The Belvedere. a luxurious, French country house, nestled on almost 3 acres and situated up a long, circular driveway, lined with an allee of birch trees, in a completely private setting. This magnificent home and property were completely reimagined by its current owners and renovated with painstaki...ng care. The result is a turnkey property, that has an air of elegance and sophistication with a modern infrastructure. It features unimaginable 18ft ceilings on its first level, a dramatic hip roof and "quoins" used on all exterior corners of the structure - from the French word for "corners". And a lovely pediment or gable above its double door entry on the exterior. Overall, the home's classical architectural details give it the feeling of a home built in the 18th century, not the 20th century. It's quite extraordinary and refreshing to come home to. Distinctive! The Belvedere's many lovely, oversized windows and glass doors flood the house with light much of the day and provide easy access to the outdoors. It features a large limestone terrace off the great living room, with windows and doors on three sides. The rear yard features a babbling brook on one side and is an ideal location for a pool if one desires. The scale of its main living room is substantial, with a grand entry hall and sweeping stairwell, which opens to the living room, a banquet size dining room, and a beautiful, chic kitchen, that's not only elegant, but functional because of the large amount of storage space. The primary bedroom suite features an oversized room with windows on two sides, a huge walk-in closet with windows and a bathroom with travertine marble floors and surround. There three additional bedrooms (the fourth bedroom was converted to enormous walk-in closet; can be converted back to additional bedroom or den), two and one half baths and a media/family room. Best of all, The Belvedere features a 4-car garage! This residence is located just up the road from The Bruce Pierce Cottages, on Pepperidge Road, where Pierre Lorillard and William Astor, early residents of the Park, were regular visitors. Belvedere is a great place to call home! To live, work, entertain or simply enjoy life in. Whether it's your full-time residence or secondary home. Once the home of tycoons, Tuxedo Park is recognized as the first gated community in the United States. Both J.P. Morgan and William Waldorf Astor had homes here, and the village gave its name to the revolutionary tuxedo that modernized formal wear by inspiring men to replace their traditional tailcoats with shorter dinner jackets - which was invented in Tuxedo Park! Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the village was built in the 1880s by Pierre Lorillard, the tobacco heir, as a rustic hunting and fishing retreat for his affluent New York friends. Considered one of the nation's finest examples of pre-World War I architecture, Tuxedo Park is home to some 300 historic residences nestled in a very private nature sanctuary of scenic valleys and stunning glacial lakes, several suitable for swimming and stocked with trout and bass for fishing. The 2,600-acre private compound also offers an abundance of hiking, biking and riding paths. Today, the Tuxedo Club, offers its membership an array of sporting activities from tennis, swimming, sailing, golf and more, and there is fine dining and casual fare too. The commute to New York Penn Station via New Jersey Transit rail service is just under 50 minutes. Nothing Compares to The Belvedere!
