The writer’s hideout was newly made available after a major refurbishment.
The 4.8-acre Pound Ridge property in New York, once called home by the late sports writer Howard Cosell, is looking for a new owner.Compound It is listed $ 2.29 million with Lynn Harmonay of North Country Sotheby’s International Realty.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s disciple David Henken, the 21 Old Snake Hill Road was in “complete ruins” when the current seller bought it, and the previous owner could restore it. I promised.
“For the past three years, I have vigorously restored the main building and guesthouse, improved the property and added an annex,” interior designer and antique dealer Francis Melante told Post.
From outdoor equipment to four, including heated saltwater pools, pool houses, cabanas, two wrought-iron gazebos, two covered pouches, decks, and custom-made pergolas, the entire property is now readily available. The main building with bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Built in 1952, the space still features many of the details of Mid-Century design, including glass and stone walls, floating stairs, and cathedral-style ceilings with beams. It also boasts a bespoke wine cellar, a completed basement family room (formerly Cosell’s studio), a built-in wet bar, an original 1952 driver, and two stone fireplaces made of rock supplied by the property. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom guesthouse has a private kitchen, living space and stone walls.
Fresh landscaping has also added over 200 new bushes and trees (including three types of magnolia), rock walls and a magnificent entrance to the premises. Accommodation is accessible from a private road lined with Belgian blocks.
“The sale includes some historical objects related to the former owner Howard Cosell, who was collected by the current owner or inherited by the house,” said Melante. Widely known for coining the phrase “Bronx is on fire,” Kosel died in 1995 at the age of 77.
The address is about an hour north of Manhattan, opposite the Pound Ridge Golf Club and adjacent to the 26-acre Reserve by Preserve.
