Property Description
A Legendary Estate with a Sports Sanctuary Step into a world where luxury meets athletic excellence at this exceptional Georgian Colonial estate in Upper Brookville. Set on over two acres along the most prestigious street in the area, this residence offers an unparalleled blend of history, elegance, and recreation. The centerpiece of this property is an oversized indoor sports sanctuary, designed for the ultimate sports professional or enthusiast. With a private tennis court, heated pool, and spa, this estate is built for year-round enjoyment.

The grand circa-1930 home, once owned by Josephine Hartford Douglas of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company legacy, exudes timeless sophistication.

The recreation building originally housed a swimming pool, tennis court, music room, and drawing room-echoing a heritage of grandeur and entertainment. Inside, the spacious residence boasts a beautifully updated kitchen, a luxurious master en-suite, and elegant living and dining spaces.
