430 Park Ave Rye, NY 10580

Rare, ravishing red-brick Georgian with off-the-chart charm, amenities, privacy and property-including an enchanting arboretum. Also exceptional in Rye: a separate, legally rentable, 2-bedroom carriage house that's the consummate option for family, friends, or staff. Built in 1928 and extensively renovated & re-imagined in 2019 by decorator Angela Kosinski, the 5880 SF architectural stunner seamlessly merges contemporary elegance with graciously proportioned classicism. This is livable grandeur! A "wow" feature on the first floor is the sprawling sun-drenched family room - once upon a time an outdoor portico - which features a wood burning stove, high coffered ceilings, radiant heat, sleek lacquer built-in bar, and French doors that whisk you to the bluestone terrace, granite benches, and meditation gardens. A swoon-worthy entrance hall with soaring ceiling beckons you to a living room with original walnut floors, crown molding and 6 over 6 windows as well as the dining room whose 9-foot ceilings, decorative wall trim, and fireplace ensure a trifecta of elegance. Another go-to gathering space is the sleek modern eat-in kitchen, ample walk-in pantry, butler's pantry with dishwasher, designer lighting, and premier appliances, including Dacor range and double ovens, 2023 SubZero fridge, and new Miele dishwasher--all stylishly illuminated by the Lutron LED system. Anchoring the first floor is a gracious octagonal sunporch with arched, natural wainscot ceiling and a direct path to the vegetable garden for modern farm-to-table living. The sophisticated second floor offers 5 bedrooms including a luxe primary with views of cherry blossoms with spa bath and dual wardrobe, a second bedroom with a chic sitting room, and another with a balcony with lovely garden views. Infinite possibilities on the third floor with two additional bedrooms, an office, a full bath and a potential private retreat space for work, gym, yoga or music room. Set way back from the road down an idyllic gravel driveway, this outstanding property is not only pin-drop quiet and private, but endlessly colorful and fragrant with ornamental plantings such as flowering lilacs, Rose of Sharon, Japanese maples, Redwoods, and dogwoods. The enclosed vegetable garden features mature apple, pear, and fig trees, along with raised beds and built-in irrigation for harvesting a bounty -- from tomatoes to lettuce to rhubarb to chamomile. Geared toward entertaining large gatherings, there is an abundance of parking options. Speaking of which: there's plenty of parking at nearby Harrison Metro-North (although you can walk to the train in under 15 minutes!) The plantings and long winding driveway make you feel like you've retreated to a tranquil English garden and yet, you're just steps from Osborn Elementary and Rye Golf Club. All only 22 miles to Manhattan.
