A Westchester County estate may signify a certain level of achievement, but it can also signal a retreat from the rhythm of modern life. With a pool, gym, wine room, and endless entertaining and play space, this contemporary mansion is more luxury resort than country castle–modern life included. Asking $6,875,000, the Scarsdale property is sufficiently estate-like on the outside. Inside, 21st-century best-ofs like smart-home technology and a geothermal heating and cooling system power nearly 10,000 square feet of living space with six bedrooms.
Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the sprawling open living and entertaining zones, with views of the patio and greenery beyond. Throughout the home, contemporary details like designer lighting add visual interest.
A floating staircase anchors the space. A modern fireplace adds warmth and light without fuss and bother. Flexible spaces, like a gallery that spans the width of the home, provide an opportunity to showcase art and accommodate guests.
A sleek, contemporary kitchen is seamlessly integrated into the open space. A dining area and cozy solarium/den represent the full spectrum of daily life.
Upstairs, the home’s six bedrooms are served by seven full bathrooms designed with every modern luxury. There are also two half-baths.
The upstairs living quarters are designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. Surrounding the bedrooms are a sitting room, a large playroom, and an executive-worthy office.
The home’s rambling grounds offer an equally full complement of amenities. A well-stocked patio includes an outdoor kitchen; a new gunite pool adds to the “everything in one place” resort vibe. Surrounded by well-tended gardens is what appears to be a mansion-worthy tree house.
Additional above-the-ordinary perks include a 900-bottle wine room, a large, bright gym, and a basement rec room. In this case, a Scarsdale address–a half-hour drive from NYC–comes with both privacy and the amenities of a Manhattan penthouse.
