22 Skahen Dr Tomkins Cove, NY 10986

Tucked far back from the road, down a sweeping drive, this completely remodeled custom Colonial redefines what it means to entertain at home. A secluded retreat set on 5 acres of total privacy, you may never want to leave. Step inside to a grand two-story foyer, flooded with natural light from an oversized Palladian window and anchored by a striking mahogany staircase with sleek metal rails. To one side, a front-to-back formal living room offers flexible space for both work and relaxation, while on the other, a formal dining room opens seamlessly to the heart of the home: a chef's kitchen. Here, custom maple cabinetry with oak trim pairs beautifully with professional-grade appliances - including a 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator and a suite of Viking pieces. A large center island provides seating for six, while an adjoining prep area and summer kitchen make hosting effortless. Just beyond, sliding doors reveal the true showpiece of this property: an outdoor oasis with a 20' x 40' inground pool, massive paver patio, pavilion, outdoor kitchen with built-in Lynx grill and vented hood. There is also a raised firepit for rotisserie cooking, and direct access to the walkout lower level. The two-story great room, with its soaring windows and dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, frames views of this backyard haven, filling the home with warmth and light. Upstairs, the private guest suite above the garage offers a living room with tray ceiling, office nook with balcony, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, and a full bath - a first-class retreat for visitors. The primary suite showcases Brazilian cherry floors, tray ceiling, custom walk-in dressing room, and a spa bath with jetted tub, towel warmer, and an oversized shower with body jets and rain head. Two additional bedrooms with maple floors share a beautifully appointed hall bath with heated towel racks and bidet. The finished lower level includes a family/game room with exposed beams that offer a refined, rustic feel. On the opposite side of the basement, a custom wet bar stretches 18' and looks through to a bonus room. These two spaces will certainly be a place where friends gather and games are watched. Laundry/mudroom, and gorgeous full bath complete this level. Thoughtful upgrades include radiant heat, two zones central air, high ceilings in the garage with porcelain-tiled floor, a new expansive driveway with parking for six, and a defined entry sequence that enhances the estate-like feel. This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle. Private, luxurious, and designed for gathering.
