Description

Once upon a time there was said to be a speakeasy at this site during prohibition c.1930 which then became a family homestead. Now on the market for the first time and ready for a new life is 704 Lake Rd in West Harrison/Town of Harrison. Take note of the very tall ceilings in the walk out basement level and the integrity of the stone foundation. The sub-basement houses the oil tank and a mystery about what occurred there during its heyday. A large patio adorns the front of the house, the driveway runs along the side. Inside are four bedrooms, a full bath and a living room with a wood burning fireplace. West Harrison is adjacent to White Plains and is considered a suburban community, it is serviced by the noteworthy Harrison Central School District. In the early 1700's, most of West Harrison, then known as Silver Lake, was owned by Daniel Merritt, who sold out to John Horton (of Horton's Grist Mill) in 1732. The following century, the Horton family sold property to a Mr. Underhill in 1833, who again sold to a Mr. Gainsborg in the 1890's. Mr. Gainsborg developed early West Harrison into a resort area, and many old-timers remember that before World War II, West Harrison had a hotel, a casino and an internationally known ski jump. This location makes for easy access to highways, Westchester County Airport, world class golf courses and public transportation via bus or Metro North RR. Shopping is central to this area with White Plains and its many major retailers plus local small businesses throughout this area. Fine dining is all around as well as history and cultural events. Make this one special with your own customized design and landscaping. It's a winner in location and proximity!
