Estate at Chapel Farm
Country Living in the City! Built in 1928, the Estate at Chapel Farm is a 14,050 square foot mint home on 2.3 private acres in Riverdale with a 99 year lease that, at expiration, automatically renews for another 99 years. Lovingly restored by the owners to its pre-war grandeur, this home has 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 3 half baths, a chef’s kitchen with commercial grade appliances including an indoor BBQ pit, formal dining room, a music room, gym with sauna, a billiards room, 6 hand-carved marble fireplaces, 2 laundry rooms and a sun-filled Conservatory.
Artisans spent 4 years hand-painting and gilding the ceilings with white gold leaf. Chandeliers from The Plaza, Tiffany and LeFarge stained glass windows were also brought in to complement the homes interior. Custom French Walnut millwork is throughout the home on the floors, wall paneling, tray ceilings, staircase, bar area and closet doors which are all 2-1/4 inch thick.
Atop one of Riverdale’s highest points, enjoy your own Downton Abbey estate with private driveway and Koi pond all within walking distance of Wave Hill and many of Riverdale’s top educational institutions.
Surrounded by trees and rolling hills, the Estate at Chapel Farm is only minutes to midtown Manhattan and 30 minutes to Wall Street. It is perfect as a home or as a corporate retreat. The Estate at Chapel Farm is the epitome of country living in the city. Showings by appointment only.
