West Hills, NY 11743 12 W Mall Drive

Uniquely beautiful and modestly aristocratic, this elegant turn-of-the-century farm ranch rests on 2 acres of rolling lawns and mature specimen trees. Built by Peabody, Wilson & Brown, this Gatsby-era home features twenty rooms, including 8 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, full attic and basement and an astounding amount of storage space. The home boasts hardwood floors throughout, a large eat-in kitchen with pantry closets, and a butler’s pantry for ease of entertaining. Bright and cheery, the gracious formal dining room with fireplace is built to impress, and the spacious living room boasts plenty of room for your friends and family to gather around a piano and a stunning hearth fireplace. The library is complete with its own fireplace and is the perfect spot to curl up and enjoy a good book while enjoying a view of the gardens through French doors or gazing onto a lovely columned porch. The primary suite consists of a second-floor windowed porch, completely tiled and overlooking pines and bluestone, a full bath, sitting/dressing area and an enormous primary bedroom complete with fireplace and imported Delft tiles. Along with three other bedrooms and two more baths, there is a small end suite with bath, ideal for a nanny, home offices or overnight guests. Adding to the home's charm is a small cottage with a porch, perfect for a writer’s retreat or a playhouse for children. A two-car garage is equipped with solar panels and a battery back-up system for house power backups. Park-like grounds sprawl to a secluded sunken garden and an in-ground "as-is” swimming pool with travertine deck, which needs TLC and refurbishing. Convenient to railroad and parkways. If you love historic homes, expansive grounds, incredible privacy, and plenty of room for family and friends, this one-of-a-kind home is a must-see!
