295 Salem Rd Pound Ridge, NY 10576

Set behind stone pillars at the end of a meandering private drive, this custom-built stone manor draws its inspiration from a 19th-century English manor house. This home features a rare blend of Old World craftsmanship and modern-day comfort on more than four private, lushly landscaped acres, just about an hour from New York City. Built in 1988 and thoughtfully updated since, the residence features Five fireplaces anchor the home's principal rooms. The living room, a soaring 39' x 24' space with 12' coffered pine ceilings and a massive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, sets a formal yet inviting tone, while the library's built-in cabinetry and Art Deco lighting bring a warmer, more contemporary counterpoint. The gourmet kitchen is a true tour de force, outfitted with Neff cabinetry, Viking appliances, and its own floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A library with French doors opens directly onto a stone terrace, ideal for quiet mornings or evening entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite is accessed through a generous sitting room/office with its own fireplace and continues into a bedroom with a tray ceiling and another fireplace, as well as a dressing area with a lovely walk-in closet and a spacious primary bath. Three additional bedrooms and a bath complete the sleeping quarters. Outdoors, the grounds are just as considered as the interiors: an oversized heated gunite pool and spa, surrounded by extensive stone terracing, formal and English gardens, and manicured lawns. The detached three-car garage includes a heated guest, staff, or au pair suite with a full bath, offering flexible space for visitors, live-in help, or a private studio/office. Notable amenities include marble and granite finishes throughout, gleaming hardwood floors, and 9' and 12' ceilings. Every detail reflects a home that was built without compromise and maintained the same way. Zoned for the highly regarded Katonah-Lewisboro School District, including Meadow Pond Elementary School, John Jay Middle School, and John Jay High School, this is a rare offering for buyers seeking a full-time residence or a refined weekend retreat within easy reach of Manhattan.
