Property Description
A Legendary Estate with a Sports Sanctuary
Step into a world where luxury meets athletic excellence at this exceptional Georgian Colonial estate in Upper Brookville. Set on over four acres along the most prestigious street in the area, this residence offers an unparalleled blend of history, elegance, and recreation.
The centerpiece of this property is an oversized indoor sports sanctuary, designed for the ultimate sports professional or enthusiast. With a private tennis court, heated pool, and spa, this estate is built for year-round enjoyment. The expansive indoor court is adaptable for multiple sports, including hockey, basketball, badminton, and more—perfect for training or leisure.
The grand circa-1930 home, once owned by Josephine Hartford Douglas of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company legacy, exudes timeless sophistication. Inspired by her passion for sports, she constructed the original "Playhouse" after finding the renowned Piping Rock Club fully booked for a game of tennis. The recreation building originally housed a swimming pool, tennis court, music room, and drawing room—echoing a heritage of grandeur and entertainment.
Inside, the spacious residence boasts a beautifully updated kitchen, a luxurious master en-suite, and elegant living and dining spaces. Guest quarters provide comfort and privacy, while marble baths and exquisite architectural details enhance the home's superb appearance.
This is more than a home—it's a private sports retreat, a legacy property, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in an exclusive setting.
