MAISON MODERNE Old Westbury, New York
Maison Moderne is the perfect realization of modern and classic as conceived by its renowned architect. The re-imagined French-chateau inspired stone exterior with mansard roof and the stunning, highstyle, high-function interior create an exceptionally seamless blend of style and function. The estate driveway winds to a remarkable, first-class reveal, an imposing stone and stucco masterpiece with specimen plantings. The double mahogany doors open to wide-board oak flooring, lit by a hand-crafted statement chandelier in the 20-foot soaring, barrel vaulted ceiling. The space is punctuated by the Art Deco-inspired bannister.
The center hall opens to the impressive living room where no detail is overlooked: the ceiling is box paneled and light pours in from the wide, molding-trimmed doorways from the dazzling mirrored pillars in the hallway. The sitting room offers double French doors opening to the spacious flagstone terrace with an outdoor kitchen and expansive views of the 4.33 acre property with pool and tennis court. The coffered ceiling and gas fireplace with full-wall mother of pearl surround add warmth and detail to this superior space. The sitting room flows to the 5-star gourmet kitchen with custom glass-front refrigerator and statuary marble center island with double steel sinks. A spacious, three-window bay with cushioned seating make this a convenient and welcoming space. An 8-burner Wolf stove with pot filler, built-in wall ovens and striking custom cabinetry with a classic built-in breakfront and a full butler’s pantry with wine refrigerator and wet bar, drawer dishwasher, and copper sink with smoky glass backsplash complete the space.
The banquet-sized dining room, itself a work of art, features a gold leaf ceiling with gold leaf fireplace surround that reflects the light of the modern, double chrome chandelier and chocolate wall paneling add depth and character. The barrel-vaulted ceiling and box panels and niche, balcony views in the Family Den draw the light in to this chic, youthful space with computer stations and highlighted by the deco vibe in the Stark stairway carpeting leading to the guest suite with full bath and walk-in closets. The ultimate entertainment room includes a wine cellar and bar, flat screen television and French doors to the terrace.
A half-stair way leads to the private, paneled foyer of the impeccable Master Suite. Double mahogany doors open to this stunning oasis, with a modern crystal and Edison bulb chandelier, sitting niche with French doors and 2 dressing rooms. The marble spa bathroom with double marble waterfall sinks and sleek chrome detailing includes an oversized glazed shower with body sprayers and a marble bench. A marble soaker tub on custom floral tile floor next to a marble gray and white accent wall gives texture and style to this unique space, with a private water closet. A sitting room or office with half bath and private entrance complete this sumptuous suite.
Each of the 5 additional bedrooms has its own magical character, with such individual details as spacious walk-in closets, marble and crystal linear tiling and vaulted ceiling or honeycomb marble, or gray and marble subway tiling, built-in bunks and a Juliet balcony. This floor features a chalkboard wall playroom complete with large screen TV.
The lower level opens to an elegant, spacious mudroom and grants access to the attached 3-bay garage. A casual sitting room leads to an arcade space and - whoosh - down the built-in slide to a child’s playroom paradise! A three-story climbing structure with rubber flooring will fill hours of safe fun and a built-in playhouse under the staircase adds to this world of make believe. From the children’s space to the grown ups: this area of the lower level features porcelain tile flooring and a rustic, 200-bottle wine tasting room. An exercise room, laundry room and a maid’s room with an en suite bathroom and it’s own entrance completes the space. With over 4 flat manicured acres and boasting bluestone walkways, a gleaming gunite pool with waterfall, outdoor grill with granite counters, refrigerator and ice maker, a firepit, and a tennis court, Maison Moderne - is paradise realized.
