Description

Elegant spacious Georgian-style brick home, designed by renowned architect William A. Bates for the Herbert C. Pell family in 1892. Located on a quiet hilltop Tower Hill Loop, all four levels offer world class views of beautiful Tuxedo Lake. Welcoming entry through a center stair hall, the main floor features an exceptionally large beautiful living room and equally spacious paneled dining room with high ceilings. The living room's two Jefferson windows seasonally bring the outdoors in and offer access to a large, pillared porch overlooking the lake and terraced garden area below. The dining room also accesses the porch, and the large picture window provides an ever-changing view of the lake. Off the center hall are a generous warm and detailed library and well-appointed galley kitchen. The second floor comprises five bedrooms each adjoining full baths. The upper third floor is a capacious partially finished area with lake views that could easily be restored for additional bedrooms or other living space. The large open plan lower level is a large family or entertainment room, and has a kitchen, full bath, multiple closets, and office study with adjoining wine cellar. All opens onto a large stone-enclosed outside room that opens to the terraced gardens and play area. Private and historic Tuxedo Park is a small 24/7 gated police-guarded community within an hour's drive of mid-town Manhattan. The village provides swimming, boating, biking, fishing and hiking as well as cross-country skiing and other outdoor activities at your doorstep.
