About the Listing DOUGEL03 - 17210
This extraordinary residence was designed and built by its current owner—a master architect who crafted the home for his own family. A true labor of love, it reflects a rare blend of vision, design excellence, and functionality. After many years of creating and enjoying a private family oasis, the time has come to pass the keys to a fortunate new owner who will fully appreciate the craftsmanship and thoughtful intention behind every inch of this remarkable home. Meticulously maintained and finished to the highest standards, the property offers a sense of peace and seclusion that words cannot fully capture. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, it sits majestically on 1.68 acres of pristine, landscaped grounds. A long private driveway winds past striking rock outcroppings, setting the stage for what awaits. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the exceptional garage accommodations: an attached three-car garage with a lift and soaring 14-foot ceilings, as well as a detached two-car garage with an attic loft designed for future recreational or living space—allowing for up to six vehicles in total. Seamless indoor-outdoor living is enhanced by Andersen French doors (a $25,000 upgrade) and a newly installed Trex deck with under-cover protection overlooking the patio below. The finished walk-out lower level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a full bathroom, home theatre, full wet bar, and Murphy bed, with direct access to the resort-style pool area. A fully integrated audio system provides surround sound throughout the lower level and connects to all TV stations. Outside, enjoy your private retreat complete with a 20x40 heated in-ground pool, pool house, and pavilion. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with an Italian-made grill, wood-burning pizza oven, and a utility sink with hot and cold water—perfect for entertaining on any scale. Exceptional mechanical upgrades include a newly installed heating system, 3-zone central air conditioning, 4-zone hot water heating, and a hot water circulating system providing instant hot water throughout. A multi-zone WiFi system ensures seamless connectivity across the entire property. Additional features include Carrier AC compressors, a water softener, retractable awnings, a 50-year GAF roof installed in 2025, and a full in-ground sprinkler system. Safety and reliability are paramount, with a hardwired surveillance system, central security and fire alarm, carbon monoxide detection, new fiberglass oil tanks installed in 2024, an automatic whole-house LP generator, and a sprinkler system for enhanced fire protection. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with premium appliances, including a Thermador 6-burner gas cooktop, double wall oven, KitchenAid French door refrigerator with three drawers, and a three-drawer dishwasher. A two-sided gas fireplace elegantly connects the kitchen and family room, enhancing warmth and ambiance. The first floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a sunroom with two additional rooms and a full bathroom—ideal for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or private office. Additional highlights include direct garage access into the laundry room, two entry walk-in closets, a spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets, a princess suite with its own walk-in closet, and a shed for additional storage. Located within the Carmel Post Office and the highly regarded Mahopac School District, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Including the finished lower level, the residence offers approximately 5,381 square feet of living space. Taxes are as follows: Town and County $7,133.68; School $18,125.64; Total $25,259.32. With STAR savings of $861, taxes are reduced to $24,398.32.
