Mediterranean Estate w/ Mansion and Guest/Pool House on 2+ Acres

2 El Retiro Lane is a Mediterranean style estate in Irvington, NY set on 2+ level acres with a separate guest house and pool house. Originally built in 1912, the entire estate has been extensively renovated and restored to an exquisite level of original detail coupled with state-of-the art conveniences befitting a modern estate. Unoccupied since the restoration, the new owners will enjoy being the first residents of this magnificent home. Perhaps the most unique, modern feature of this estate is its heating and cooling systems, which utilize Co-Generation, Geo-thermal, and Solar Technology, making the estate's energy usage almost completely passive and carbon neutral. The 11,357 sq ft mansion has 7 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths with a connected 3 car garage. The newly restored 1912 architectural details include period stained glass windows, French doors, Juliette balconies, patios, 7 intricately carved fireplaces, custom crown and base molding, a striking terracotta roof, and a bluestone terrace that surrounds the entire house. Each room on the first floor has vaulted ceilings that span as high as 14 feet. The main entrance boasts a grand marble entry foyer with a curved staircase, balustrade, and original chandeliers next to a formal living room framed by two carved marble pillars and an ornate limestone fireplace. Beyond the formal living room is a private sitting alcove and banquette size formal dining room surrounded by Palladian windows. The sunlit, eat-in kitchen includes professional appliances comprised of a double stove, 9' granite prep counter with seating, ample cabinets and storage, and custom lighting. The kitchen expands into an open, multi-use family room enveloped in light by floor to ceiling Palladian windows and doors with views of the flat lawn and bluestone patio with outdoor fireplace. Enjoy the convenience of the elevator for easy access to the ground level, first floor and second floor. Upstairs on the second floor, the master suite is complete with a fireplace, two large walk-in closets, a bright sitting room, and a luxurious master bath with two sinks, soaking tub, standing shower, and a fireplace. Also on the second floor are three additional bedrooms, 2 of which have en-suite baths, and 1 hall bathroom. The third floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and large open spaces that could be used to accommodate an office, yoga studio, or playroom. The finished lower level has radiant floor heating, a bedroom, bathroom, and multiple rooms that could be used as a media room, wine cellar, playroom, bedroom, office, etc. The heated three car garage is accessible through the lower level and the elevator. The estate also has a newly renovated 3,000 sq ft, 3-bed, 3-bath guest house with an additional 2 car garage. The guest house was renovated in the same exterior style as the mansion with a classic stucco exterior, graceful archways and red clay tile roof. The living space features a fireplace, skylights, and an open modern kitchen and living room that leads directly into the 2,000 sq ft pool house. The guest house is separately metered for electricity and gas, and is legally multi-residence, therefore the guest house can be rented or occupied to accommodate guests or family. The pool house creates a spa-like retreat that includes an indoor heated pool with diving board, sauna, and full bath. The pool is surrounded by glass walls, skylights, and French doors. This spectacular cloistered setting also includes a private, multi-tiered deck directly outside the pool area. The guest house and the pool are also heated with the ultra-efficient Co-Gen system. Located just 19 miles north of Manhattan, the estate is conveniently located less than one mile from the MTA Irvington station and a 38-minute train commute to Grand Central. The property includes a private entry to the historic Old Croton Aqueduct Trail and is steps away from Memorial Park.
