Sheer architectural brilliance and history lies within the walls of this intricately crafted wooden frame and stone masterpiece located in the town of Bronxville, NY. The residence, which is represented by Bronxville agent William Dowling, and offered at $5,695,000, was designed and constructed by renowned architect Lewis Bowman, who is long-considered to be the dean of Tudor Revival homes in America.
“This is the first time this house has come on the market in 23 years,” said Dowling. “I am thrilled to be representing this stunning piece of history in Bronxville Village.”
The estate, which is said to be one of Bowman’s favorite homes out of the 28 he designed throughout Bronxville, was built in 1928 by the award-winning architect during a thriving time in the town’s history. Bowman is also known for his design of “Old Mill Farm,” a stone manor Greenwich, Conn. estate that was previously owned by actor Mel Gibson, and marketed and sold by Sotheby’s International Realty.
The 4,684 square-foot home, which rests on one of the largest private estates in Bronxville, remains in top-notch condition due to the fine craftsmanship achieved by Bowman’s architectural expertise. A half-timbered style, which entails a mixture of wood framing and stone, as well as five chimneys grace the residence’s exterior with a distinct Tudor design.
The home’s distinguishing interior feature is its great room, which boasts a 16-foot ceiling and carved stone fireplace, designed after a medieval great hall. The house also has a formal dining room with windows overlooking the garden, a large eat-in kitchen with carved wood panels, as well as a lower level complete with a wine cellar, family room and fitness room. The residence contains five bedrooms and four baths.
