Situated on a manicured flag lot in Penn Valley, this exceptional 6-bedroom, 5.2-bathroom estate spans over 7,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Originally the carriage house to the magnificent Penshurst Estate built in 1901, this secluded retreat is accessed via a long, tree-lined drive. The culmination is a stunningly picturesque historic home with landscaped views of the home’s private 3-hole golf course and valley beyond. An inviting front portico is a welcome entry into a grand hall, opening further to a splendid seating area with soaring ceilings and double doors that lead to a serene patio. High ceilings continue into a sophisticated library, where a mezzanine showcases curated artifacts. At the heart of the home is a majestic Great Room which includes breathtaking 30+ foot ceilings, exposed beams and exotic rattan, beautifully incorporating elements of the home’s historic carriage house pedigree. The space opens directly to the pool, slate stone terrace, golf course and views beyond, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the kitchen offers a premier cook’s environment and features a generous center island, stainless steel appliances, tiled flooring, exposed brick, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the cathedral ceiling family room, beyond which lies an elegant passageway leading to a guest suite comprising a sitting room, guest bedroom, and full bath. A cast iron spiral staircase from the guest suite descends to a large versatile lower level. Complete with a half-bath and kitchenette. The space can be used as an office, gym, or family entertainment room. French doors lead to a covered exterior entrance and stairwell offering desirable private use. An original carriage door at the East side of the family room leads directly into a distinctive music area of the Great Room, where diamond paned glass windows and exposed stone add warmth and character to the space. Set back from the common areas is the home’s primary suite. It is an impressive sanctuary featuring an oversized walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom with separate vanities, a glass-enclosed standing shower, soaking tub, and dramatic arched windows. Across the way, a dressing room and day bed with a full bath provides the perfect multifunctional space. Additional first-level conveniences include a powder room, laundry room, and mudroom. The second level offers bright and airy bedrooms plus a full hall bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower illuminated by skylights. An additional in-law or au pair suite, complete with a kitchen, full bathroom, seating area, and a private entrance, ensures flexibility for multi-generational living. Completing this extraordinary property is a well-appointed mudroom, a security system, a generator and a one-car garage with EV charger and additional turn around area for parking. For a unique touch of luxury, a professionally installed three-hole golf course sits adjacent to the house. The property is close to shops, parks, restaurants and is a ten-minute drive to Suburban Square.
