Full Description:
Architect: Designed by James Stewart Polshek, former Dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture. Among his recent commissions are the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas, a building that sits 40-feet in the air, and the “gravity defying” Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, which houses The Hayden Planetarium. With 36,000 square feet of glass, the structure is the largest suspended glass wall in the country. Proud to be called a “modernist,” Mr. Polshek is known for his respect for fundamentals and his need to be responsible to the environment. His design for this house focused on the magnificent landscape, along with comfortable living and gracious entertaining.
Perched high on a hilltop and encompassing 4.2 acres, the home affords spectacular panoramic views from the kitchen, dining room, expansive living room and master bedroom, each with a private deck - perfect venues for viewing the distant vistas and the natural beauty of the splendid, rolling, private property.
Interior: 6 Bedrooms, 5 full baths and a powder room. With 4,876, the carefully planned home is comprised of three distinct sections: the kitchen wing, the living room wing and the bedroom wing. There are many glassed walls and floor to ceiling windows that provide sweeping views. The living room wing features random width floors, a fireplace, soaring ceilings, hidden wet bar and screened porch.
Location: The home is situated in Chappaqua, a quiet residential hamlet in Westchester County, New York. The area is noted for its wooded, winding roads and privately situated homes. The home, introduced by a lush, winding country road, is located in a 2-acre minimum zone, with numerous properties on more than 4 acres, giving this area its estate-like quality. It is within the Chappaqua School district.
