Love luxury and sports? This 1938 waterfront Colonial (known as Four Chimneys) may be your personal paradise, allowing you to live the grand life and pursue your passion for sports all within its 1.79-acre palatial grounds. The grandeur begins at the gated entrance—a profile that continues throughout the entire property inside and out. It also has the distinction of being designed by the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, known for such New York City landmarks as the original Madison Square Garden II, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Penn Station, and the Washington Square Arch, along with many Westchester country estates of the rich and famous. Thanks to a well-thought-out renovation, extraordinary architectural details pair beautifully with amazing amenities. As listing agent Gay Rosen puts it, “There’s simply not one other property in the area, this close to the city—just 30 minutes away—that offers the luxury amenities that abound at Four Chimneys. The property, overlooking a large lake, offers privacy and renovated perfection. The infinity pool that blends seamlessly with the lake, the indoor half basketball court, outdoor sports court, waterfall, putting green, and the huge gym with its splendid views of Sheldrake Lake really set this home apart.” Lake access allows for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and non-motorized boating, though there’s no access to the Long Island Sound.
