Stylishly reimagined and masterfully expanded by two renowned New York fashion VIPs, this sophisticated 1905 Colonial seamlessly merges modern luxury with the home’s original integrity, grandeur, and charm.
Tucked away on picturesque Hardscrabble Road—yet minutes to Chappaqua’s vibrant downtown—this serene sanctuary has been a highlight of the New Castle Historical Society house tour.
Exuding postcard-perfect charm, the landscape designed by the acclaimed Martha Baker, close to an acre, comprises mature woodlands, glowing landscape lighting, curated boxwoods, potted topiary trees, flowering dogwoods, and a rose-trimmed garden fence. A rustic pergola adorned with wisteria, climbing roses, and morning glories leads to a sparkling, freeform Gunite pool. At the garden’s edge, an enchanting stone chapel, original to the estate, has been rebuilt with a new cedar roof and now serves as a dreamy meditation space or luxe poolside cabana.
Character and old-world charm abound in the all-updated 4-bedroom 7793 SF manor house. An iconic freshly restored rocking chair porch, topped by an upper-level porch, leads to an elegant double-level entry with maple staircase, stone fireplace, and designer pendant lighting. Inside, meticulously maintained original Douglas fir floors, detailed wainscoting, custom millwork, and three wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and distinction.
With decor curated by premier Manhattan interior design firm Foley & Cox along with celebrated designer Libby Cameron, the home has been meticulously tailored for a buyer seeking exceptional quality, contemporary comfort, and timeless elegance. Ideal for entertaining, the sun-soaked living room features stunning built-ins, while the formal dining room boasts a stone hearth and two plush window seats.
The reconceptualized kitchen includes an oversized hand-mitered Carrara marble island, custom fittings and cabinetry, showstopping pendant lighting, and top-tier appliances from Thermador, Monogram and Wolf. A stylish, multitasking pantry with tumbled marble floors, a chef’s desk, and ample shelving add functional beauty. A first-floor guest bedroom with full bath and antique radiant heated hand-hewn walnut floors (that also grace the kitchen and family room) completes this luxurious level.
Downstairs, the sunlit walk-out lower level offers the perfect play space, guest suite or creative studio with walls of windows, deep sills, cozy carpeting and a full bath. Climb the stairs to the serene primary suite, a private spa experience with carved fireplace, generous walk-in custom closets, and French doors to a private balcony. The ensuite bath boasts radiant floors, claw-foot soaking tub, and dual marble vanities.
A sleek Mid-Century Modernism defines the third floor, recently transformed into a luxury work-from-home office. Skylights, custom built-in cabinets, and copious closets ensure an efficient, esthetic experience.
Located in the coveted Chappaqua school district, this rare gem offers historic beauty, endless chic, and resort-style living all in one. Minutes to the Saw Mill Parkway and two miles to Chappaqua Metro-North.
