About 285 Old Colony Road
Welcome to one of the most spectacular properties in the highly acclaimed Edgemont School District. Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this legacy estate—owned by the family behind the famed Candlelight Inn—is ready for its next chapter. Not only is this the birthplace of many of the beloved Westchester culinary classics, but the property also offers exceptional privacy, backing to the Greenburgh Nature Center and Scarsdale Golf Club. A true suburban oasis, the home is just a few blocks from the Hartsdale train station, shops, restaurants, and Edgemont Junior and Senior High School. This charming Colonial has been lovingly maintained with new roof, new siding and updated windows throughout and has an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens seamlessly to the dining room, adjacent to the chef's kitchen. A cozy library/den and sunroom—with beautiful views of the grounds—provide additional space to relax and unwind. A mudroom leads to a generously sized two-car garage. Upstairs, the second level hosts the primary en-suite along with four additional bedrooms and two full baths. The lower level offers a spacious recreation room and abundant storage. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Westchester history—and to create your own legacy—on a secluded property in the heart of the Edgemont School District.
