Brook Hollow Haven
A 1920s estate in Katonah's premier district, encompassing 48 acres of expertly designed gardens, a plethora of sophisticated amenities, and timeless architecture merged with modern elegance.
As dawn breaks over the idyllic Brook Hollow Farm, you're gently awakened by the soft chirping of birds outside your window. The morning sunlight peeks through the timeless architecture of your 1920s house, reminding you that today, like every day here in Katonah, promises endless possibilities.
You begin with a rejuvenating session in your aroma therapy room, the scents invigorating your senses and setting the mood for the day ahead. Feeling energized, you then head to your personal gym, housed in a beautifully transformed barn. The elegant millwork and state-of-the-art facilities inspire you to push yourself, and by the time you're done with your workout, you're more than ready to take on the day.
As breakfast time approaches, you make your way to the SmallBone kitchen. It's not just a kitchen; it's a space designed for family, comfort, and culinary experimentation. As you savor a freshly brewed coffee, you glance out into the extraordinary solarium, a testimony to the seamless blend of modern amenities and classic charm that defines your home. You then decide to take breakfast out on the veranda, enjoying the lush views of 48 acres of grounds and gardens crafted by the genius of Miranda Brooks.
The day unfolds gracefully, with a few sets on your new tennis court, followed by a refreshing dip in the 72-foot pool. As the sun climbs higher, you decide to take a ride around the property, following the trail that winds past outbuildings and architectural wonders. The journey takes you past the charming 1920s Writer's Cottage, a nostalgic piece of the estate's storied history.
Lunch is a relaxed affair in the luxurious pavilion, which today acts as an alfresco dining space. The NanaWall is open, connecting you with the gentle breeze and the delightful scent of Wisteria from the nearby arbor.
As afternoon fades into evening, you decide to host a small gathering for close friends. With 6 outbuildings, including the guest cottage, accommodating your guests is a breeze. Drinks are served in the dramatic great room, where conversations flow beneath Venetian plastered ceilings. Laughter and joy resonate through marble baths and elegant dressing areas, encapsulating the magic of Brook Hollow Farm.
Night settles, and you retreat to the elegant primary suite, with its luxurious baths and dressing areas. As you drift off to sleep, you're filled with gratitude for the incomparable lifestyle offered by 212 Mt. Holly Road—a serene sanctuary so close to the hustle and bustle of New York City.
