Overview
PEN MOR ESTATES | MUTTONTOWN. Looking for some elbow room in a country setting full of sophistication and state-of-the-art creature comforts? This magnificent five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath, brick colonial on 2.35 acres of expansive lawns with a spectacular outdoor entertainment complex and an equally impressive interior, should end your search. In Muttontown’s scenic Pen Mor Farms, it enjoys a rural ambiance with white Kentucky board fencing encircling a much-loved community of resplendent two-acre-plus mini estates. Best known for its nature preserves, “Golden Age” estates, and pleasant residential character, the village of Muttontown was originally settled by Dutch and English farmers for raising sheep. During the early Twentieth Century, many of New York’s financial leaders established their grand residences on these majestic hills located only 25 miles from Manhattan. Two former estates are now known as The Muttontown Golf and Country Club and The Woodcrest Club. With similar roots, the well-known 550-acre Muttontown Preserve offers some of the most beautiful parkland on Long Island including scenic equestrian trails.
On a cul-de-sac shared with two equally impressive properties, this impeccable and imposing home welcomes guests with a front parking courtyard, and spacious side courtyard, serving its attached three-car garage, to allow ample parking for guests. Designed for year-round entertaining, the property boasts a fabulous estate-fenced recreation area with a renovated, gas-heated, inground pool with new paving-stone surround and entertainment terrace boasting a huge outdoor fireplace with massive chimney plus an outdoor kitchen with gas grill and pizza oven. The home’s interior is equally enthralling with high ceilings, elegant moldings, exquisite detailing, Smart Home technology, and oversized rooms throughout. Recently renovated and in pristine condition, the home looks and feels like it is brand new.
Upon entering the bight and ethereal two-story entrance foyer, you will be enthralled by the graceful bridal staircase and gleaming, heated Italian porcelain tile floors resembling Calcutta marble. Exquisite fielded-panel wainscoting flows into the banquet-sized dining room and to the stunning living room, with marble-faced wood burning fireplace. Both features wide-plank oak floors and ample sunlight. A butler’s pantry, with wet bar and wine cooler, connects the dinning room and the expansive gourmet kitchen. A coffered beadboard ceiling presides over extensive custom cabinetry with quartz countertop and marble chevron backsplash; a large quartz-topped center island with built-in microwave, prep sink, and seating; integrated side-by-side, full size refrigerator and freezer, and gas cooktop with pot filler. All appliances are high-end. Similar porcelain floors connect with the foyer and the sunny breakfast area that opens to the dining terrace. The adjoining family room, with inviting matt-finished stone gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, features oak floors flowing into the adjoining living room and French sliders that open to the terrace. A service hallway off the kitchen provides access to back stairs, the attached three-car garage, laundry room with sink, a full bath, and a guest/staff bedroom. A lovely powder room is off the entrance foyer. The full unfinished basement offers ample space for storage and/or expansion.
Overlooking the foyer, the second-floor landing opens through double doors into the palatial and lavish master suite where hallways lead to the regal master bedroom; offering hand-glazed fielded paneling, a back-lit tray ceiling, massive marble-faced gas fireplace with overmantel for television; and to a rear balcony and two fabulous, custom-fitted closets – each accessing its own luxurious marble bath.
