Rare Opportunity To Own A Historic North Shore Mansion With Original Architectural Appointments On .41 Landscaped Acres
This lovingly preserved seven bedroom manor house is part of the history of George Washington Vanderbilt's sprawling North Shore "cottage development". Vanderbilt, of Biltmore fame and a patron of the arts, built in excess of twenty-three residences as part of the Clifton-based project, including eight designed by Carrere and Hastings. Originally the home of George M. Root and Anna Hand Van Duzer Root, Cornelius Vanderbilt's granddaughter, the residence features an expansive floor plan spread over three full floors with architectural detailing, appointments and amenities common to many nineteenth century estate houses.
Enter into the high-ceilinged formal gallery featuring double stained glass doors, hardwood flooring with contrasting inlaid border detailing and a grand curved staircase with oversized display niche. Double pocket doors lead to a formal dining room with stained glass windows and custom woodwork.
The residence features a double parlor layout with ten foot high French windows overlooking a seventy-one foot long wrap around covered porch and landscaped front garden. Both living spaces feature matching marble fireplaces, hardwood flooring with inlaid border detailing and lavish custom woodwork including oversized crown molding, trim work and hinged paneled doors. In addition there is a bay window with a full-sized window seat.
A double exposure, fully paneled space adjacent to the gallery features a coffered ceiling, fireplace with separate entrance and dedicated half bath large enough for use as a recreational room, media room or home office space.
The second level features a full-length landing with access to a second full staircase which leads directly to the extra large kitchen. There are four full bedrooms with two additional matching fireplaces, ample closet and built-in storage, and a large full bath.
The third level features full-height ceilings, three full bedrooms and a spacious walk-in attic.
A full basement offers three large sections for storage and workshop use. There is a full-sized laundry area with half bath and direct stairwell access to the rear patio and garden.
The extra-wide 75 230 foot deep property features an oversized patio, free-standing garage with adjacent carport parking, mature landscaping and a 75 145 foot private garden.
