Overview

OLD WESTBURY. Standing majestically on well over two magnificent, country club acres, this gorgeous young Hampton-style Colonial is approached by a long circular drive offering panoramic vistas of beautiful professional landscaping. Perfectly designed to facilitate gracious year-round entertaining, the home features an open and airy floor plan exhibiting elegant moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and bright, spacious rooms. It includes an exquisitely appointed chef’s kitchen, a luxurious first floor master suite, and a total of six lovely bedrooms, five designer baths and one powder room. Accessed through several sets of French doors, the spectacular outdoor entertainment area features a new inground Gunite pool, expansive bluestone patio and an inviting and spacious, canvas awning-covered veranda. 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 magnificent estates that testify of the love these men had for the beauty of the area. Convenient to major highways and railway, the area is approximately a half-hour commute to New York City. Dotted with golf courses, a polo club, three major universities, and just a short drive from boating, museums, and premier shopping, the village is as appealing today as ever. Guests are welcomed through an entry door with sidelights and soaring fanlight into a bright and open two-story center hall foyer with wraparound second floor balcony. Gleaming oak floors flow into the adjoining formal dining room, with large front triple window, and throughout most of the home. To the rear, Tuscan columns frame entry into the gracious great room flooded with views of the pool and rear property through two sets of French doors flanking a stunning traditional fireplace. To the right of the foyer, the sunny study overlooks the front property through a large triple window. Accessed from the dining and great rooms, the impressive eat-in gourmet kitchen is truly a cook’s delight featuring extensive custom cabinetry with granite countertop, subway tile and granite backsplash, a farm sink beneath windows overlooking the pool, a planning center, and a huge center island with vegetable sink and seating area. Oak floors flow into the breakfast area that opens to the rear patio. Offering a sublime and luxurious retreat, the first floor master suite includes a lavish marble master bath. On the second floor five additional bedrooms are beautifully appointed and include six sumptuous baths en suite, oak and carpeted floors, and ample closets. The full unfinished basement provides additional storage space plus an ideal opportunity for finishing off additional living space.
