L I LY P O N D O L D W E S T B U R Y, N E W Y O R K

The Incorporated Village of Old Westbury is located on the North Shore of Long Island just 25 miles east of Manhattan. With wonderful resources nearby such as the historic Old Westbury Gardens, fine dining and shopping, Old Westbury offers a luxurious lifestyle.

A curvilinear drive graced by specimen trees arrives at an impeccably manicured courtyard that welcomes arrival to the luxurious five-bedroom modern Colonial residence. Designed and constructed by Kean Development in 2018, it is a custom-built masterpiece that has been beautifully sited on 4.92 lush acres. Lily Pond reflects a modern, gracious and elegant style that incorporates today’s finest luxurious amenities and smart technologies. A pond with a recirculating stream and waterfall surrounded by flowering perennials is a delightful focal point of the gardens. A covered patio with a built-in summer kitchen is the perfect setting for al fresco dining. It opens to an expansive outdoor living and entertaining terrace and broad green lawns. A one-bedroom cottage sits adjacent to the main residence, and a perimeter of mature trees and plantings provides seclusion and serenity to the property.

With beautiful symmetry and scale, this residence is composed of elements that are all at once timeless, modern and classic. The painted white brick façade is complemented by varying roof lines, stately brick chimneys with custom caps, attractive dormers, large groupings of ebony divided-light windows and deep eaves that add interest to the architectural design. The welcoming portico and painted African mahogany front door with glass sidelights opens to an impressive two-story foyer. Cohesive warmth and texture is added to the design with rift and quartered select white oak flooring in a herringbone pattern throughout the first level. A graceful staircase with graduated treads, custom steel clear lacquered balusters and a white oak handrail sweeps to the second level.

The light-filled foyer opens to interiors with tasteful and stylish finishes and masterfully executed details that culminate in clean and sophisticated design. Window and French door frames and mullions are painted black. Their grid-like pattern has a modern sensibility, and they offer unobstructed views of the lush green gardens that gently slope to the pond’s edge.

The formal living room is anchored by a handsome gasfueled fireplace with a Nero Marquina black Italian marble surround flanked by two sets of French doors that open to the gardens. The serene living room flows into a barroom with a sleak Nero Marquina marble topped bar with seating and built-in cabinetry that is wonderful for entertaining.

The formal dining room overlooks the front courtyard through a large bay window. Refined moldings, a tray ceiling with a delicate gold leaf embellishment, custom de Gournay wall coverings and built-in cabinetry create an elegant space for gatherings and celebrations. A hidden door opens to a convenient butler’s pantry with glassfront black lacquered cabinetry, white marble countertops and wine refrigeration. Two sets of French doors open to the covered dining patio with a well-equipped summer kitchen featuring a built-in Lynx professional grill and refrigerator. With a vaulted ceiling that adds volume to the space, the heart of the residence is the expansive kitchen and family room complex that are a wing unto themselves.

Bosch, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances are integrated into clean-lined custom kitchen cabinetry. Luxurious slabs of Italian Calacatta marble line the countertops, statement island with seating and backsplash with open shelving.

The showstopper kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room where a wood-burning fireplace has a Nero Marquina black Italian marble surround. French doors open to the terrace and garden. An informal dining room overlooking the gardens is exquisite in its simple design.

There is a pantry with ample storage, a mudroom with built-in cabinetry and radiant heated floor and a powder room. At the opposite end of the residence a handsome office features a coffered ceiling, a wood burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling display shelves and cabinetry.

Masterful engineering adds to the luxurious comfort and efficiency of this property. The residence has a three-car attached garage with radiant heat. There is landscape lighting, security and irrigation systems and a permanent full house generator. Seven zones of hydronic forced air heating and cooling are obtained from an efficient geothermal system. There is steam humidification for the HVAC system and a water purification system. Vantage and Control4 luxury smart technology systems control the climate, LED light and media systems including a fifteen-zone sound system inside and outside with invisible speakers in the kitchen, family room and primary suite. There is an elevator that travels to all three levels. Energy efficient materials and systems ensure year-round comfort and low maintenance. Magnificent fixtures, hardware, sconces and chandeliers are among the luxurious finishes that add to the classic style and luxurious modern sophistication this residence and property offer.

From the main staircase, the second level arrives at a corridor that overlooks the foyer and leads to a sitting room landing. Wide plank rift and quartered select oak flooring runs throughout this level. Pocket doors open to an office with a built-in desk and cabinetry.

There are three restful guest bedrooms on this level, one of which is currently in use as a playroom. The third level, with unfinished storage space, can be reached by a stairway.

The sumptuous primary suite has a comfortable sitting room featuring a double-sided gas fireplace. The bedroom has a grand double-height vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. Convenient custom Lutron electronic blackout shades ensure darkness in both the bedroom and sitting room. Spacious separate dressing rooms feature custom fittings and elegant cabinetry. A sublime spa-inspired en suite bath is comprised of luxurious slabs of Calacatta marble.

There is radiant heat, a floating marble double sink vanity, a Hydrosystem Metro Collection deep soaking spa tub set beneath a bay window and an oversized marble steam shower with multiple shower heads.

The lower level has elevated ceilings throughout. An entertaining area includes a glass-enclosed climate-controlled wine cellar. Pocket doors open to a spacious sports bar with a tray ceiling, a billiard area, banquette seating and a playing card room. A beautifully crafted walnut bar with seating features honed slate and a dual beer tap system. Wellness areas include a fitness room and a fabulous swimming pool room featuring a saltwater swimming pool with an Endless Pool resistance system, lighting, surround sound and a retractable electronic pool cover. Attractive geometric tiles surround the pool, and there is a sitting area built into a spacious nook.

The lower level is completed by a playroom, a powder room, a bedroom with an en suite bath, storage areas, a laundry room with dual clothes washers and dryers and a dog spa.
