ROUND HILL OLD WESTBURY, NEW YORK
PROPERTY AND RESIDENCE
Approached by a gated curvilinear drive with layers of lovely flowering plantings and specimen trees, this 3.2-acre estate culminates in a residence that cohesively honors design elements that make a modern home timeless. Round Hill has a beauty and sophistication that places emphasis on the enjoyment of indoor-outdoor living. Completed in 1999, the residence has an open and flexible floor plan. Clean lines, oversized windows and glass doors that invite natural light and views of the gardens, masterfully executed custom built-ins and cabinetry, outdoor balconies and exquisite materials create an oasis of luxury in a delightful landscaped setting.
The façade of the residence is an asymmetric arrangement of dynamic geometric shapes, roof lines with various elevations and a stone foundation wall that visually and organically connects the residence to its lush landscaped surround. The forecourt with ample parking complements the home and welcomes visitors for arrival. An inviting glass covered walkway of crab orchard stone leads to the front entry and impressive foyer. The foyer’s attractive slate floor has comfortable radiant heat. A wide staircase with a clear tempered glass railing glows with illuminated lighting on each polished wooden tread. The foyer is open to the voluminous formal living room that features a gleaming teak floor. Oversized picture windows and glasspaned doors seamlessly frame views of a canopy of trees, a crab orchard stone patio and steps that lead to the sparkling heated swimming pool, spa and surrounding gardens. The living room ceiling soars to 22 feet. There is a three-sided gas fireplace and a curved wet bar with a black granite top. Large in scale, the room has many possibilities for seating groupings. Frosted glass display shelves create a see-through wall to the formal dining room which features exquisite marquetry artwork with a tree motif and a wall of storage. An oversized glass door opens to the expansive patio featuring flying buttress-like columns. Linked at the top by tempered glass, they create a fabulous see-through awning for the entertainer’s patio. Pipe railings on the exterior contrast with clear tempered glass railings inside.
The kitchen complex has a European aesthetic. There is vast custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, large picture windows and top-of-the-line appliances that include Gaggenau ovens, a tremendous Viking cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigeration and freezer. There is a mudroom with storage, and a wall of built-in cabinetry and open shelves separates the kitchen from the den. The den has a gas fireplace. Terra cotta tile with radiant heated floors run throughout these rooms. Adjacent to the entry foyer, a wall of frosted glass with doors opens to two comfortable bedrooms with built-in cabinetry, en-suite baths and a balcony overlooking the swimming pool.
The second level arrives at the sumptuous master suite that features a gas fireplace, built-in clear maple cabinetry, a balcony overlooking the swimming pool, a spacious dressing room closet with fittings and a European-styled en suite bath with white cabinetry, a jacuzzi, shower and two sinks. There is radiant heat throughout the master suite. A circular stair rises from the master bedroom and arrives at a study with a built-in desk, shelves and cabinetry. Glass doors open to a balcony overlooking the gardens. A bridge hallway, with a tempered glass railing and a series of oversized picture windows, leads to two additional restful bedrooms. Each bedroom has an en suite bath and built-in cabinetry with desks. There is a recreation room with built-in cabinetry and access to a spacious balcony
