OLD WESTBURY. Secluded behind a gated entrance and surrounded by dense foliage, you will be surprised and delighted to escape into this enchanting paradise in historic Old Westbury. Though built in 1985, it was renovated from top to bottom in 2015 with the latest in custom design and comfort, exhibiting the finest in finishes and craftsmanship. Ideal for year-round entertaining, this entrancing four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath ranch boasts a beautifully finished basement, with ample space for many activities, plus an outside entertainment space with pool, expansive patio, outdoor kitchen, playground, fire pit, and more. For well over a century, Old Westbury has been a favorite destination for Manhattan’s captains of industry and finance to make their home. Its gently rolling verdant hillsides are dotted with golf courses, a polo club, three major universities, and magnificent estates. Convenient to major highways and railway, the area is approximately a half-hour commute to New York City and just a short drive from boating, museums, and premier shopping.
Standing serenely at the center of two gorgeous acres of level manicured lawns accented by specimen plantings, this classically inspired stucco-and-stone villa offers a resort-like outdoor entertainment complex to its rear. Versailles-patterned stone patios cover an immense area encompassing a large inground pool, dining pavilion, ample areas for lounging, and a fabulous outdoor kitchen complete with granite-topped L-shaped bar with seating and built in grill, refrigerator, microwave, stove, and sink. A separate patio with fire pit, an air-conditioned playhouse, and sandy playground are nearby. Ample space remains for future addition of sports or tennis court and even a putting green if desired.
Welcoming you from the large parking courtyard, spectacular arched and oversized, glass-and-filigree entrance doors open into a magnificent two-story entrance foyer where stunning inlaid herringbone marble floors, coffered ceiling, elegant wainscot, and door entablatures tell you this is no ordinary ranch. This is more like a practical, sensibly sized version of a grand estate. Elegant moldings, high decorative ceilings, and gleaming inlaid marble or hardwood floors flow throughout much of the main floor including the chic formal dining room, sophisticated living room, and even the incredible sky-lit great room, which boasts a soaring marble fireplace flanked by arched windows and French doors to the patio, built-in surround sound, high arched entry from the foyer, and arched opening to the kitchen with bar seating. The delightful white gourmet kitchen has a fairytale ambiance with coffered ceiling, crystal chandelier, ample custom cabinetry resembling fine furniture, high-end integrated appliances, and commercial-size Viking gas stove with pot filler. Even the sunny breakfast alcove, with banquet and sliding French doors to the outdoor kitchen area, is elegant yet comfortable. A large walk-in pantry is nearby. The bedroom wing includes two attractive bedrooms, a hall designer bath, a study, plus the palatial master suite with exquisite bedroom opening through French doors to the rear patio, plus a large custom-fitted walk-in closet and lavish marble master bath featuring a large shower with seat, free-standing tub, dressing table, and elegant marble-topped twin vanity. The full finished basement boasts a grand entertainment space, a playroom, ample storage, egress windows, two guest rooms, a bonus room, and a full bath. Everything in this gorgeous and inviting home is in pristine condition and ready for you to just move in and enjoy.
