Nestled in the heart of Ardsley Park, the Evans-Powers residence is more than just a beautiful home—it's a sanctuary of stories, thoughtful restoration, and multigenerational love. From its treehouse-like upper floor to a carriage house that once sparked the imagination of children, this home is filled with both charm and history.

Where Classic Character Meets Modern Comfort

Ask Danni Evans-Powers what she loves most about her home, and you might want to grab a coffee and settle in—because the list is impressive. “We truly love everything about this home!” she says, beaming with genuine affection. Among the standout features are two fully-equipped indoor kitchens, a dream for anyone who loves to entertain or cook as a family. The low-maintenance landscaping offers serene beauty without the usual hassle, and from every window, you're greeted with a view that makes you pause and appreciate.

Upstairs, the ambiance takes on a magical quality. “It feels like living in a treehouse,” Danni shares, a perfect description of the leafy, light-filled vistas surrounding the home’s upper levels. The attic, which spans the entire footprint of the house, is a treasure trove in itself—original cedar closets, partial climate control, and room to dream. And let’s not overlook the four-car garage tucked inside the carriage house—a rare and coveted gem in any neighborhood.

A Home with Roots and Stories

This isn't just any beautifully renovated home—it has history. Originally built by Dr. Elliott Iseman, a well-known local dentist, the house was constructed with love and intention for both his family and his wife’s. The carriage house, with its whimsical origins as a child’s playhouse, once hosted bedrooms, a bathroom, and a spacious playroom. Today, it’s been thoughtfully transformed into a functional kitchen, dining, and living space—while still echoing the joyful energy of its past.

The home also hosted General Frank Meszar, another colorful character with tales worthy of their own novel. “I have many fun stories about him—feel free to stop by for a visit,” Danni offers with a wink. “I'd be happy to share them with anyone!”

Restoring the Soul of a Home

About seven years ago, the Evans-Powers family undertook a comprehensive renovation, walking the line between historic preservation and modern updates. Their goal was simple: to honor the home’s original purpose of multi-generational living while ensuring it would stand strong and stylish for years to come.

From original design details to subtle floor plan tweaks, everything was done with intention. And the result? A home that feels both timeless and tailor-made for the rhythms of real life.

A Bittersweet Goodbye

As with any great home, the memories made within its walls are what truly bring it to life. “This home is very special to us,” Danni says, her voice touched with emotion. “We are proud to have restored it to its original purpose.”

Though the family’s dynamic has shifted, especially following the loss of Danni’s beloved father-in-law, the legacy of care, laughter, and love still lingers in every room. It’s a home of big windows, generous rooms, original pull-down screens, and the kind of neighbors who become lifelong friends.

As the Evans-Powers family looks toward new beginnings, they do so with hope that the next owners will cherish this space just as deeply. “We hope someone will come along and love it as much as we have,” Danni shares.

And with that, one thing is certain: this Ardsley Park gem is more than ready for its next beautiful chapter.
