Description

Seize this rare opportunity to own an iconic estate rich in history, dating back to the 1890s. This distinguished property, known as The Manor House, was established by Walter Law, the founder of The Village of Briarcliff Manor. Constructed on Brier Cliff Farms, originally acquired from James Stillman, then-President of National City Bank (now Citibank), the estate at 139 Scarborough Rd exudes a blend of historical charm and opulence. Spanning over 9 acres, the expansive 15, 000+ sq. ft. residence features 14 bedrooms, 7.1 bathrooms, a private entertainment hall, a bar, an atrium, and an indoor pool, all highlighted by distinctive architectural elements. The wood paneling throughout the estate, imported from The Baxter Church in England, has been meticulously preserved. In 1928, The Manor House served as a clubhouse for the Metropolitan Masons and was once the venue for a notable boxing match between Jack Sharkey and Carl Brisson in the early 1930s. Designed with input from the Olmstead Brothers, renowned landscape architects behind Manhattan's Central Park, the estate still features remnants of their work, including waterfalls, retaining walls, statues, gazebos, and greenhouses. Former residents have included prominent families such as the Rockefellers, Shepherds, Speyers, Macys, Webbs, and Astors. This is a rare opportunity to restore and own a significant piece of history. Don't miss the chance to make this extraordinary estate your own.
