About 120 Scarborough Road
Steeped in history and timeless elegance, this stately Southern Colonial presides over nearly 3 private acres in the estate area of Briarcliff Manor, offering the rare combination of architectural pedigree and modern livability.
Built in 1900 by village founder Walter Law for his daughter and inspired by George Washington's Mount Vernon, the residence makes an unforgettable first impression with its sweeping six-column front porch, cedar shake roof, copper gutters, classic fencing, and beautifully landscaped grounds.
Inside, period craftsmanship underscores the home's historic character, including original paneled pocket doors, extensive millwork, handcrafted moldings, three-quarter-height wood paneling, a dramatic main staircase, transoms, marble bathrooms, and 4 wood-burning fireplaces.
The double-door entry opens to a gracious foyer and grand staircase, setting a formal yet inviting tone. The living room, with fireplace and latticed doors, flows into a sunroom ideal for an office or reading room, while the formal dining room features its own fireplace and rich wood paneling.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the freshly renovated butler's pantry/bar connects the dining room to the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring custom handmade Bilotta cabinetry, expansive white marble countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele.
The kitchen opens to a sun-drenched great room with a soaring cathedral ceiling, stone fireplace, oversized Palladian windows, and French doors leading to a terrace and perennial gardens. A secondary staircase off the kitchen provides easy access to the upper levels.
The private quarters offer exceptional space and flexibility, with six bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths. The newly imagined primary suite occupies its own wing and includes a bright, spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, steam shower, two custom Bilotta vanities, a separate water closet, and two walk-in closets.
Outdoor terraces, landscaped perennial gardens, and a tucked-away fire pit create a serene setting for entertaining, with ample room for a future pool and tennis court. Above the detached three-car garage, finished space offers flexibility as a home office, studio, gym, or guest quarters.
Modern comforts include central air conditioning, a whole-house generator, security system, Sonos sound system, lawn irrigation, EV charging capability, newly epoxied garage floors, all-new garage doors, and updated mechanical systems. The property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle.
Conveniently located near Briarcliff Manor's schools, Metro-North train station, village center, hiking and biking trails, golf courses, and the Hudson River, this exceptional estate blends historic distinction with modern comfort in one of the village's most desirable settings.
