2 Hidden Pond Drive

Description

Set within the gated community of Hidden Pond, one of Old Westbury's most prestigious developments, this custom shingle-style residence was built by Stewart Senter in 2014, with architecture by AM Sutton Associates. Approached by a cobblestone-banded circular drive, the exterior carries a signature turret, a new cedar-shake roof, copper leaders, and new Pella windows. Inside, roughly 7,500 square feet hold the kind of detail that only shows up in a house built to keep. The two-story entry sets the tone, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a curved staircase beneath a wall of arched glass. Off the foyer, a formal living room sits under a coffered ceiling around a marble fireplace. The family room opens to the pool through walls of glass, centered on a second fireplace framed in custom marble. The formal dining room stands on its own: herringbone floors with a mahogany inlay, hand-applied lime-wash walls, and a coffered ceiling finished in high-gloss lacquer. The kitchen is finished with custom cabinetry, marble counters and a full slab backsplash, a large center island, and a Sub-Zero and Thermador appliance suite. A butler's pantry connects it to the entertaining rooms. All seven bedrooms are en-suite, each with its own bath and radiant heat. Among them are a first-floor suite and a private primary under a vaulted, shiplapped ceiling, with a linear gas fireplace, a private terrace, and a spa bath in marble and mosaic tile. A barrel-vaulted gallery with a curved balustrade overlooks the entry below. The lower level is given over to wellness and recreation: a movie theater, a gym and wellness chamber with a cold plunge and a sauna offering both infrared and traditional heat, a home office, a gaming room, and a kids' playroom. The laundry room runs two full washer and dryer sets and a Laundry Jet Swift system, a vacuum-powered network with intake ports throughout the house that sends laundry straight to the machines, no chutes or hampers required. Throughout, the house is wired to a modern standard, with Lutron lighting and shades, Sonos audio, a full-house generator, and natural gas service. A three-car garage with carriage doors and EV charging completes the property. Outside, a gunite pool and spa anchor a bluestone terrace off a covered loggia, with mature gardens and landscape lighting set against a private, wooded 2.51-acre backdrop. Minutes from the top Gold Coast country clubs and schools, and just 25 miles from Manhattan, 2 Hidden Pond Drive offers privacy and finish rarely found together.
