Beautiful Estate Minutes From Town
Spectacular 50+ mile views are the hallmark of this very special property, which includes an accessory apartment and a guest cottage.
Longview Estate welcomes you with breathtaking views & spectacular architecture. Located just over an hour from Manhattan the residence is nestled on over 12 acres of pristine land & offers a weekend home feel with full-time amenities. Situated in the West Mountain Historic District, it retains the charm and quality of yesteryear, but also provides for the best in modern living.
The magnificent two-story windows in the great room, as well as numerous vantage points within the house perfectly frame the majestic views, while the flexible floor plan means the home functions perfectly as a single or multi-family residence.
Complete with either a one or three bedroom apartment/au pair suite, as well as a separate one bedroom guest cottage, the home is only minutes to the town center & 10 miles to the Katonah Train Station for an easy commute into NYC.
The main residence is comprised of the great room, library, formal dining room with a Waterford crystal chandelier, as well as a functional butler’s pantry, updated kitchen and a family room. A spacious exercise room, gorgeous office with views from all sides, and a second kitchen and full bath are also perfectly situated to take advantage of a potential pool site. Upstairs, the master suite includes a spacious bedroom with a sitting area and fireplace, and walks out to a stunning flat roof balcony with views. The additional bedrooms are either ensuite or share hall baths.
Breathtaking Vistas
The beauty of Longview is undeniable. Manicured lawns provide a bucolic accent to the rolling hills and vales visible from the myriad windows found throughout the home and provide the changing natural canvas from which to enjoy the sunsets and seasons. A beautiful red brick patio and path surround the home, while specimen plantings, rock gardens, native plants, a brook and a pond, a perennial garden and even a vegetable garden adorn the grounds.
