5 Belmont Dr Irvington, NY 10533

Unique and rare Irvington village stone home on a shy 4-acres nestled in the heart of the Ardsley Park neighborhood, only 45 minutes by train from Ardsley-on-Hudson station to Grand Central. As you enter the gated property and ascend the winding driveway to the hilltop park-like setting, you are transported to an oasis of serenity. Built in 1922 and featured at the time in Country Life magazine as the quintessential "small estate", the stone house has been a piece of Irvington history, lovingly maintained with a thoughtful balance of period features and modern updates. The house has a decidedly European sensibility, with sophisticated interiors updated by the current owners with a leading architect and interior designer with a global client list. With 6 bedrooms (easily converted to 7) and 5.1 baths, this idyllic estate has a gated entrance, mature trees for privacy, stone walls to match the home's exterior, a small pond, and a wraparound terrace with panoramic views. The renovated 6,353 sf interior is rich with historic charm and discerning design throughout, including timeless millwork, custom built-ins as well as hidden bookcases in the living room, original doors and hardwood floors, plus multiple fireplaces. Main-level highlights: front-to-back foyer, dining room with French doors to the terrace for alfresco entertaining complete with separate, covered outdoor dining area, butler's pantry, and chef's kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find a sophisticated primary suite, 4 bedrooms (including private guest quarters), a large balcony, and laundry room. A separate bedroom and bathroom (formerly the chauffer's quarters) offers a private suite with separate entrance from the driveway. The third level extends your living area with office spaces and full bath and 6th bedroom, with potential for a second bedroom or playroom, and spacious attic for storage., The lower level boasts a spacious laundry room with dual washers and dryers, sauna, playroom/exercise area and opportunities for expansion. The property has a gated entrance, full perimeter fencing, mature trees for total privacy, stone walls to match the home's exterior, a small pond, and wraparound terrace with panoramic views. A wooden/gravel staircase and path at the rear of the property, where there is room for further expansion or outbuildings, leads to the first green at Ardsley Country Club and a short walk to idyllic Halsey Pond.
