85 Orchard Hill Rd Carmel, NY 10512

A rare offering of privacy, craftsmanship, and resort-style living, this custom-built residence was designed and constructed by its current owner-a master architect who created the home for his own family. Every detail reflects thoughtful design, blending elegance, functionality, and enduring quality into a one-of-a-kind property. Privately set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, the home sits on 1.68 acres of landscaped grounds. A long, winding driveway passes dramatic natural rock outcroppings, creating a striking approach. Meticulously maintained and finished to high standards, the residence offers exceptional tranquility while delivering modern luxury. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the attached three-car garage with a lift and 14-foot ceilings, along with a detached two-car garage featuring an attic loft designed for future recreational or living space-allowing for up to six vehicles. Andersen French doors (a $25,000 upgrade) open to a newly installed Trex deck with under-cover protection overlooking the patio below. The finished walk-out lower level features a full bathroom, home theatre, full wet bar, and Murphy bed, with direct access to the pool area. The wet bar offers potential to convert to a full kitchen with proper town approvals, ideal for extended living. A fully integrated audio system provides surround sound throughout. The outdoor space includes a 20x40 heated in-ground pool, pool house, pavilion, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with an Italian-made grill, wood-burning pizza oven, and utility sink with hot and cold water. Mechanical upgrades include a newly installed heating system, 3-zone central air, 4-zone hot water heating, and a hot water circulating system for instant hot water. A multi-zone WiFi system ensures connectivity throughout.

The chef's kitchen features a Thermador 6-burner gas cooktop, double wall oven, KitchenAid French door refrigerator with three drawers, and a three-drawer dishwasher. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the kitchen and family room. The first floor includes a sunroom with two additional rooms and a full bathroom-ideal for an in-law suite, guest space, or office. Additional highlights include direct garage access to the laundry room, two entry walk-in closets, a spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets, and a princess suite with its own walk-in closet. Walk-in attic spaces on both sides-accessed from the primary bedroom and princess suite-are currently used for storage and offer potential to be finished for additional living space.
