extensively renovated and expanded colonial on nearly seven acres
Rimmed with picture-perfect stone walls, and tucked down a private cul-de-sac in one of Bedford's most prestigious estate areas, this handsome, move-in-ready colonial was expanded and extensively renovated by renowned architect Teo Siguenza in 2018. The picturesque, nearly seven-acre property offers a saltwater pool, brand-new pergola with outdoor fireplace, mature sugar maples, and a secret garden sanctuary. The current owners have re-imagined the estate as a jewel of a horse farm by adding an Amish-built, two-to-three-horse stable, spacious paddocks, and Belgian block and gravel driveway; the property enjoys direct access to the legendary Bedford Riding Lanes. For buyers without horses, the barn becomes the perfect party space or luxury garage for a car collector. Highlights of the recent renovation include a new cedar roof, the house and barn exterior repainted in 2024 and the installation of a front door portico and geothermal heating/cool. The 5,756 square foot, six bedroom main house includes carefully-curated classic touches throughout. A sunlit, three-exposure living room has wood-burning fireplace with molded mantel, elegant built-ins and French doors to a dazzling sunporch. An expansive dining room also flaunts French doors, winged by elegant built-in cupboards, that open to the terrace. A chic powder room with checkerboard marble floor and elegant wood-paneled den round out the front of the house. The heart and soul of the house is the vast kitchen featuring reclaimed wide board oak floors, expansive quartz island, and a rustic raised hearth. Its equipped with luxury appliances such as Thermador and Subzero. First floor additions by Siguenza include a sun-drenched family room two steps down from the kitchen, expanded mudroom, spacious sunlit bedroom with full bath and two porches. The second floor's sunny primary suite offers a bedroom with a grand window seat and walk-in wardrobe; the stylish en suite bathroom includes double vanity sinks and exquisite diamond-pattern marble shower. Additionally, there are three bedrooms enjoying double exposure and ample closet space, plus an exquisite chicly renovated bathroom. Anchoring the second floor is an expansive, adaptable space, embellished with storybook-style lattice windows and high arched ceiling, that can be imagined as a spacious bedroom, media room or spectacular office. Adjacent is a generous laundry room. Enormously flexible, the unfinished lower level offers options for a workout space, ping pong, utilities, as well as exceptional storage space for the off seasons. Between the renovated home, superlative barn, heavenly gardens, bridle/walking trails, level lawn for outdoor activities and pool--conveniently located off the sunporch--this is the quintessential luxury country option. There's always an impressive list of cultural goings-on at The Bedford Playhouse, Caramoor Music Center and Katonah Museum. All an hours' trip to Manhattan via major roads and/or Mount Kisco Metro-North.
