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.

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.

From the main staircase, the second level arrives at a corridor that overlooks the foyer and leads to a sitting room landing.
