See inside a Scarsdale artist’s $8 million masterpiece — from the opulent wine cellar and fireplace to the fire pit and treehouse cabana.
Westchester County is no stranger to pricey homes — we practically invented the “ultra-luxury” real estate category. Still, there are some local houses that simply have to be seen to be believed. Not even 10 years old, this modern masterpiece in Scarsdale’s coveted Fox Meadow community is currently owned by a local artist whose pieces showcase the home better than any staging ever could.
Location: Scarsdale
Asking Price: $7,999,000; Estimated Annual Taxes: $119,862
Built in 2015 with a colonial-inspired façade and tres-modern interiors — hello, you gorgeous monochrome industrial with your beautiful dark wood floor sand accents — the home mixes the best of classic and current Westchester County design sensibilities, and it’s no wonder: The house was custom-built by Cum Laude Group, one of the county’s most sought-after firms.
The home itself is a sprawling six-bed/7.2-bath just shy of 10,000 square feet, proudly showcasing a grand two-story entrance with floating staircase, and soaring 10-foot ceilings in its living areas. The open kitchen sports a massive 15-foot floating island and flows gently through to the living space. Every room on the first floor accesses the spacious outdoor amenities, which include an in-ground pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, patio, and fire pit.
Oh, and the treehouse cabana.
Six bedrooms — all en suites! — each feature spa-like baths and walk-in closets. On the lower level, guests can find the gym, sauna, rec room, guest suite, and (of course) the wine cellar. Because who wants a schvitz without a glass of vino?
The whole home is wired with Savant smart home tech from integrated lighting and AV systems to security, automatic window shades, and even energy-efficient geothermal heating.
Selling Points: Tree. House. Cabana.
