Tucked away on a fully fenced, over two-acre, park-like, electronic-gated property, stands a sprawling Farm Rach expanded and remodeled in 2007. This 5,400-square-foot mini estate of your dreams is located in the scenic Upper Brookville village. With rolling wooded open spaces rife with wildlife and dotted with grand and historic estates, you will be close to boating, golf, equestrian facilities, quaint village shopping, museums, and Long Island Railroad with about a 40-minute commute to Manhattan. Within about a mile radius of your home you will find four golf courses, a produce farm, a nursery (both with stores), and mansion museums and preserves. Oyster Bay, Locust Valley, and East Norwich villages are just a little farther away.
Surrounded by sprawling, level lawns bounded by rows of evergreens and split-rail fences, the main building wraps around a delightful outdoor entertainment complex with large Gunite, saltwater pool, with hot tub and water feature, expansive bluestone patios, and a large, covered cooking pavilion with ample bar seating. Think of the fabulous summer parties you can enjoy in this inviting setting. At the end of the pool, a garden offers colorful plantings, fruit frees and a privacy wall of evergreens. On the east side of the pool, a free-standing, legal guest cottage may invite its guest to an early morning dip, and on the west side, a large recreation room, with full bath, walk-in closet, a large pub-like wet bar with wine cooler, a game area, and a home theater, can serve as a great cabana party room.
A bookcase-lined hall leads from the pool party room into the sitting room of a large in-law suite that includes a summer kitchen, laundry room, luxury full bath, and bedroom. A hall opens from the apartment into the main house where a banquet-sized dining room creates a Tuscan atmosphere with a stone fireplace and open-beam ceiling. The spacious eat-in kitchen has similar open-beam ceiling and rustic lighting. It offers extensive cherry cabinetry, granite counters, several windows overlooking the front courtyard, a huge center island with wine cooler, a walk-in pantry, and high-end stainless-steel appliances, including a double wall oven with convection, and a six-burner glass cooktop beneath a custom copper exhaust hood. The spacious, sunny, two-story entrance foyer, with powder room, features a staircase, with ornate iron balustrade, ascending to a second-floor balcony. The adjoining, spacious and welcoming living room provides sunny views through huge front and rear windows, a closet, and access to the attached two-car garage. Two steps down from the foyer and kitchen, an immense, sun-drenched four-season room features stone floors, huge windows overlooking the pool and patio, access area the pool, and a stone corner wall housing an arched wood-burning oven/fireplace; perfect for pizza parties.
