8 Coventry Court, Purchase, NY, 10577 | $3,295,000

Fabulous sophisticated, modern country retreat located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Purchase and sitting on 2+ acres of verdant, beautifully landscaped property with inviting brick patios, replete with a pool. 8 Coventry Court beckons its guests into a generous courtyard anchored in the center by a specimen Japanese Maple. The combination of low, exterior roof lines and soaring interior ceilings render this home one of unusual distinction for a buyer with discerning taste. Step into an inviting entry hall and float to the sunken and extraordinary Great Room ideal for hosting elegant soirees, surrounded by oversized windows that capture gorgeous grounds, capped by a 14' ceiling and punctuated by a fireplace plus floor-to-ceiling bookcases that frame French Doors to a stunning backyard oasis. This breath-taking room drew the original owner, Senator Ogden Reid, where he entertained numerous dignitaries, and where the tradition continued under subsequent stewardship. The octagonal family room is equally striking with its brick floor underfoot, oversized fireplace and French doors to the outdoors. The very large kitchen and island accommodate copious cabinets suitable for entertaining on a grand scale or dining intimately with family in the generous breakfast area. The kitchen offers its own entrance off the courtyard and includes a separate wing with a guest or maid's room, laundry room and full bath. The first floor also includes a magnificent, custom designed, paneled office and library with a fireplace of its own and a second, white paneled office both serviced by a full hall bath, all off the entry hall. Retreat to the primary suite and discover a fourth fireplace, a sumptuous, marble bathroom and walk-in closet plus a second marble bathroom and dedicated walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and hall bath plus three more bedrooms and two full baths in a wing also accessed by a back staircase, complete the second floor. The magnificent grounds include striking outdoor sculptures, several, welcoming seating areas, lovingly curated landscape accents and a pool and spa. This quiet cul-de-sac is ideally located in the Hamlet of Purchase, across the street from Manhattanville College, 5 minutes from SUNY Purchase, 5 minutes to the Purchase Elementary School and Purchase Community House, minutes to the Hutchinson River Parkway and numerous country clubs and just 10 minutes to the Village of Rye or the bustling City of White Plains where many dining and shopping options await. A special opportunity such as this does not come along often!
