Remarks

A rare offering of privacy, craftsmanship, and resort-style living, this custom-built residence was designed and constructed by its current owner—a master architect who created the home for his own family. Every detail reflects thoughtful design, blending elegance, functionality, and enduring quality into a one-of-a-kind property. Privately set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, the home sits on 1.68 acres of landscaped grounds. A long, winding driveway passes dramatic natural rock outcroppings, creating a striking approach. Meticulously maintained and finished to high standards, the residence offers exceptional tranquility while delivering modern luxury. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the attached three-car garage with a lift and 14-foot ceilings, along with a detached two-car garage featuring an attic loft designed for future recreational or living space—allowing for up to six vehicles. Andersen French doors (a $25,000 upgrade) open to a newly installed Trex deck with under-cover protection overlooking the patio below. The finished walk-out lower level features a full bathroom, home theatre, full wet bar, and Murphy bed, with direct access to the pool area. The wet bar offers potential to convert to a full kitchen with proper town approvals, ideal for extended living. A fully integrated audio system provides surround sound throughout. The outdoor space includes a 20x40 heated in-ground pool, pool house, pavilion, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with an Italian-made grill, wood-burning pizza oven, and utility sink with hot and cold water. Mechanical upgrades include a newly installed heating system, 3-zone central air, 4-zone hot water heating, and a hot water circulating system for instant hot water. A multi-zone WiFi system ensures connectivity throughout. Additional features include Carrier AC compressors, water softener, retractable awnings, a 50-year GAF roof (2025), and a full in-ground sprinkler system. Safety features include a hardwired surveillance system, central security and fire alarm, carbon monoxide detection, new fiberglass oil tanks (2024), and an automatic whole-house LP generator. The chef’s kitchen features a Thermador 6-burner gas cooktop, double wall oven, KitchenAid French door refrigerator with three drawers, and a three-drawer dishwasher. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the kitchen and family room. The first floor includes a sunroom with two additional rooms and a full bathroom—ideal for an in-law suite, guest space, or office. Additional highlights include direct garage access to the laundry room, two entry walk-in closets, a spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets, and a princess suite with its own walk-in closet. Walk-in attic spaces on both sides—accessed from the primary bedroom and princess suite—are currently used for storage and offer potential to be finished for additional living space. Additional features include a storage shed. Located within the Carmel Post Office and Mahopac School District. Including the finished lower level, the home offers approximately 5,381 square feet. Taxes: Town/County $7,133.68; School $18,125.64; Total $25,259.32. STAR savings of $861 reduces total to $24,398.32. This is more than a home—it is a private retreat where luxury, comfort, and thoughtful design come together.
