Property Description

Behind stately iron gates on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Briarcliff Manor, a remarkable home awaits—steeped in history, wrapped in charm, and gracefully updated for modern living. Originally built in 1897 as part of the historic Macy Estate, this enchanting Tudor-style Gate House offers a rare blend of vintage character and contemporary comfort across approx 2,800 square feet of artfully designed space on a bucolic 1.36 acres. Expanded in 2019 with a 1,000-square-foot European-inspired addition, the home now features a stunning chef’s kitchen and a luxurious first-floor primary suite, each crafted to harmonize with the home's original architectural details. Rich wood paneling, antique lighting, leaded glass windows, and multiple wood-burning fireplaces infuse each room with a quiet elegance, while thoughtful updates bring ease and style to everyday life. The oversized, sun-filled eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home—a luminous, high-performance space designed for entertaining and inspired living. Two custom islands, premium appliances, and a cozy sitting area by the double-sided fireplace invite both lively gatherings and quiet mornings. French doors lead to a picturesque deck, offering seamless access to the gardens beyond. The formal living and dining rooms provide warm, sophisticated spaces for hosting, while a versatile library or home office with a separate Dutch door entrance offers potential for a guest suite, den, or creative studio. The first-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary with garden views, its own fireplace, a spa-like marble tiled bath with soaking tub, in-suite laundry, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, an updated full bath, and abundant storage space. Outdoors, is the real showstopper—lush gardens, layered, and alive with color and movement. Meandering stone paths lead through perennial beds filled with lilacs, lupine, larkspur, peonies, milkweed, echinacea, and California poppies. Towering maple, birch, beech, and willow trees provide a stately canopy, while fruit trees—peach, cherry, apple varieties, and blueberry bushes—add seasonal delight. A private courtyard, cobblestone fire pit, and multiple patios create intimate settings for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or stargazing under the evening sky. The grounds are alive with wildlife: red cardinals, goldfinches, hummingbirds, monarch butterflies, and the occasional flight of geese pass through like brushstrokes on an ever-changing canvas. This is a garden that doesn’t just bloom—it sings. The home’s storybook charm is matched by its practicality. A detached garage with attic storage and an 18-foot workbench, a garden shed, and a brick-lined picnic area provide additional function and flexibility. The lion-adorned electric entry gate, original waist-high stacked stone wall along Holbrook Road, and 8-foot deer fencing preserve the property’s serenity and security. Even the lamp posts tell a tale—they were sourced from Central Park, lending a timeless grace to the landscape. All of this, just minutes from Metro-North, parks, trails, shopping, dining, and the village pool and recreation center. At 3 Holbrook Road, you are close to it all—yet worlds away. Rare, refined, and radiating charm—this is a home that honors its past while embracing the present.
