23 Baxter Road North Salem, NY 10560

Set on one of the most scenic country lanes in the heart of North Salem with long reaching western views and spectacular sunsets protected by 30 abutting-acres of the North Salem Land Trust, this architecturally dramatic Modern Farmhouse exudes sleek sophistication at every turn. Coupled with curated modern amenities, masterful attention to every detail, and a level of construction rarely seen, the results are a light-filled residence perfect for weekend or year-round living and entertaining. Eminently livable with no display of fussiness, the open yet warmly inviting spaces feature porcelain and quarter-sawn oak floors, salvaged hewn beams, custom French doors by LePage, smart tilework, and detailed custom cabinetry at every turn. The sun-filled steel and glass entry with a curved floating staircase opens to a well-proportioned living room with fireplace. The designed-for-entertaining kitchen features top of the line appliances, marble waterfall-top center island and backsplashes, porcelain counters, and sleek cabinetry; and the adjoining family room features a centered fireplace complemented by walls of French doors and adjacent covered terrace all showing-off the far reaching countryside views. A privately-set guest suite, home office with custom built-ins and powder room are noteworthy. Upstairs the family quarters offers privacy for everyone. The master suite is an incredible retreat with a marble centered-fireplace with floating hearth, beam and vaulted ceiling, herringbone-pattern hardwood floors, and a private balcony. The ultra-sleek spa bath features a soaking tub, steam shower, water closet, dual vanity, and a large custom-fitted dressing closet. A second bedroom is also complemented with a luxury bath. A barn-like media room that can double as a spacious guest suite has a row of custom-built-ins and a full bath. Outside, a studio with coffered ceiling features a whimsically-tiled fireplace, pine floors, full kitchen and full bath with subway tile opens to a summer brick terrace overlooking a sparkling pool and wisteria covered pergola. Finishing with a soon to be completed garage and a set-back, two-bedroom caretaker's house with its own driveway, this impressive modern farmhouse is only one hour to New York City. Less
