With a 10,442-square-foot interior, 50 Crows Nest Road–known more casually as Crows Nest–in the Westchester County village of Bronxville, NY seems worth its $3.5 million ask (recently reduced from $4.4 million) on that information alone. This 1849 Gothic Revival manor house was built of local stone and sits on 1.3 acres of hilltop land–with the Manhattan skyline visible in the distance. It’s a suburban mansion rich with well-preserved dramatic flourishes, with modern infrastructure and design added to make it a 21st-century family home.
A broad front veranda offers a welcoming first impression as well as shelter and a place to showcase your gardening skills. A grand pair of mahogany doors are an introduction to the elaborately carved wood that can be found throughout the house.
Large rooms offer 12-foot ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, Corinthian columns, decorative plaster ceilings, and six working fireplaces. On the first floor, you’ll find the reception room, a library, a dining room, and a living room as part of an expansive floor plan.
A bright, timeless high-end kitchen offers family-sized appliances and a breakfast bar. The kitchen opens onto a sunny family room and a deck overlooking the lawn, gardens, and stone gazebo.
Up the home’s carved mahogany staircase is a glorious Tiffany stained glass window. On the upper floors are nine bedrooms, big modern baths, a playroom, an exercise room, staff quarters–and a crows’ nest.
This Bronxville property offers unique architecture and green, gorgeous grounds, close enough to the city to admire its skyline. The home is also less than a mile (a 13-minute walk) from the Bronxville train station.
