Fieldston home in the spotlight

A house being offered for sale by Trebach Realty in the Fieldston Historic District was featured on a recent broadcast of WNBC-TV’s Open House NYC, a weekly program about real estate in the New York tristate area.

The segment, which was hosted by Brad Trebach of Trebach Realty, was broadcast twice on Sunday, Jan. 13 on Channel 4.

The five-bedroom 1920’s Tudor Revival-style house on Delafield Avenue is priced at $6.75 million. Completely renovated in 2005, it has a front porch, a side breezeway, a rear patio, and is set on more than a third of an acre.
