Among the area’s highest homes, the property offers views of Bowman’s Tower and Jericho Mountain from the front portico and Solebury Mountain from the backyard. Built by renowned builder Al DeLuca and inspired by Carter’s Grove, this exceptional estate was completed over two years and received a Colonial Williamsburg Architectural Award in 1991. A governor’s driveway, formal gardens, paver walkways, and three front porticos create an impressive approach to the home. Inside, the residence offers more than 11,000 square feet of carefully designed living space, with 10-foot ceilings on the main level, custom millwork, built-ins, Brazilian cherry and mahogany flooring, and abundant natural light. The grand foyer features imported Italian marble floors and a striking harp-shaped floating staircase with hand-crafted spindles.

The butler’s pantry includes custom cabinetry, a sink, and dishwasher. The chef-inspired kitchen is appointed with solid-cherry Rutt cabinetry, an oversized center island, stainless-steel appliances, double wall ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

Four additional bedrooms, including a hobby/playroom, are located on the second floor. Two bedrooms share a bath, while the remaining two are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The third floor offers a large open flex space with a full bath, well suited for a media room, game room, studio, or additional living area. Additional features include individual room temperature controls, six heat pumps with four oil furnaces as backup, an unfinished lower level with expansion potential, and a finished, heated three-bay side-entry garage.
