Nestled in a premier neighborhood of 38 luxury homes surrounded by scenic nature views lies 1 Johnson Place, a classic five-bedroom Colonial that benefits from its prime location in the Preserve at Rye. This coveted Westchester County homeowner association encompasses 12 acres of conserved woodlands with trails, walkways and tree-lined streets, all in the heart of Rye, N.Y. Judy Croughan of our Rye brokerage is the listing agent representing this one-of-a-kind offering, which is currently on the market for $2,099,999.
The Preserve at Rye is a spectacular place to live. While boasting a serene, private environment, the neighborhood benefits from a close proximity to commercial centers, shopping and entertainment, and is just a short train ride away from NYC. Amenities at The Preserve include social events, beautifully landscaped common areas and even maintained walking paths to the adjacent award-winning Rye Neck schools.
The property is also within walking distance of Rye Golf Club and Marshlands Conservancy. Rye Golf Club is available for all Rye residents to join with no initiation fee. “It is a great plus for the City of Rye,” comments Croughan. The wide range of offerings include a challenging, 18-hole golf course with views of the Long Island Sound and a heated Olympic-size pool.
All homes built within The Preserve contain traditional exteriors with exciting, contemporary interior living spaces that are spacious and inviting. Their custom features, dramatic designs and impressive details are flawless, thanks to the expertise of award-winning architect Nadler-Philopena.
1 Johnson Place is no exception. High ceilings and tall windows highlight the elegant interior of this bright and airy, 5,959 square-foot home. The open floor plan draws individuals in with a two-story entry foyer. Its formal living and dining rooms, library, open kitchen and family room provide excellent accommodations for entertaining. All five bedrooms are on the second floor, including the master suite, complete with his and her closets. The luxury continues on the lower level, with nine-foot ceilings, a playroom, gym area, half bath and ample storage space. The quiet property additionally contains a three-car garage and professionally installed putting green, and has room for an in-ground pool.
“It’s the quintessential friendly neighborhood,” explains the current homeowner. “On warm spring and summer days, families will be outside talking to neighbors, walking dogs, playing baseball in the cul-de-sacs or riding bikes. There is even a good chance a few entrepreneurial kids will have a lemonade stand or bake sale going on. The Preserve has always been sought after for its strong sense of community.”
Interested in learning more about 1 Johnson Place? Be sure to visit the property’s public open house this Saturday, May 13th from 1-4 PM. Croughan will be giving away special Mother’s Day treats to all who attend.
