ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY UPPER B RO O K VILLE, NE W YO R K
Tucked away on five magnificent acres in Upper Brookville... A romantic and magical estate welcomes you through new electronic iron gates, up a winding driveway, to a circular brick courtyard where two wings of a six-bedroom, nine-bath, brick-and-shingle, modern French Tudor appear to welcome you with open arms. Unique in its melding of several different styles into a singular masterpiece of architectural design, the home was built in 1997 by the highly rated architectural firm of Ike Kligerman Barlkey. Recently, it has been updated with the finest materials and artistry to provide the best in luxury and style for Twenty First Century “Gold Coast” living. This ultimate retreat and entertainer’s paradise includes ample parking, an attached four-car garage, multiple expansive brick patios, estate-fenced oversized pool, and a delightful pool house. One of the wealthiest communities in the United States, Upper Brookville has long been popular for national luminaries to build their grand estates. It’s beautiful wooded countryside dotted with gorgeous properties offers easy access to the quaint village of Upper Brookville, boating, golf, equestrian facilities, high end shopping, museums, and near the railway or highway all within an approximate 40-minute commute to Manhattan.
Off a quiet cul-de-sac drive, the estate features gorgeous new landscaping throughout its five acres, with emerald lawns enfolding towering pines and oaks and accented by a myriad of flowering shrubs and flowerbeds. A seemingly fairyland forest. A brand-new gray-slate gabled roof with copper gutters, along with copper carriage lights and new inlaid bluestone patio, enhance the new entry foyer as do double-doors, sidelights, and copper roof - creating an inviting and impressive new entrance to the home. It gives a more intimate feel like a romantic Normandy chateau. Intersecting the West wing beneath a striking gable, a porta cochere, flanked by brick buttresses, provides an easy passage to the spacious service courtyard accessing a four-car attached garage. From here, guests can go directly to a delightful outdoor entertainment area. Also accessed from the family room, its brick patio with fire pit flows through gates down to an oversized, inground, heated, Gunite pool with sunken spa and immense brick surround with ample accommodations for huge summer soirées.
At the far end, an enchanting cottage-like pool house, echoing the main house design, offers a party room, kitchen, one-full and one-half bath,
