MAGNIFICENT CONTEMPORARY MASTERPIECE A Fully Renovated/Rebuilt Perfectly Scaled Sanctuary with Indoor Swimming Pool & Exquisite Gardens Inspired by Japanese Design, Just 1 Hour From Manhattan Elevated on a gentle rise and approached by a long private drive, this modern classic estate offers complete privacy and tranquility in a serene, wooded setting. Placed quietly in the company of tall, whispering trees this thoughtfully renovated home masterfully blends contemporary architecture with natural materials, creating warmth and a welcoming atmosphere throughout. Oversized floor-to-ceiling windows flood each room with natural light and frame stunning views of curated gardens inspired by traditional Japanese design, each vista composed like a living painting. Massive boulders and stone slabs—carefully placed throughout both the landscape and the home—create a sense of harmony from the first approach. The stone path leads to the front door and into a unique architectural oasis. Inside, soaring beamed ceilings and extensive custom millwork define the interiors, beginning with a gracious entry that opens to a generously proportioned living room centered on a monumental, two-story marble-clad fireplace. A formal dining room overlooks the gardens and connects seamlessly to the heart of the home: a striking, expansive kitchen ideal for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining. Anchored by a custom range hood and wrapped in dramatic black marble, the kitchen features professional-grade appliances and sleek cabinetry that merge function with sculptural design. The principal bedroom suite is perfectly positioned on the main level for effortless living, complete with a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The lower level offers two additional guest bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a private living room—well separated yet connected by a chic stairway bathed in natural light. The “pièce de résistance” a stunning 60-foot indoor heated lap pool with jets and a private sauna, housed in a contemporary pavilion with walls of glass on three sides and an illuminated ceiling. Sliding doors open to an expansive stone terrace accented with sculptural boulders, an ideal setting for alfresco entertaining or quiet reflection. Each window throughout the home was designed to frame artful views into the surrounding landscape—gardens deeply influenced by Japanese aesthetics. From winding stone paths to a hand-built stream and solid stone bridge, every element is shaped to evoke calm and contemplation. Designed for low maintenance, the garden becomes both sanctuary and spectacle—inviting moments of stillness, beauty, and connection to nature. The property is bordered by two protected preserves—the Goldfine Preserve and the Hale Ravine—offering direct access to peaceful woodlands and scenic trails. Whether entertaining guests or embracing solitude, this expertly engineered, move-in ready home delivers a lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and wellness. Located just minutes from Bedford Village, Pound Ridge, Katonah, and North Salem—and only an hour from Manhattan—this is a rare opportunity to experience design and nature in perfect harmony.
