Rosewood, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Architect Boris Baranovich is behind this home in Chappaqua, New York (see even more pictures at his site). The Georgian style stone manor looks like the set for a movie about the machinations of the impossibly wealthy. The home has over 20,000 square feet of space that done in grand style. Not too many homes feature both a rotunda and an indoor basketball court. The six-bedroom home includes a two-story library and a family room lined with bookshelves. It's always nice to see books in more than one room of a home instead of a flatscreen television on every available slice of wall. The property has an infinity swimming pool with spa, a pool house, tennis and sport courts. It is listed at $33 million.

The Pinnacle, Estate of the Day

The listing proclaims it as "hilltop villa for the 21st century" but I'm not sure I'd be quite so kind. The Pinnacle does command an enviable 60 acres in Chappaqua, New York but the interior decor seems trapped in the 1980s despite the fact that the home was built in 1993. The bright white modern home is over 16,000 square feet with high ceilings, curved walls and huge windows. The main living areas open to wraparound terraces. The home could use a bit of color the main spaces are done mostly in black and gray. And I'm a bit confused by the Jacuzzi tub which is accented with huge perfume bottles. But you certiainly would have room to roam, the home has six bedrooms and the property includes a pond with a fountain, a pool, hool house, tennis court, baseball field, restored 18th century farmhouse, a small antique winery and a two-bedroom caretaker's apartment. It is listed at $15.75 million.
