With nearly 7,000 square feet of sophisticated living space, living the luxury life couldn’t be easier in this majestic custom brick Colonial in tony Briarcliff Manor. The home’s understated elegance is wrapped in custom detailing, including soaring ceilings, walnut-bordered oak floors, crown moldings, and a sweeping main staircase at the home’s entry. “It has such a graceful design including a beautiful state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen and a master suite sanctuary with its own private deck and a marble bath spa,” says listing agent Betsey Relyea. “The home’s effortless flow lends itself to large-scale entertaining indoors and out.” Indoor/outdoor entertaining comes naturally thanks to the interior design that features French doors opening from the living room to the family room, and breakfast nook to an expansive slate terrace overlooking the property’s 3.5 scenic acres. An unfinished walk-out lower level that adds an additional 2,000 square feet, easily accommodates a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, cedar closet, and lots of storage space. The main-floor master suite is designed for privacy, but splits the home’s six bedrooms between two floors. For more information, contact Houlihan Lawrence listing agent Betsey Relyea at (914) 715-1092 or visit www.betseyrelyea.houlihanlawrence.com.
