Let’s take a drive north of the border-Pound Ridge
I was recently at a friends home in Pound Ridge and thought it would be interesting to blog about it especially given how different our markets are. A recent addition to the market, “Cloverleigh” is gorgeous 7000 sq ft Colonial on 7.34 acres abutting preserve! 29 Threshing Rock Road is offered at $2,287,000 through Eric Rosenfield at William Raveis.
Situated at the end of a private cul de sac, this grand home sets a presence early on.
Tom D’Orio of Weston was the builder and has done several high quality jobs throughout Bedford, New Canaan and Pound Ridge. This home has everything you would expect, windows throughout, white oak floors, laundry room, closets and more closets, sound system and generator. It has all those important details we look for.
This pink living room reminds me of a House Beautiful issue. Supposedly everyone looks gorgeous in a pink room.
Love the back to back sofa.
The dining room has the most pleasing and beautiful green wallpaper.
I was very distracted by this gorgeous Ralph Lauren piece. The glass shimmered.
My favorite spot…the grasscloth covered, Vaughen lit breakfast room. This sun filled room offers you a serene place for coffee or a spot to enjoy the sunsets.
Just loved this spot in the kitchen that hosted shells from the family journeys.
What a couch…..room for everyone. It is perfectly scaled to the room.
The dogs had a great time following me around. This is a hall from the breakfast room to the family room that runs across the back of the house.
The bedrooms are large and perfectly scaled.
OHHHH the fabric. That China Seas will take her all the way to adulthood.
LOVE the Brunschwig drum nightstand.
The master suite is super zen and sophisticated.
Views from every room, even the dogs want to take it in.
What an elegant landing.
NEVER overlook the powder room. Just like 19 Sunnyside, it is a small spot that can make a statement.
A large deck travels the whole back of the house.
Site for a pool and tennis court. Imagine the pool and pool house here and you have created your own retreat.
Uniquely sited on acres of flat lawn bordered by woodlands for privacy,The extensive lawns are perfectly suited for ball fields, play areas or cocktails at sunset.
We can’t forget the large walkout basement with sliding glass doors., an au pair suite, a hobby room and tons of storage.
There is a peacefulness to Pound Ridge that is hard to match in the commutable tri state area. You can truly get away from it all without having to drive a few hours and fight traffic. No traffic, no traffic lights. Beware of turtles crossing the road during the spring mating season or the wild turkeys crossing.
There are great restaurants – DiNardo’s (the best pizza) with a casual front room and patio for family dining and a more formal dining room. North Star, great live music. Jean George’s, the Inn at Pound Ridge…..fab. Richard Gere’s Bedford Post. He is at the restaurant/hotel often and takes yoga classes at The Loft, which is on the hotel property. Superb fine cheese shop, Plum Plums in Scott’s Corners. Scott’s corners is what we call our town area. That is where DiNardis and North Star are located. Local farmers market in Pound Ridge on Sundays. Organic, non-GMO raised chicken and beef, veggies and baked foods.
We would love to show you this spectacular property. If you want to head north across the border, give us a call.
