14 Salem Hill Rd

Serenely sited on 11.96 acres (which includes a separate vacant parcel) along a quiet cul-de-sac, this masterfully updated Colonial offers something increasingly rare: the unhurried rhythms of genuine country living, minutes from everything that makes South Salem one of Westchester's most cherished hamlets. Horses graze in the bucolic fields beyond, while the community's historic heart-which includes the storied Horse and Hound, the library, and the post office are in close proximity.

Inside, the light-filled four-bedroom home strikes a perfect balance between grandeur and warmth. Exquisite custom millwork sets the tone throughout; from built-in cabinetry and crown moldings to pocket doors and graceful arched doorways, each detail a testament to the home's exceptional craftsmanship.

The first floor unfolds from a gracious entry hall, with every room's windows framing views of white pine groves, the heated pool and spa, or Echo Farm in the distance. The formal living room with wood burning fireplace and the three-exposure great room are perfectly poised to host lively gatherings as well as quiet evenings in. The dining room seats twelve with ease, and a beautifully appointed marble bath is conveniently located off the front hallway.

At the heart of the home, a stunning chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, granite countertops and a fireside seating area. A breakfast room, butler's pantry, and flexible home office or homework space extend the flow, alongside a sunny family foyer with built-in storage, a generous laundry room, and an attached two-car garage.

Upstairs, three family bedrooms, a hallway bath and a flex storage room (potential additional bath) share the floor with a primary suite that is genuinely surprising in its scope. From the bedroom with fireplace, new bath, dressing area and walk-in closets, French doors open to a private sanctuary—a spectacular, light-flooded office and gym with views in every direction.

The grounds are as compelling as the home itself. Two landscaped acres of level lawns feature stately specimen trees, curated garden beds, and a stone terrace centered on the heated pool and spa. The remaining nine acres of woodlands offer a true sense of seclusion and endless opportunity for outdoor exploration.

The mechanical systems and a wine cooler can be found in the unfinished basement. Household updates include: whole-house generator, roof, cedar siding, insulation, bathrooms, Marvin true-divided-light windows, indoor oil tanks, Ring security camera system and fresh interior paint throughout.
