Carmel, NY 10512

This extraordinary residence was designed and built by its current owner—a master architect who crafted the home for his very own family. A true labor of love, this property reflects a rare blend of vision, design excellence, and functionality. After many years of creating and enjoying a private family oasis, the time has come to pass the keys to a fortunate new owner who will fully appreciate the craftsmanship and thoughtful intention behind every inch of this remarkable home. Detailed beyond measure and finished to the highest standards, this home has been meticulously cared for throughout. Words alone cannot fully capture the sense of solitude and peace you will experience here—but every feature tells part of the story. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no drive-through traffic, the property sits majestically on 1.68 acres of immaculate grounds. A long driveway leads past striking rock croppings to a true car enthusiast’s dream: a three-car garage with a lift and soaring 14-foot ceilings, plus an attached two-car garage and a separate detached two-car garage with attic loft designed for future recreation or living space—offering parking for up to six vehicles and ideal for collectors of antique, vintage, or sports cars. Owners have added Andersen French doors valued at $25,000, and a new Trex deck with under-cover protection overlooks the patio below, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The finished walk-out basement is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a full bathroom, home theatre, full wet bar, and Murphy bed, all with direct access to the pool area. A fully integrated audio system provides surround sound throughout the basement, connected to all TV stations. Step outside to your private retreat featuring a 20x40 heated in-ground pool, pool house, and pavilion. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with an Italian-made grill, wood-burning pizza oven, and utility sink with hot and cold running water—perfect for entertaining. Exceptional upgrades include a newly installed heating system, 3-zone central air conditioning, 4-zone hot water heating, and a hot water circulating system for instant hot water at every faucet and shower. A multi-zone WiFi system provides seamless connectivity throughout the entire home and property. Additional features include Carrier AC compressors, a water softener, retractable awnings, and a 50-year GAF roof installed in 2025. Safety and reliability are ensured with a hardwired surveillance system, central security and fire alarm, carbon monoxide detection, new fiberglass oil tanks installed in 2024, and an automatic LP whole-house generator. The chef’s kitchen features a Thermador 6-burner gas cooktop, double wall oven, KitchenAid French door refrigerator with three drawers, and a three-drawer dishwasher. A two-sided gas fireplace connects the kitchen and family room, adding warmth and ambiance. A first-floor sunroom with two additional rooms and a full bathroom offers incredible flexibility for an in-law suite, additional bedrooms, or private office space. Additional highlights include garage access into the laundry room for convenience, two entry walk-in closets for coats and shoes, a primary suite with two walk-in closets, a princess suite with its own walk-in closet, and a shed on the property. Including the lower level, the home offers approximately 6,740 square feet of living space. Taxes are as follows: Town and County $7,133.68; School $18,125.64; Total $25,259.32. With STAR savings of $861, taxes are reduced to $24,398.32. This is more than a home—it is a lifestyle of tranquility, comfort, and thoughtful design, where sunrises and sunsets are included. Showings begin Friday, April 24, 2026—come quick, this won’t last!
