What's special
Nestled within the serene and secluded enclave of Hilltop Place in Rye, stands a magnificent property once the country retreat of Andrew Goodman, the former owner of Bergdorf Goodman. A true embodiment of 1920s elegance, this captivating Colonial masterpiece is a harmonious blend of classic charm and modern luxury, in a fully fenced and gated, completely private setting. The 9000+sq ft Main House, set on a 2.6-acre lot and bordering the prestigious Apawamis Country Club golf course, exudes a vibrancy that defies its 100-year history. The estate underwent a meticulous, to-the-studs renovation and expansion in the late 1990s and has since been thoughtfully reimagined and upgraded by its current owners. Every contemporary convenience has been seamlessly integrated into the space while preserving the original architectural splendor. The combination of breathtaking formal gardens, a splendid in-ground pool accompanied by a stunning 1000+sq ft Pool House, an illuminated tennis court, a bocce ball court, expansive lawns, and 800+sq ft Guest House creates a stunning fusion of heritage and contemporary style. Located less than 30 miles from Manhattan, this extraordinary estate offers a tranquil retreat with unparalleled sophistication.
