Situated on over half an acre of lushly landscaped property, 8 Rittenhouse is a remarkable whitewashed brick French Country manor featuring a sculpted brick chimney, varied rooflines, and pristine exterior stonework, designed by the venerated architect Lewis Bowman. A semi-circular driveway welcomes you, and upon entering the home, you are immediately struck by the light and openness created by the two-story entrance hall. A sunken living room features an impressive fireplace with a carved mantel, a built-in bar, and elegant elliptical windows—offering a truly captivating space. The living room flows into an inviting sunroom that overlooks the grotto-style black-bottom pool, jacuzzi, and waterfall, creating a natural amphitheater-like setting that is truly one of a kind. The home offers an oversized kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, adjoined by a breakfast area and a formal dining room. The first floor is completed by a charming library or office and a powder room. The second level features a primary suite with a newly renovated spa-like bathroom, complete with a soaking tub, double vanity, and radiant heated floors. There are three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and guest quarters accessed from both the kitchen and the second floor. The lower level offers a versatile space for hobbies, a gym, and play, along with a laundry area and ample storage. Beyond the enchanting pool is a flat, usable yard ideal for play, as well as an entertaining terrace that connects the kitchen to the pool area for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A terra-cotta roof, full-house generator, two-car garage, new copper gutters, and more complete this exceptional offering.
Bronxville Manor, located between Bronxville Village and Lake Isle Country Club, is a residential and commuter-friendly Eastchester neighborhood with Tudor-style streetscapes and leafy, curving lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Pondfield Road West and Kraft Avenue area, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and station-day foot traffic set the pace. Architectural cues lean to prewar colonials and Tudors with stone walls and mature trees framing the blocks. Bronxville Farmers’ Market and The Picture House Regional Film Center act as cultural touchstones nearby. Scout Field and the Bronx River Pathway add a green edge for walks and weekend loops. Metro-North at Bronxville Station keeps the rhythm tied to Manhattan-bound schedules.
