Originally constructed in 1902, this meticulously maintained property has undergone extensive renovations to ensure contemporary comfort while offering panoramic views of Bruce's Field and Powderhouse Polo Field. The home boasts a spacious veranda encircling three sides, pine and heart-pine flooring, high ceilings, and a grand Great room with a coffered ceiling and full bar, ideal for hosting gatherings and events. The well-appointed bar features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a bar sink, and top-of-the-line appliances such as an icemaker, wine fridge, and dishwasher.
The main level of Blue Skies encompasses a formal living room, a cozy library with built-in shelves and cabinetry, an elegant dining room, a quality kitchen and a bright breakfast room with ample natural light. The functional kitchen is equipped with expansive granite counters, a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, a warming oven and a Viking range. Additionally, the main floor offers a full bath, a spacious utility closet, and a laundry room with a large stainless steel sink, perfect for equestrian gear or pet care. A service pantry with additional refrigeration and storage space provides easy access to snacks and party essentials.
