An architectural masterpiece with an imposing location, the former Herbert C. Pell residence stands among Tuxedo Park's most distinguished homes - one of the few positioned at a high elevation with panoramic lake and mountain views to the South, East, and West. Designed in the late 1890s by architect William A. Bates, this masterpiece rises from a monolithic native stone foundation, its structure appearing to emerge naturally from the hillside as a testament to engineering and art.
Finely laid brick and artisanal millwork form an exterior of remarkable beauty and enduring craftsmanship. The facade's Neoclassical, Georgian, Queen Anne, and Greek Revival details, along with Dutch-gambrel rooflines, create a residence of timeless appeal in Tuxedo Park's classic vernacular. Inside, the home is balanced between grandeur and comfort, making it as ideal for large-scale entertaining as it is for refined daily living. A formal entry and imposing staircase introduce rooms with high ceilings, bathed in natural light and long views over Tuxedo Lake.
A columned octagonal living room with intricate millwork and large windows anchors the formal spaces, while the restored oak-paneled dining room features a wood-burning fireplace and generous scale for intimate and grand gatherings. Both rooms open to an elevated, covered porch that extends the outdoor living area to embrace breathtaking vistas with Tuxedo Lake shimmering below, under sunrise and sunset. Throughout the home, six distinct fireplaces punctuate the interiors with warmth and architectural interest.
Completing the main floor are the richly appointed kitchen and library with wet bar, built-in bookshelves, and large windows. The second floor offers five spacious bedrooms, some with stunning lake or mountain views, fireplaces, and en-suite bathrooms. The primary suite offers exceptional views, a fireplace, dressing room, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom. The partially finished upper floor invites customization as studios, a playroom, gym rooms, or guest suite, here too with exceptional panoramic views.
A lower level with exterior access adds versatility with a private office, summer kitchen, recreation room, full bath, three-season porch, and a climate-controlled wine cellar. Situated on approximately 1.5 acres, the property boasts terraced lawns and stone garden paths. Mature trees, native plantings, and the elevated topography ensure privacy and scenic beauty in all seasons.
Perfectly situated in the heart of historic Tuxedo Park, with 24-hour security - just about an hour from New York City - this iconic residence embodies the community's architectural legacy and lakeside lifestyle, offering a rare combination of prime location, architectural provenance, and comfortable, inspired living.
