Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. – October 26, 2016 – Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that the firm has listed a modern home located on the site of the Newberry Estate, which was originally owned by J.J. Newberry, in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. Newberry found and managed the classic American five and dime chain J.J. Newberry’s, a company that had stores all over the country throughout the 20th century. Designed by award-winning architect Steven Harris, the residence is currently listed with the HCH Team, comprised of Beth Hargraves, Maria Carlino and Bernadette Haley, and offered at $1,069,000.
Originally founded in Pennsylvania, J.J. Newberry’s American five and dime chain opened its first store in 1911. John Josiah Newberry managed the company with his brothers, eventually acquiring other stores throughout the country to expand the chain. By the time of Newberry’s death, the firm owned and operated a total of 475 stores.
Built in 1996 by Steven Harris, who has previously won the Architectural Record award for Best House of the Year as well as numerous AIA and Interior Design Best of Year awards, the residence rests on 5.22 acres of land that once marked the site of the Newberry estate. Bordering the Teatown Lake Reservation, the largest private nature preserve in New York State, the property enjoys access to several local trails and ponds for private hiking including the Teatown Cliffdale trail and J.J. Newberry horse trails. The custom-built passive-solar home was strategically designed to embrace this surrounding nature with a seamless transition between the indoors and out, boasting energy-saving standards and bright, airy interior spaces with scenic views.
Features include high ceilings, walls of glass and an open floor plan ideal for family living and entertaining. The four-bedroom, four-bath home additionally offers a chef’s kitchen fully equipped with top-notch, stainless steel appliances and soapstone counter tops.
“This modern hilltop home with a post and beam construction is fabulous in so many ways,” said Hargraves, Carlino and Haley in a statement. “It’s an impressive residence located in an unbeatable setting that offers great history, beauty and opportunities. The HCH Team is proud to represent this stunning residential gem in Westchester County.”
