Description

Extraordinary legacy property on one of the most coveted streets in Scarsdale. Set in the heart of Murray Hill estates, this 1.25 acre unrivaled brick Georgian Colonial was originally designed and built by the distinguished Walter Collet, boasting masterful craftsmanship, exquisite millwork, slate roof, grand proportions, and an ideal layout for both grand entertainment and quiet enjoyment. The majestic grounds and stately circular driveway lead to a breathtaking entry hall and sweeping curved staircase with access and views to the magnificent backyard oasis. To the right, discover an elegant formal living room with detailed moldings and a handsome wood burning fireplace, and a wood paneled library/billiards room and a second wood burning fireplace with french doors to the backyard. To the left, the baronial dining room is adorned with a magnificent hand painted wall mural and leads to a fully outfitted butler’s pantry, gourmet chef’s kitchen with a large center island, vast custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances, a sun-filled breakfast room overlooking the spectacular lush grounds, and a massive family room with soaring ceilings and french doors to the backyard ideal for al fresco dining. The first floor also has a convenient mudroom, 2 powder rooms, and en suite bedroom perfect for guests. Ascend the front or back staircase to arrive at the second floor anchored by a showstopping owner’s suite with a sitting room, dressing room, office/exercise room with a sauna, two outfitted walk-in cedar closets, and a spa-like bath with a separate soaking tub. There are four secondary bedrooms and three full baths and the lower level includes a large recreation room with a third fireplace, superb storage, and a 3-car garage. Perhaps most noteworthy about the estate is its remarkably large and idyllic 1.25 acre park-like property, with outstanding mature landscaping and specimen plantings, sprawling lawns, and a gunite pool with bluestone patio and cabana. Located minutes from Scarsdale’s award-winning schools, restaurants, shopping, world class golf courses, the Metro North station, and local highways and parkways, 8 Cooper Road offers the very finest in convenience and luxury.
