Description

Meticulously renovated and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional home blends classic craftsmanship with modern sophistication, offering a level of finish, style, and comfort tailored to today’s most discerning buyer. A dramatic foyer introduces a series of breathtaking living spaces, including a grand living room with coffered ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, flowing effortlessly into a sun-drenched family room appointed with oversized picture windows, bespoke millwork, and direct access to an expansive 585 sq ft patio overlooking the expansive, manicured grounds. Designed for elevated entertaining, the formal dining room offers exceptional proportions and presence large enough to host any occasion. The modern chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, exquisitely outfitted with custom solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous center island, and a full suite of premium appliances, including two refrigerators, two dishwashers, double Wolf ovens and dual deep sinks—perfectly suited for both intimate gatherings and large-scale hosting. Private quarters are equally impressive, with generously scaled bedrooms featuring custom storage and refined designer finishes. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a capacious walk-in closet, and a spa-caliber bathroom showcasing a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower and radiant heated floors. Crowning the home, the third level presents a spectacular retreat with remarkable flexibility—ideal as a guest suite, kids' quarters, executive office, or sophisticated lounge—opening to a sweeping terrace with picturesque treetop views of the neighborhood. The unparalleled lower level offers nearly 2,000 sq ft of versatile bonus space, elevating everyday living with a large recreation area, fitness zone, full bathroom, potential bonus sixth bedroom, and large private offices with a separate entrance. No detail was overlooked in the comprehensive renovation, with improvements spanning all major systems and infrastructure, as well as refined interior and exterior enhancements. Notable upgrades include the roof, windows, gutters, furnace, central air, electrical systems, plumbing, sewer line, landscaping, insulation, walkways, patio, driveway, doors, and recessed lighting. Energy-efficient features include new high-performance windows, tankless hot water heater and LED lighting. Set on a rare .76 acre private sanctuary, the estate-like grounds are framed by a lush evergreen privacy border and adorned by stunning cherry trees and Japanese maples. Expansive, level lawns and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces are complemented by ambient landscape lighting, creating a setting of exceptional beauty and tranquility. Ideally situated just steps to Wykagyl Country Club, houses of worship, shopping, dining and schools, this extraordinary haven embodies convenient, luxury living at its finest.
