11 Carriage House Rd

Set at the tip of the Waccabuc Country Club and bordering the wildflower fields of a protected nature preserve, this enchanting Shingled Hampton-style home (built in 1940) is at once hidden, private, and extraordinary. Offering 5,644 sq. ft., the home currently lives as a 3-bedroom but can easily transform into a 4-bedroom layout. A curved formal entry with wood paneling, high ceilings, and brick floors opens into light-filled interiors with antique floorboards, plaster walls, and a distinctly West Coast sensibility. The first floor includes a serene primary or large guest suite with sitting room and spa-like bath featuring a copper soaking tub and hand-glazed tile. Down the hall, the entertaining side of the home unfolds: a white bespoke English kitchen with yard views and French doors opening to a bluestone patio perfect for grilling or dining al fresco; a wood-paneled dining room with fireplace and French doors to the terrace; and a step-down living room with soaring ceilings, light on both sides, and hand-carved beams that are both dramatic and warmly inviting. Upstairs, a second principal suite offers a spa-like bath with copper tub and private balcony, while a guest suite with endless preserve views connects via a curved staircase to a flexible loft retreat or gym. A full laundry room completes the second floor. The 4-acre property includes a round pool, ancient specimen trees, an enchanting two-bedroom guest cottage with kitchen and two & 1/2 baths, and a versatile barn that can be transformed into a gym, studio, or playroom. Designed for all four seasons, this dream home offers croquet on the lawn, summer evenings under the willows, snowy winter vistas, spring blossoms, and the ease of strolling to the Country Club for dinner. When you’re dreaming of a home, 11 Carriage House Road is the dream itself.
