A sublime lifestyle estate amid enchanting garden surrounds
Grand in scale, unequalled in quality of finish and outstanding in every respect, this luxurious residence and grounds form a gracious lifestyle estate of rare pedigree. This truly unique property was meticulously custom designed in 1927 and built with every conceivable luxury to offer a superb home for entertaining. It is set in 6.38 acres of magical grounds originally landscaped by Ellen Biddle Shipman and enhanced in the 1980s by Lester Collins and is part of the prestigious section of Larchmont's Country Club area.
No expense has been spared to ensure excellence and to provide one of the area’s premier properties. Interiors feature a supremely spacious 8,869 ft² floorplan over three generous levels, connected by an internal elevator. The grand entrance hall is an impressive introduction with an imposing chandelier, soaring ceilings and a sweeping staircase of elegant proportions. Flowing open living spaces include a selection of formal and casual areas with a wood panelled library, an intimate breakfast room and a large sunroom that integrates seamlessly with the outdoors.
Upper level accommodation consists of up to eight double sized bedrooms including a deluxe master bedroom suite with a dressing room, bathroom and wide terrace. There is also a third floor family room and a finished attic space. All the upper floor rooms have wonderful views over the enchanting grounds.
The basement includes large areas for storage, a workshop and heated garage for three cars with access to the elevator. The gourmet kitchen, ideal for family entertaining, is appointed with custom oak cabinetry and high-end appliances.
A major highlight of this beautiful property is the stunning landscape that features many tranquil pockets, a secret garden setting and a babbling brook with waterfalls and stepping stones. Designed as an ‘American stroll’ garden, it follows the lay of the land with a perfect composition of rock, water, wood and sky that creates a magical oasis.
Formerly known as ‘Fenbrook’ and surrounded by a lovely dry stone wall boundary, this exclusively addressed home is a masterpiece of epic proportion. It provides a gracious living environment that is without parallel and is conveniently situated within minutes of town, local shops and the Metro North railroad - just over half an hour to Manhattan.
