Nestled in a premier neighborhood of 38 luxury homes surrounded by scenic nature views lies 7 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 and Beth Delaney of our Rye brokerage are the listing agents representing this one-of-a-kind offering, which is currently on the market for the reduced price of $2,195,000.
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 New York City. 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 includes 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.
7 Johnson Place is no exception. The 6,160 square foot home was used as the model home when The Preserve was under development. The property also served as a backdrop for the 2014 film “Godsend,” which starred Greg Kinnear, Rebecca Romjin and Robert DeNiro. Residing on .56 acres, this fenced-in flat yard includes a garden, a two tiered stone patio with a built in grill and a putting green for the golf enthusiast. The two story vaulted entrance hall is flanked by living and dining rooms. A white kitchen with stainless appliances and a spacious family room with a fireplace is truly the heart of the home.
“We purchased 7 Johnson Place 20 years ago,” explained the current homeowner. “We were its first inhabitants and it had all the bells and whistles the builder could add. The house quickly became our home. There was always room for our older children and our parents to come visit. Everyone in Rye knows of The Preserve. It is easy to get to know people here, and you will immediately become part of this small corner of Rye.”
