About This Home
Some homes are built. This one was sculpted. Elevated above the Mianus River, this turnkey four bedroom home is where extraordinary grounds meet a reimagined interior. Year-round water views, stone terraces, garden paths, stone gazebo and lookout points make a private European escape in Cos Cob. Once home of the head designer of New York Botanical Garden, the property's fieldstone walls, gardens and outdoor rooms were shaped with an artist's eye. Over the past three years, the interiors have been completely renovated with the same attention and beauty, craftsmanship and detail. A walkout entertainment room with wet bar and fireplace sets the tone. Elegant living/dining flow past a glass-enclosed wine display to an oversized chef's kitchen overlooking the river, featuring high-end appliances, custom finishes with a window seat for morning coffee. An expansive primary suite, generous en-suite bedrooms and a top-level retreat while flexible spaces accommodate guests, work and play. Outside, two stone patios, a covered grotto with fireplace, garden shed and hillside stone tower invite quiet mornings and unforgettable evenings. Walk to schools, a neighborhood deli and wine shop, with two public boat launches across the street and train stations minutes away. A rare combination of design, nature and access to NYC, this is not simply a house you see. It is one you feel.
