Description

This iconic Georgian Brick Colonial set on over one acre, tucked behind a tree-lined drive off Forest Avenue in Rye, NY, offers a rare blend of timeless architecture and resort-style living. A private recreational haven awaits: a beautiful tennis/sport court, a sun-drenched newly renovated pool, spa, a charming cabana with a kitchenette and two full bathrooms offer all the ease of a luxury club, right at home. Imagine relaxing summer days with coffee on the deck, followed by a set of tennis, and ending on a pool float with a cold beverage. This distinguished home sits on beautifully landscaped grounds that feel far from it all, yet only minutes from the quaint downtown of Rye, great restaurants, boutique shops, top-rated schools and express trains into NYC. Verdant lawns, towering trees, and a canopy of green provide serenity. Extensively landscaped with ornamental trees, such as Bradford pears, weeping cherry, as well as rhododendrons, azaleas, peonies, hydrangea, and perennial flowers throughout. Thirty green giant arborvitae trees offer additional privacy. Such gardens can take decades to curate and cultivate. A gate at the rear of the property allows you to join the fun neighborhood events that take place on Drake Smith Lane, a double cul-de-sac. It is the best of both worlds: private estate living and a neighborhood to enjoy. Inside, the interiors unfold with classic detail and generous proportions. A rounded, grand entry foyer with views straight through the home to the backyard leads to bright and beautifully scaled living spaces. The large, classic living room is warm and inviting with a wood-burning fireplace. The paneled library also has a wood-burning fireplace made of marble and is rich with character. A large dining room with a walk-in wet bar updated in 2025 is ideal for entertaining. Originally built in 1930, the home was later expanded to add a family room adjacent to the kitchen for a more modern lifestyle. A deck was also added with a natural gas line for the BBQ, and a light-filled sunroom was built, which leads to the backyard. The family room has a wine refrigerator and built-in cabinetry. The kitchen has an eat-in area, a Thermador 6-burner range with a grilling surface, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, an additional under-counter Sub-Zero crisper, two sinks, and a Bosch dishwasher. A Butler’s pantry with beautiful wood countertops and a large sink made of zinc complements the kitchen. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has two walk-in closets with views of the pool, tennis court, and side garden. The primary bedroom connects to a separate sitting room with French doors with a view of the entire backyard. Across the hall is a dressing room with a walk-in closet, a storage closet, and a stackable washer and dryer. This room would also be ideal as a Nursery or an office. The primary bathroom contains an oversized jacuzzi bathtub, a steam shower, and a bidet. Two additional en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets complete the second floor. The top level features a full gym, three additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The finished lower level with windows offers a wine storage room, expansive recreation space, a large laundry room, a half bath, meticulously maintained mechanical rooms, and access to a 2-car garage. The architectural details of this home have been preserved, including beautiful oak floors, a gently curving staircase, leaded glass, brass registers, beautiful hardware, high ceilings, and more. The home has been meticulously maintained. The cedar shingle roof was redone in 2019. Located close to town, the train station, highly rated Midland School, Rye High and Rye Middle School, Nursery schools, the Rye YMCA, the Rye Arts Center, the Rye Nature Center, and the Rye Recreation Center. Enjoy all that Rye has to offer: Parks, the Beach, the Marina, many beach, golf and yacht clubs, as well as many restaurants. Rye, New York, is just 35 minutes from Manhattan.
