8 Stark Court

Description

"STUNNER ON STARK" - Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of New City's most desirable residential enclaves, 8 Stark Court is the kind of home that immediately announces itself with presence. Set gracefully on nearly an acre of manicured grounds, this striking Colonial blends timeless architecture with an extensive modern transformation, creating a residence that feels both grand in scale and exceptionally livable. Just approximately 35 minutes from New York City, and moments from the vibrant conveniences that make Clarkstown one of Rockland County’s most sought-after communities, the location offers the perfect balance of privacy, prestige, and accessibility. Nearby, residents enjoy acclaimed parks and hiking trails, golf courses, restaurants, cafes, shopping, and easy access to the Palisades Parkway and major commuter routes. From the moment you arrive, the home exudes a sense of elegance rarely found at this price point. A sweeping driveway and stately facade give way to a breathtaking double-height entry foyer where soaring ceilings, dramatic natural light, gleaming white floors, and refined gold accents immediately set the tone for the interiors beyond. The home unfolds with an airy, open flow that feels simultaneously sophisticated and welcoming—designed for both elevated entertaining and everyday family living. Every room has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, resulting in a truly turn-key offering where craftsmanship, scale, and condition are immediately evident. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet including the finished basement, the residence offers six spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one beautifully appointed powder room. Sunlight pours through oversized windows from morning to evening, illuminating the home's clean architectural lines and curated finishes. The formal living spaces feel lifted from the pages of a design magazine, with dramatic lighting fixtures, refined textures, and an effortless blend of modern glamour and classic Colonial warmth. The grand living room, framed by oversized windows and soaring ceilings, creates an atmosphere that is both serene and impressive—an ideal setting for gatherings large or small. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen designed for those who truly love to cook and entertain. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a Wolf oven, the space combines beauty and functionality with custom cabinetry, generous prep areas, and sunlit dining spaces overlooking the grounds. The adjacent entertaining areas transition seamlessly outdoors, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle throughout the warmer months. The property itself is equally compelling. Perched above the backyard, the elevated pool area feels like a private resort retreat surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping. Whether hosting summer parties, enjoying quiet mornings by the water, or spending evenings under the stars, the outdoor setting offers an incredible sense of escape and tranquility. Recent updates including a new pool heater and liner in 2024 ensure the space is fully prepared for years of enjoyment ahead. A fully finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility for additional entertaining space, a media room, gym, playroom, or guest accommodations. Additional recent improvements, including a new roof installed in 2023, further reinforce the home's impeccable condition and pride of ownership throughout. Elegant yet inviting, dramatic yet comfortable, 8 Stark Court is a rare offering that successfully captures the essence of modern luxury living in New City—where refined design, exceptional scale, and a peaceful neighborhood setting come together in perfect harmony.
