In the fall, when the flurry of East End festivities are finito, it\u2019s hard to return to real life \u2014 and apartment living. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s when our envious eyes wander north, where the leaves are drenched in color and a flush of dramatic estates are now on the market.<\/p>\n
Behold, Arrow Hill at 2525 Purchase St. in Westchester County. Built in 1927 on 40-plus green acres, it\u2019s one of the most significant properties to list in the area in years. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn almost three decades of being in the real estate industry, I have never experienced a more inherently unique and versatile property than Arrow Hill,\u201d says broker Louis Katsoris of Julia B. Fee Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, who has it listed at $28.5 million.<\/p>\n
And dig this for grandeur: The recently reno\u2019d neoclassical pile expands over 14,000 square feet in the main house with eight bedrooms and nine full bathrooms. <\/p>\n
The grounds have two guest residences, a do-what-thou-wilt \u201changer,\u201d a pool house and formal landscape architecture with enough fountains and garden statuary to make a duke feel at ease. <\/p>\n

The tennis court, indoor sports court, gym and, yes, \u201ccatacombs\u201d offer all the venues needed for your own game of \u201cTraitors.\u201d <\/p>\n
Follow your compass about 18 miles northeast to the town of Pound Ridge for a completely different take on a surreal estate. <\/p>\n
Here lies 51 Old Stone Hill Road, an award-winning rectangular home built into 19.5 acres of wooded and boulder-strewn landscape by Philly-based designer KieranTimberlake. <\/p>\n
Inside 51 Old Stone Hill\u2019s iconoclastic jigsaw facade, you\u2019ll find stairways to heaven. Peter Aaron\/Otto<\/p>\n
Reflect upon its mirror, glass, steel and zinc-coated copper jigsaw facade. Compass broker Brian Milton calls it \u201ca rare, collectible work,\u201d and like a lesser Rothko, has it listed for $15 million. Inside, the four-bed, four-bath, 4,485-square-footer has \u201cgallery-like interiors,\u201d floating staircases and walls of glass blended with natural materials like stone and warm woods.<\/p>\n
Of course architecture isn\u2019t enough, so how about a 2,400-bottle wine cellar, an outdoor kitchen and a media room built by audiovisual pros?<\/p>\n
Additional autumnal attitude can be attained by driving another two hours north and turning right. <\/p>\n
The 21-acre grounds inside Massachusetts\u2019 Wheatleigh include a gracious fountain. Rhonda Cyr<\/p>\n
Sneak just five miles over the Massachusetts border to find another estate that\u2019s a once-in-a-generation buy. Designed in 1893 by Peabody & Stearns in the style of a 16th-century Florentine palazzo, with 21-acre grounds by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Wheatleigh at 11 Hawthorne Road in Stockbridge is a rare surviving example of a Gilded Age \u201cBerkshire cottage.\u201d<\/p>\n
It hit the market asking $14.5 million in July after five decades operating as a boutique five-star hotel. <\/p>\n
One of the super-sized Stockbridge spread\u2019s 19 bedrooms. Rhonda Cyr<\/p>\n
It has 19 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms and almost 20,000 square feet of space, plus a cellar ready for 6,500 of your best bottles. Pool, tennis court, gym, it\u2019s got it all.<\/p>\n
Does it need a residential redo after years of gallivanting guests? Sure it does. But that\u2019s just turning over a new leaf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the fall, when the flurry of East End festivities are finito, it\u2019s hard to return to real…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2518,17713,9974,9,56,63,65,64,1491,1628],"class_list":["post-372910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-alexa","tag-country","tag-estates","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-real-estate","tag-westchester-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
