Upon entering Tuxedo Park and driving past its historic stone gatehouse and original architectural splendor, one drives around Tuxedo Lake and over a stone bridge with a babbling brook to arrive at Brook Farm. About 55 minutes to Manhattan and on the train line!
Brook Farm is an ultra-luxurious, tranquil estate on six acres combining minimalist style and elegance with the serene aesthetic of an international retreat, with a Japanese edge to its design. It's old-world history, but new world technology and design, which contributes to the awesome vibe it offers the minute you step foot on the property. The structure is about 8,250sf finished living space. The interior is a rich blend of glass, steel, industrial strength wood, concrete, brick, and early 19th Century Beaux Art style metal doors from the Germania Bank building in lower Manhattan, constructed during the gilded age. In addition, the open kitchen offers Italian lacquered cabinetry, induction cook top and gas, 2 convection ovens, steam oven, warming tray, vast amount of storage and work space, all Gaggenau appliances, and separate catering workspace can open or close from the main kitchen area. From the famed Hope's Windows, outstanding industrial quality steel windows and doors that open to the outdoors and bring light and the landscape indoors.
Architectural features include 11 and 12 ft ceilings, archways, transom windows above select door, beautiful cabinetry and vanities, modern fireplace mantels which speak to the past and more. There is a geometry with the design of the house: patterns in the flooring and shapes in the rooms; 8 zone heating and cooling; and radiant heat in several baths. Nest App controls, some automatic shades/curtains (electric at most windows; easy to install more), James brand speakers in major rooms. Saltwater pool and spa. Tennis court. Football/soccer field.
