Description
Incomparable stone & shingle manor, offered by its original owners, is the quintessential country sanctuary located in Armonks coveted estate area. Sited at the end of an idyllic wooded cul-de-sac, this gorgeous, gated property on 5.21acres has been lushly landscaped for ultimate privacy with towering arborvitae, bounteous boxwoods, stone walls, and an array of apple and pear trees. All the boxes are checked on this one: 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths, 5 fireplaces, spectacular pool, a series of multi-level mahogany decks, and acres of level lawns for family fun. The offering is designed to be grand, yet warm & welcoming. Built in 2004 and scrupulously maintained, no detail was spared, starting with the sensational stone exterior, a double-height entrance hall with elegant split staircase and herringbone wood floor. A stylish living room with decorative millwork, an Old World-inspired wood-paneled office, and formal dining roomeach room with a fireplace--round out the gracious welcome to the house. The quiet-luxury chef''s kitchen features a granite island, infinite cabinets, premier appliances by Viking and Bosch and an oversized butlers pantry. The adjacent great room---the current familys go-to gathering place - is an unrivaled entertaining haven with built-in bookshelves and fireplace. A bonus on the first floor is the spacious screened porch that overlooks the pool; conceived to be both a breezy Cape-Cod style hub in summer and a heated Aspen-worthy apres-ski lodge in winter. The second floor boasts great versatility with a posh primary suite with oversized windows and tray ceiling; it includes a spa bath with soaking tub & dual water closets and two walk-in wardrobes. There are a myriad options for family and friends with 4 additional bedrooms, each a classic with crown molding and high ceilings and marble bathrooms. The sprawling lower level is the consummate destination for fun times, with professional-size bar, full gym, workshop and great room area for TV bingeing, Super Bowl parties and apres-swim gatherings (Doors open to the pool patio and a shaded porch). Steps from the beloved Agnes Meyer Preserve with its 250 acres of hiking trails, this desirable location is also minutes to Armonks exceptional shops, schools and restaurants.
