Built by Henry Lockwood for one of the original “Mad Men” of the NY advertising industry in the 50’s, this mid-century home hosted lavish, Hollywood star-lit parties on its gracious, near 2 acre, property. An entertainer's delight, the ample foyer opens to the living and dining rooms, where floor-to-ceiling windows and a granite fireplace unite it to the gorgeous, park-like property. Adjacent is a pecky cypress paneled den with stone floors leading to the patio and in-ground pool, shaded by a magnificent, old copper beech tree. The delightful sunroom, with walls of glass, flows into the covered terrace and the glass-walled studio/guest house with full bath. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a study complete the first floor, while the master suite graciously overlooks all on the second. It's a rare gem with mid-century panache. Newer roof, air conditioners, studio furnace, range, dishwasher, dryer, carpet and exterior paint. Available for the first time in over 65 years. The savvy investor will also consider the 3 additional, already subdivided, lots available separately MLS 170000650. Agent/owner related.
