    North of NYC North of NYC

    Houlihan Lawrence has guided people North of NYC for over 130 years. As a family of companies providing real estate, mortgage and title services, we are here to lead you through every step of the way.

    Spring is finally here, and summer is just around the corner. Many of the homes on the market offer outdoor recreational amenities, ranging from tennis courts to swimming pools. Here are a few spectacular pools that come with equally marvelous houses.

    Gorgeous Getaway

    This crystal-clear swimming pool and spa are complemented by a handsome terrace, a beautiful wisteria trellis, and an outdoor fireplace. They are strategically sited beside a classic stone and shingle Colonial on eight acres in a prime Bedford Hills estate area. Five bedrooms include a master suite with outdoor balcony and a separate suite with private entrance.

    A long gated approach leads through a grove of flowering cherry trees to a charming cobblestone courtyard. Acres of rolling lawn and mature perennial gardens of hydrangea, peonies, butterfly bushes, specimen plantings, plus a vegetable garden provide a private oasis.

The 6,361-square-foot residence exudes sophistication and comfort with generously scaled rooms, high ceilings, custom millwork, and wonderful entertaining spaces. Don't miss the magnificent, two-story entry with molded archways and grand staircase. The family room with dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and French doors opening to a generous patio are perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The formal living room has a fireplace and French doors that lead to a private, covered porch.
