Description:

On the market for the first time in 50 years. Set on 18.6 acres surrounded by the historic Rokeby Estate (300 acres of land, forever conserved free from development, by descendants of the Astor family), this midcentury home offers the perfect getaway. Approach the home via a long driveway that winds through rolling hills and open fields past a large fishing pond. The rear of the property is lightly wooded providing enduring views of neighboring pastures. The home has over 3,300 square feet of living space and offers an open floor plan that flows seamlessly from the library through the living room and into the dining area. The living room and library boast soaring ceilings and share a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Sliding doors line the rear wall of each room where they open to a generous wraparound deck and also serve to flood the space with light. In addition, there is 440 square feet of lofted space accessed from the dining area.
