Property Description

Directly across from the historic Roosevelt estate carriage house sits 105 Durand Road - a home that beautifully balances rich history with thoughtful, modern design. Once owned by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Lute Pease, this 4-bedroom plus office residence is perfectly positioned blocks from Maplewood Village, South Mountain Reservation and NYC transit. The home has been comprehensively updated, beginning with a 2015 main-level transformation creating effortless, open flow. The gourmet kitchen features a Bosch appliance suite, Carrera marble counters, and a custom reclaimed wood island, opening into a bright family room with Anderson 400 Series windows and elegant French doors. Attention to detail continues in the private quarters, where every bathroom is rebuilt to high standards, including a primary bath in Carrera marble. The detached garage is engineered as a premier creative retreat; structurally reinforced and outfitted with dedicated high-capacity electrical service, it is ideal for a professional workshop, art studio, or home gym.Infrastructure offers peace of mind. An exterior restoration saw the house stripped to bare wood before repainting, alongside a full roof replacement. Modern mechanical upgrades include a natural gas conversion, new central AC system, and a full PVC sewer line replacement. Both mechanically and aesthetically perfected for today's lifestyle, this property offers a rare chance to own a piece of local history. Welcome home.
