This classic brick colonial home is located on two uniquely picturesque acres on a quiet cul-de-sac in Old Westbury (the famed Jericho School District) surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. This land was formerly part of the famed Whitney Estate. This elegant home has amazing potential, and the irreplaceable land value alone more than justifies the asking price. A private drive leads to a circular driveway surrounded by delightful flowers and greenery. Wrought iron gates with a European flair guard the double door entry to the slate floor foyer featuring a large guest closet and powder room. On your right, a formal living room with hardwood floors, a charming brick wall with a wood burning fireplace, sliding glass doors to the beautiful exterior and floor to ceiling windows looking out to the front courtyard. Next, a vaulted ceiling family room with a lovely stone wall and a second wood burning fireplace. Then, a comfortable den or home office. Take the central hallway to the formal dining room, also with hardwood floors, crown mouldings and floor to ceiling windows; all large gracious rooms. In the rear of the home, there is a spacious country kitchen with a breakfast banquette. Off the kitchen, a laundry room, mud room, nanny's room and bath, with access to the exterior and directly to a large two car garage. The upstairs sleeping quarters feature a generous master bedroom with an en suite master bath and three additional large bedrooms, each with a scenic view, and an additional full bath. There is a full basement with high ceilings, where you will also find a wine cellar, storage area and work bench. Other features of this very special home include two zone oil/hot water heating, accessible attic and central air conditioning. This home has been lived in and loved by the same respected family for more than 45 years. It is a stately jewel which needs only some polishing, and personalizing to make it your dream home. It has an incredible advantage: it is situated in an exquisite location on very valuable land, and there is much to be enjoyed, gained and appreciated by a full life in this private residence. There is one extra ordinary feature - virtually a gift from the Whitneys: the former ice house of the Whitney Estate has been retained as a circular shed with attic windows and sits to the side, off the front entrance, surrounded by the season's brightest flowers.
