1619 Purchase Street

Introducing one of New York's most prestigious estates: a rare opportunity to own a historic piece of history elegantly nestled atop 11+ park-like acres in Purchase. This illustrious and stately turn-of-the-century residence, was the setting for the blockbuster film "Goodbye Columbus." A quiet country manor that's exceptionally private and secure, the estate is a stunning work of art, beautifully situated behind a gated entry at the end of a long, meandering driveway. The property boasts acres of lush rolling lawns adorned with over 35 years of seasonal perennials in year-round bloom, a glorious fenced saltwater pool and patio, multiple-hole practice golf green, zen-like meditation garden, and a one-acre freshwater pond with koi and carp. Encircling the property is a half mile jogging path with a grove of weeping willows, a spectacular oasis of hydrangeas, indigenous stone walls, a shady gazebo, and a charming life-size dollhouse. Inside, the home is breathtaking, with 11,792 sq ft of custom-crafted beauty featuring 7 bedrooms, 6.4 bathrooms, and 3 offices spread over three sunlit floors. Every room offers blissful garden views with the home's elevated position, from the grand full-length entrance hall to the dual living rooms, one of which opens to a postcard-perfect covered veranda. The refined formal dining room can seat a dinner party for 80. The exceptional kitchen includes two La Cornue ranges, a hammered copper and wood island, a sunlit breakfast area, and an adjacent family room, both opening to the patio. The primary suite exudes elegance with two luxurious ensuites, two walk-in closets, and two private balconies. This home offers endless highlights, including a sprawling third-floor playroom, two saunas, a fabulous mudroom opening to the attached 2-car garage and separate golf cart garage (with a Club Car included in the sale), and a picturesque detached 4-car garage with a carport. A new realm of luxury awaits just a short drive to Rye's vibrant town center, 15 minutes to Westchester County Airport and only 35 minutes from NYC.
