmhouse.
A century later, it was transformed
into a Victorian.
Once owned by the Axe family,
who also owned Tarrytown Castle,
the home features exquisite details on
the exterior and interior, bringing us
back to a time when men wore top hats
and women corsets and rode in horsedrawn
carriages. Today, that very same
home is on the market for $1,495,000.
Set on 2.1 acres, the 12-room house
includes seven bedrooms, three full
and two half baths, great room with
fireplace, study, gourmet eat-inkitchen
with breakfast area, master
suite with bath and partial basement.
There is also a private driveway and
two-car garage with brick patio and
brick deck.
“It’s a romantic house with high
ceilings, big rooms, plenty of natural The living room with its exposed beams adds character.
