Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a five-bedroom, four-bathroom architectural showplace featuring a sun-splashed single-level layout and room to grow on a 1.6-acre private poolside oasis in Scarsdale's desirable Heathcote estate district. Designed and built in 1950 by Edgar Tafel, Frank Lloyd Wright's long-time apprentice and protege, this midcentury modern masterpiece welcomes you inside with a gracious foyer including the natural materials — swaths of wood, stone tile and brick — integral to Wright’s iconic style. Ahead, a sun-splashed living room invites you to relax and entertain alongside a gorgeous brick fireplace and walls of windows framing wooded views. A cozy alcove wrapped in windows is perfect as a media lounge or reading nook. Across the living space, a large dining area features handsome built-ins and direct access to the spacious kitchen. Chefs will enjoy generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, leafy vistas, and a large breakfast nook. Past the kitchen, a utility area leads to the terracotta family room wrapped in oversized closets. Imagine the space as a rec room, playroom, fitness space or all of the above. Head to the beautifully arranged bedroom wing to find an expansive primary suite that opens to its own patio area overlooking the pool. The king-size primary bedroom is joined by an extra-large, custom walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with a large tub/shower, double vanity and linen storage. Three spacious and bright secondary bedrooms with roomy closets share two more full bathrooms in this wing, while an oversized walk-in hall closet ensures storage will never be a concern. Off the family room, another bedroom and full bathroom are perfect for guests. Throughout the main-level living spaces, you’re tempted outside by a series of patios perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining overlooking lush lawns, planter beds and towering trees. The 44-foot-by-22-foot swimming pool, surrounded by a wide sundeck, is the perfect destination on hot summer days. Located down a long driveway and positioned alongside a greenbelt, the entire park-like property enjoys exceptional privacy and seclusion. A long driveway, motor court and attached two-car garage add plenty of off-street parking to this special home. Put your personal touch on this rare architectural gem and enjoy significant expansion potential in one of Scarsdale’s most coveted neighborhoods. While it feels worlds away, this Heathcote home is surrounded by country clubs, houses of worship, top-rated schools, and excellent shopping. Parkways and Metro-North trains provide easy access to New York City and beyond.
