July 2022

By Grace Cassidy The English manor-style home at 573 North Broadway in Yonkers dates back to 1910 – and it could have had a very different history. Back in 2007 when the property was listed for sale, a developer had plans to buy the home, knock it down, and replace it with multiple homes on the 0.6-acre property. Instead, the home was purchased by James Trosino and Robert Alan in 2010, who lovingly restored the century-old home . Back in the early 1900s, Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre, Jr., was commissioned to build a home for John Andrus, a chemicals tycoon and former mayor. The architect drew inspiration for the incredible property from a trip to England he took years earlier. It is thought to be the only Eyre-designed home in Westchester County. Spanning 8,679 square feet in size, including the third and lower levels, the home features seven bedrooms and four-and-one-half bathrooms. A stunning brick exterior is complemented by window shutters, charming dormers and a series of wood-carved busts framing a bay window. Multiple fireplaces are found throughout the residence, including in the living room, sitting room, and dining room. A sunroom is the perfect spot to entertain or curl up with a good book. The spacious kitchen was designed with entertaining and family meals in mind, complete with stainless-steel appliances, a generous center island and full-height cabinets and pantry storage. The master bedroom offers a private retreat within the home, featuring a separate balcony off the bedroom, a spacious dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower and a sunlit soaking tub. Other bedrooms include fireplaces, and another fireplace is found downstairs in the fully finished lower level. A detached two-car garage with storage above provides plenty of extra space. The outdoor space offers a herringbone brick patio and lots of green lawn space for enjoying summer afternoons. Douglas Elliman agents Nancy Strong and Stacey Oestreich represent the listing. The asking price is $2.5 million.
