Chappaqua Log Cabin: Where Rustic Meets Modern
$799,000
Annual property taxes: $30,946
60 Cabin Ridge Rd, Chappaqua
When you think of Chappaqua, “log cabin” probably isn’t what comes to mind. That’s exactly what makes this authentic 1920s Adirondack-style log cabin home—where rustic meets modern—so special. Says listing agent Susan Slotnick: “Just the fact that it’s a log cabin in Chappaqua makes this house unique. The house itself is fascinating with stone and herringbone brick floors, beautiful wide-plank pine flooring, original pine walls, arched doorways, brick and stone fireplaces, and soaring beamed ceilings.” Its history is equally fascinating. According to Slotnick, the house, built in 1922, began as a hunting lodge and remains surrounded by other Cabin Ridge Road homes that were originally intended for the overnight stays of lodge owners and their guests. Now expanded to 4,452 square feet to accommodate four bedrooms; four full baths; a powder room; an eat-in-kitchen; and a spacious master bedroom suite complete with a dressing room, luxurious marble bath, and its own private balcony, the property not only still maintains its historic heritage, but also features every comfort and function of modern life. Almost two acres of lush grounds—including a stone patio, stone pathway, and towering trees—complete the serene setting. “It’s a spectacular cabin that was converted into a very special home,” Slotnick adds.
