When noted architect William Price gazed upon this 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath stone and brick home in 1897, he must have felt great pride. He had designed a particularly elegant, sophisticated home that was to become one of the finest of the historic Pelham community's collection of custom designed and built family homes of the late 19th century. And if Mr. Price is gazing down from above today, he must relish how this home has been so beautifully maintained and improved over the last 123 years. He would notice: geo-thermal heating and air conditioning, the transformation of his rear 2nd floor into a smashing master bedroom suite, his original oak floors in superior condition, a very 21st century eat-in kitchen designed by a gourmet chef. And he would appreciate how his oversized double hung and bay windows still bring in abundant sunshine.

When noted architect William Price gazed upon this 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath stone and brick home in 1897, he must have felt great pride. He had designed a particularly elegant, sophisticated home that was to become one of the finest of the historic Pelham community's collection of custom designed and built family homes of the late 19th century. And if Mr. Price is gazing down from above today, he must relish how this home has been so beautifully maintained and improved over the last 123 years. He would notice: geo-thermal heating and air conditioning, the transformation of his rear 2nd floor into a smashing master bedroom suite, his original oak floors in superior condition, a very 21st century eat-in kitchen designed by a gourmet chef. And he would appreciate how his oversized double hung and bay windows still bring in abundant sunshine.
