"VILLA KEEN" - CASTLE GLAMOUR MEETS BROADWAY & THE ARTS - Irvington, NY, Circa 1929. Just imagine... Joseph Keen and his wife embark on the construction of a "Cinderella" castle on a stunning 2.42-acre lot, mere steps from Halsey Pond, minutes from the Hudson River, and just 30 minutes from Manhattan. As you arrive home, traversing the driveway with imposing stone pillars, the historic carved Indian Beech tree in front of the winding stairs tells a story from the 1700s, but we'll save that for a rainy day...
Fast forward, Lloyd Stratton, president of the Associated Press, resides here, typing tirelessly in the oak library. The 1960s bring resident Robert Wright, producer of The Carol Burnett Show and other Broadway hits. If you seek inspiration beyond your wildest dreams, it's all still intact today, including the Chesney fireplace, Mackenzie-Childs fixtures, and Schonbek Austrian crystal chandelier...
If you wish to entertain, please be our guest, whether entering through the 15-foot stained-glass gates to your private courtyard, spending time in the "Beauty and the Beast"-worthy grand dining room, the Green Room, relaxing poolside or in the pool house, the choice is yours. Of course, your guests or residents will appreciate their stay in the tower bedrooms with ornate stained-glass windows, or the private guest accommodations with a separate entrance...
Speaking of entertaining, the list of illustrious guests and residents continues, such as Oscar-winning actress Shirley Jones, Tony Award-winning actor Jack Cassidy, and their son, multi-platinum recording artist Shaun Cassidy. If only these walls could talk... Well, you can still hear the grand piano echoing in the formal living room by one of the many lit fireplaces...
A perfectly solid structure on a private cul-de-sac street, with newer systems and mechanics, a train line to NYC just 5 minutes away, and the award-winning Irvington Schools, here is your chance to enhance a property that could never be duplicated today. In fact, "Villa Keen" is so special that a replica only exists in California, made by one of its former owners. Are you ready to live this fairytale fantasy?
