1090 Route 35 South Salem, NY 10590

Presenting a unique historic colonial estate in South Salem. 1090 Route 35 was last available 54 years ago, so it's fair to say that an opportunity like this only comes up twice in a century. Built in 1780, this 14 room home sits on an expansive 17 acres of rolling lawn, woods, stone walls, mature maple trees, and a stream. Afternoon sun filters through the six over six double hung windows and reflects off the wide board hardwood floors. The home features a 37 foot living room, a formal dining room, a pine paneled kitchen with breakfast area, five bedrooms, additional rooms for guests, and three sets of stairs to the second floor. A large pine paneled family room off the kitchen opens out to the patio, and is steps from the bucolic pool. There are multiple outbuildings on the property, including a three car garage with additional space that could easily serve as a stable or workshop. A delightful barn sits behind the house and could be improved for use as an office or studio. There are two storage sheds, a changing room for the pool, and the old ice house. In a clearing beyond the pool, there is a tennis court, sadly not in use, that with restoration could be brought back to life. The home is well located close to the villages of Bedford, Pound Ridge, Katonah, and North Salem, and there are many fine restaurants nearby, including The Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean-George, and the intimate French charm of Cenadou in North Salem. The Town of Lewisboro is characterized by rolling hills and lakes, and there are numerous preserves and parks for hiking, canoeing, and fishing.
