A real ‘foodie’ town, Armonk has plenty of places to wine and dine, while the house is also within walking distance of one of Westchester’s finest country clubs and golf courses, the Whippoorwill Club. This is a 500-acre estate occupying one of the highest points in the towns of New Castle and North Castle, the most exclusive parts of Westchester.
The Art Lux Home, a four-storey house built into the natural rock in order to preserve the site’s natural beauty, has lake views throughout. The detailing includes blue stonework, a copper-front arched roof, stained cedar siding and a patio with built-in barbecue, cropped into the rock and overlooking the lake.
Inside, the floating staircase of cherry wood was handmade by craftsmen at the site, and the large windows throughout the home capture the natural light, the view of the stars, the sunset, the sunrise, falling leaves, winter snow, spring flowers and summer swims.
The luxury of the home is continued in its open floor plans, its high ceilings (up to 30 feet), the multi-decks and patios with treetop views, the natural rock cropping and lake escapes in its own back yard. Or is it in the chief kitchen, the tiger wood engineered floors, the marble, the California closets and the radiant heating in the kitchen, family room, basements, five bathrooms and two powder rooms? The Art Lux home has it all: luxury, the beauty of nature, the water and the location… all fashioned into one work of living art.
