Perched atop one of Mount Kisco’s most desirable historic streets, this beautifully restored storybook Victorian offers the lifestyle so many New Yorkers dream about: a quick walk to the train, room to grow, and a private backyard retreat with a saltwater pool.

Built in 1877 and thoughtfully renovated for modern living, the home sits at the highest point of Captain Merritt’s Hill on nearly half an acre, combining sweeping village views with rare walk-to-town convenience. Metro-North, restaurants, shops, and coffee spots are all just minutes away, making the commute to Manhattan remarkably easy while delivering the space and calm impossible to find in the city.

Inside, timeless architectural details blend seamlessly with sophisticated updates. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen anchors the home and opens naturally into warm, inviting living spaces filled with natural light, wood floors, designer lighting, custom millwork, and curated finishes throughout. With six bedrooms across multiple levels, the layout offers incredible flexibility for growing families, guests, home offices, playrooms, fitness, or creative space. The redesigned primary suite includes a custom walk-in dressing room and integrated office that can easily convert back to an additional bedroom if desired.

Over the past four years, the home has undergone extensive improvements including a full kitchen renovation with new appliances, beautifully updated baths, finished basement, custom cabinetry and built-ins, professional landscaping, and designer decorating throughout.

Outside, the property feels like a private resort hidden above the village. The heated saltwater pool, expansive sun terrace, mature landscaping, and fully fenced yard create an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, children, and pets alike. A retractable pool cover closes effortlessly with the touch of a button, offering both convenience and peace of mind.

Beautifully maintained and move-in ready, this rare hilltop Victorian offers the perfect balance of historic charm, modern comfort, outdoor living, and effortless suburban convenience — all less than an hour from Manhattan.
