Elegance and architectural integrity define this welcoming 19th-century farmhouse. Originally built as a gardener's cottage for the historic Jay family, Lyon Farm was thoughtfully restored and expanded by the current owners.
The setting is remarkable, with beautifully landscaped gardens, a fruit orchard, and expansive grounds designed for both leisure and beauty. A very private heated pool, tennis court, and separate pool/guest house with its own access complete the picture of a true country estate.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood every room with natural light. The gracious living room is large enough to accommodate a grand piano, the library has an inviting wood-burning fireplace, and the dining room boasts another. At the heart of the house, the sun-filled country cook's kitchen anchors the public spaces and opens to the terrace, perfect for entertaining indoors or out.
In the tradition of classic houses, all four second-floor bedrooms are positioned in corners with two walls of light. Three enjoy ensuite baths, while the fourth shares a hall bath. The third floor offers a beamed playroom/media room, an additional bedroom, half bath, exercise space, and storage. The walk-out lower level includes a studio ideal for artistic pursuits.
Perfectly situated near Katonah, Caramoor, the John Jay Homestead, schools, and trains, this is a rare offering where history, style, and comfort meet.
