839 MOUNT KISCO ROAD, ARMONK

A First Impression That Lasts Approaching through a gated entry, the estate immediately announces its presence. A sweeping, tree-lined driveway guides you toward the front façade, where timeless brickwork and symmetrical lines reflect classic colonial design. Yet, even before stepping inside, there’s a palpable sense that this home is not about grandeur for grandeur’s sake, but about comfort, privacy, and an understated refinement.

The three-car attached garage and wide parking court anticipate the comings and goings of a modern family, as well as the gatherings this kind of home inevitably inspires. To me, it feels like the perfect blend of suburban serenity and cosmopolitan sophistication—a duality that defines Westchester at its very best. 

Spaces That Inspire and Comfort Inside, the home offers 7,735 square feet of living space, laid out with both intimacy and generosity. The heart of the house is the two-story family room, flooded with natural light, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outdoors like ever-changing artwork. Just beyond, the chef’s kitchen is a study in both function and form. With its oversized island, professional-grade appliances, and custom cabinetry, it’s as suited to a casual Sunday breakfast as it is to catering an elegant holiday dinner.

The formal dining room and living room—with their fireplaces, crown molding, and warm wood floors—offer the kind of traditional spaces that anchor family memories. Yet the flow between rooms is open and modern, perfectly designed for entertaining on any scale. A first-floor library/office, tucked away behind French doors, provides the kind of work-from-home sanctuary so many of us value today. 

A Private Retreat Upstairs The second floor continues the story of thoughtful design. The primary suite is nothing short of a sanctuary: a spacious bedroom with a fireplace, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath clad in marble. Here, one can imagine the quiet rituals of morning coffee or the long exhale at day’s end, wrapped in serenity.

The remaining bedrooms—each generous in size—feature ensuite or shared Jack and Jill baths, creating comfort and privacy for family or guests. Bonus rooms upstairs lend themselves to art studios, play spaces, or guest quarters, reflecting the flexibility this estate was designed to offer. 

Entertainment & Wellness at Home Descending to the lower level feels like entering a private club. A home theater, gym, wet bar, and spa room provide spaces for both wellness and leisure. It’s the kind of lower level where weekends are easily spent without ever leaving home—whether you’re screening the latest release, indulging in a workout, or simply unwinding with friends over cocktails.

Most importantly, the lower level opens directly to the grounds, making the indoor-outdoor lifestyle effortless. 

A Resort-Style Setting Outdoors
It’s the outdoors, however, where 839 Mount Kisco Road truly shines. Spread across nearly three acres, the grounds are as versatile as they are stunning. A regulation tennis court, already striped for pickleball, provides endless recreation. The in-ground pool and spa sparkle under the sun, while a firepit lounge and fully equipped outdoor kitchen invite long evenings beneath the stars.

What struck me most was the way the property balances activity and relaxation. There are spaces for children to run freely, for hosting elegant garden parties, and for enjoying tranquil moments of solitude. All of it framed by mature landscaping that ensures both beauty and privacy.

Life in Armonk: Quiet Charm, City Access
Armonk itself adds to the appeal. Nestled in Westchester County, the town is celebrated for its strong sense of community, charming downtown, and easy proximity to Manhattan. In under an hour, you can trade the stillness of your estate for the cultural vibrancy of the city. That dual lifestyle—country calm and city convenience—is precisely what makes this location so desirable.

For families, the home falls within the acclaimed Byram Hills School District, consistently ranked among the best in the state. Education, community, and lifestyle converge seamlessly here.

The Value of Luxury
At $4,900,000, this residence represents a significant investment, but also an extraordinary opportunity. Annual taxes of approximately $52,385 reflect not just the square footage, but the privilege of living in one of Westchester’s premier communities.

Yet beyond numbers and square feet, what one truly acquires here is a way of life—one that blends timeless architecture with modern amenities, private grounds with community connection, and tranquility with accessibility.

A Reflection on Home
Touring 839 Mount Kisco Road reminded me of why so many New Yorkers find themselves drawn to Westchester. It’s not only the homes themselves, but what they represent: balance, permanence, and the art of living well. This property, in particular, captures all of that with grace. It is at once an entertainer’s dream, a family’s safe haven, and a personal retreat.

For the discerning buyer, 839 Mount Kisco Road is more than an address. It’s a statement—of refinement, of comfort, and of a life lived fully.
