If you know anything about the tiny hamlet of Waccabuc, located in the heart of Lewisboro, NY, you might think stately white-shingle colonials, but this brand-new build in Waccabuc turns that notion on its ear. Set on sprawling level lawns, this modern new build by James Duncan Design, a full-service design firm offering high-end interior design and architecture, to-the-trade custom furniture and custom millwork, offers modern living for the discriminating homeowner. “It’s interiors were designed with a point of view,” says Benjamin Ginnel, principal of Ginnel Real Estate and the listing agent for the property, pointing out that many “spec” homes aren’t designed with the home’s level of detail and personality. “When you are in the home, you feel like you are on vacation or at some chic boutique hotel. It’s relaxing yet sophisticated.”
Surrounded by mature trees and lush lawns, the home, which also has a one-bedroom guest cottage designed in the same vein, is one-floor living with wide-plank white oak flooring, custom build-ins, metal windows and doors, and broad hallways connecting all the living spaces. The great room has a cozy seating area in front of the fireplace and room for a game table beyond. Large sliding doors in all the main rooms lead to the courtyard where the pool and patio are centrally placed for outdoor entertaining.
Cathedral ceilings in the living room and great room add drama to the minimalist Scandanavian design of the home. All the bedrooms are en suite with spa-like bathrooms. “James Ducan Design decorated the house with furniture, including linens and art specifically chosen for the spaces, which can all be purchased if a buyer wants, for a true turnkey transaction,” says Ginnel.
The large custom kitchen has an oversized island, high-end appliances and marble counters and backsplash. “The kitchen is my favorite spot,” says Ginnel. “The ceiling height, the layout with large island, the doors leading out to the firepit and terrace with views of the golf course as well as views through to the pool. It’s truly the heart of this home and captures the amazing design from all angles.”
The property is almost four level acres and adjoins the 97-acre Old Field Preserve and Waccabuc Country Club golf course. The community also has its own lake. Katonah train station is 17 minutes away.
“Buyers are looking for move-in ready, well-designed properties with amenities,” says Ginnel. “Most don’t have time to renovate and make all of the decisions necessary and this offers instant gratification.”
