Property Description

Prepare for a breathtaking experience as you visit this re-imagined Classic Contemporary waterfront jewel. This unique home has one of the most dramatic and uninterrupted views of Long Island Sound that Westchester has to offer, and with its own private beach. With 3737 square feet of sophisticated and elegant living space and no-expense-spared renovations, in 2021 and 2024, this property is exceptional inside and out. When you enter the front Foyer, you are met with stunning water views and a contemporary open floor plan. A state-of-the-art glass wall separates the Kitchen and dining area from the foyer allowing you to see straight through to the sea. To your left is the Great Room. Its vaulted ceiling enhances the wonderful sense of volume and space and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors facing the sea brings the beauty and excitement of outside, inside. Great blue herons and snowy egrets fishing in the morning, the rhythm of changing tides, sunsets…there is always something to see. The Great Room is enhanced by a gas fireplace flanked built-in white oak shelving and easy access to the deck that runs the full length of the house for lounging or dining. There are motorized light/heat filtering shades throughout the first floor as well as 7” new white oak flooring. As we move through to the Kitchen and Dining Area, we find exquisite pendant lights over the dining table and the Kitchen's nine-foot center island. There is radiant heat under the White Oak flooring. Long stretches of Carrera/Calacutta marble counters and the leathered granite island echo the integrity and simplicity that characterize this home and leave room for the main event, which is the spectacular view, through vaulted windows of Long Island Sound. On this main floor, we also find a stunning Primary Bedroom Suite, flooded with light and again, with water views. The two walk-in custom designed Closets and a full-sized washer and dryer, a uniquely designed built-in desk and cabinetry, plus access to the seaside deck make this the perfect tranquil self-contained hideaway. The Primary Bath includes a marble and glass shower, double sink and radiant heated floor. And the surprise is a short stairway to a carpeted and heated Bonus Room/Yoga Retreat and Storage Space, fitted with custom cabinetry. Completing the 1st floor is a Powder Room, an Office/Bedroom with custom built in desk, shelving and storage, plus two large Hall Closets. A newly designed glass and steel center staircase with beautiful multi-pendant light fixture, takes us to the lower level. Here you will a second large elegant Primary Bedroom Suite with gas fireplace and Ensuite Bath, plus two additional bedrooms with Full Baths, Hall bath and the main laundry area. This 2nd Primary Bedroom was recently created from a large Family Room that faces the water and has access to the patio and rear yard. It can easily be enjoyed as a Family room or continue as the home's 5th bedroom. The HVAC system, boiler, whole-house generator, outdoor shower and cedar shake roof are all new within the last 2 to 3 years, promising a home that will be easily maintained for years to come. And the property is not in a flood zone. Set in the heart of the Isle of San Souci, 159 Kensington Oval offers not just a home, but a community. Enjoy your Summers on your private beach or join friends and neighbors at the San Souci Pool and Tennis Club where you can play a variety of racquet sports, swim laps, or relax by the pool. You are only 30 minutes from Manhattan, but truly a world away.
