Property Description

As does Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Fallingwater, this hilltop enclave provides privacy, luxury and customized details. Nestled high atop Philipse Manor in Westchester County, this home has majestic Hudson River views. The architecture, harmonized within the natural environment, creates a unique flow of indoor and outdoor experiences with 38-minute access to Grand Central Terminal. Completely gut-renovated in 2019 and was built to the specifications of the owners whose attention to all structural, mechanical, electrical, utility, material and finishing quality made this quintessential, energy-efficient home a reality.The first level is a sun-filled, central gathering place. Upon entry, the two-story windowed living room and dramatic fireplace remind you of an Architectural Digest cover. This room opens to a massive lounging deck, perched two stories above the quiet dead-end street below, with views of the river. Flanking the living room is a separate, sunken, family room with full, luxury bath. This room can serve as in-law suite, or for younger families, an au pair or playroom. Its view of the side yard includes a beautiful garden shed, which may be repurposed as a pool house for a future pool or hot tub. Across the living room, the formal dining room opens to a cliffside patio and firepit. Adjacent is the Chef's kitchen anchored by a colossal marble island. The modern, luxury cooking area conjures images of Thanksgiving with dozens of family and friends passing through to taste or participate in meal prep. The layout and amenities are a cook's dream, with a breakfast nook view of the manicured private front garden. Off the kitchen, there is a second, custom outdoor kitchen for entertaining. For families crossing multiple generations, one can host the younger crowd outdoors, while older guests can enjoy the cool indoors, yet the walls of windows and entries maintain a feeling of togetherness. This expansive patio can fit several dining tables and adult games, such as ping-pong. Access to the garage is off the kitchen via a large mudroom. It has its own exterior entrance where wet or sandy family and guests can kick off their gear after a day at the private Philipse Manor Beach Club (3-minute walk) and even the dog can take a bath in the contained shower tub. Outside there is parking for 4 SUVs. There are 7 doors, providing seamless access to each distinct area of the private grounds.
