About 85 Birchall Drive

Exceptionally private Manor home with an inviting circular courtyard, oversized inground heated pool and landscaped grounds splays prominently on beautiful parklike 1.45 acres. Nested discreetly in Murray Hill, a brilliant addition (2015) by Greenwich Architect Krist Dodaro exquisitely captures the intimate luxury of this home with a true gourmet kitchen, anchored by an oversized marble clad island (seats 5), custom designed cabinets, leathered granite countertops, multiple sinks with disposals, Viking French cooktop with two full size convection ovens, three dishwashers, separate full refrigerator and freezer, and a walk-in pantry all overlooking the sun-drenched breakfast area with French doors to the expansive yard and pool, adjoining the family room with turret shaped computer area all resplendent with oak built-ins - everything you ever wanted and more: glass enclosed Loggia complete with radiant heated stone flooring, mudroom with built-in lockers and cubbies, full bath, changing room and laundry (#1) leads to a 3+ car garage with an upstairs sanctuary (home office/yoga or art studio/guest suite) with full renovated bath. Complimentary to the traditional spirit and quality of this Manor home, the addition and updates seamlessly integrate with the grandeur of a traditional dining room, living room and sizeable sun room with radiant heated floors and offering access to the stone patio and yard. Escape upstairs to the primary bedroom sanctuary, with entrance vestibule, vaulted beamed ceiling, two bespoke walk-in closets, a roomy LUX bath with honed limestone floor, double vanities with shell leaf limestone sinks, self drying Jacuzzi tub for two, shower stall, water closet and a separate turret designed study (meditation room) wrapped in windows. There is an en-suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms sharing a renovated bath and laundry (#2) on this floor. Fabulous finished upper level offers a playful recreation space with built-in trundle beds, separate guest room (or office) and full bath. The lower level is just as fabulous, with a second recreational space and lounge plus additional separate room for a future media room. A supremely private Shanga-La, magnificent for entertaining large gatherings, private soirees or intimate evenings. A pleasure to visit - an honor to own!
