Nestled in one of Garrison's most desirable areas, this secluded custom-built estate designed by architect Warren Temple Smith evokes the charm of a French European Chateau while embracing modern luxury and lifestyle convenience. Set on a tranquil 4-acre parcel with direct access to the Appalachian Trail and just 12 minutes from the Garrison Landing Metro North Station, this home is both a serene retreat and commuter's dream. The home's construction, with 12" thick aerated autoclaved concrete block and a traditional stucco finish, and a timeless appeal, while the attention to architectural detail from the hand-carved oak turret staircase to the solid mahogany fascia celebrates fine craftsmanship at every turn. Inside, three beautifully designed levels unfold with spaces tailored for both grand entertaining and quiet relaxation. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen, equipped with radiant-heated Bluestone floors, custom oak cabinetry, and premium appliances by AGA, Miele, and Viking, complemented by a walk-in pantry and butler's pantry. This is a kitchen designed for culinary creativity and gatherings alike, with charming pond views to set the scene. Formal and family living rooms offer versatile spaces for any occasion, while a refined dining room provides the perfect setting for memorable meals. European-inspired details are woven throughout the home, from the German Sorpetaler tilt-and-turn windows that invite in natural light, to the solid oak wood beams throughout, to the European style redwood entry door, and hardwood Knotty Alder interior doors with Irish old-world style door hardware and mortise locks. On the top floor, the vaulted primary suite becomes a luxurious sanctuary, featuring his-and-hers walk-in closets, a spa-like en-suite, and a private Bluestone balcony overlooking the pond a perfect spot to start or end the day. The outdoor spaces offer an extension of the home's charm, with an expansive stone walled patio that's ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. Enjoy a cozy evening by the indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces, grill up a feast at the built-in Bull gas grill, or relax in the built-in stone seating surrounded by locally sourced rock walls. With whole-home radiant heating, high-velocity AC, and WiFi-enabled technology including EcoBee thermostats and a digital pressure controlled well pump, this property provides an exceptional blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort. This is a residence designed not just as a home, but as an inviting lifestyle perfect for those who seek the harmony of nature, luxury, and convenience.
