More than 12 acres of rolling lawns and gardens surround this more-than-7,000-square-foot legacy estate built in 1747. Current owner Drew Barrymore, who purchased the property in 2024, modernized parts of it, restored historic details and infused a bit of her own personality into the interiors through an ongoing renovation she personally oversaw. “She made each room a moment and spent a lot of time picking colors, wallpaper, etc., to keep true to the home’s 1700 vintage while also modernizing it for today’s lifestyle,” says Kori Sassower, principal agent at The Kori Sassower Team of Compass in Rye Brook, NY. The expansive property is rare for lower Westchester County and includes a pool house and guest house on the grounds. Sassower notes the flexibility the estate affords to use it as a family compound, sell off the five existing subdivided lots or use it as a private retreat. “Having this much privacy while still being close to the train, school, shopping and dining is really unique,” she adds.
Interiors are light and bright with a soaring 30-foot ceiling in the great room, which has lots of windows and two French doors. “I love the great room with 30-foot ceilings and the sunlight conservatory used as a breakfast nook, which gives 365-degree views of the grounds,” says Sassower. “The sun-filled rooms are something you just need to experience in person.”
The kitchen has been renovated but still has a working fireplace true to its circa 1740s roots. There are five fireplaces throughout the home, giving an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the front entrance, kitchen, sitting room, conservatory and primary suite, which includes a walk-in closet, two bathrooms, a sitting room and a Juliet balcony. The primary is one of five bedrooms in the house. There is another guest bedroom in the pool house and a sleeping loft in the guest house.
Outside, a fieldstone patio surrounds an organically shaped heated gunite in-ground pool and spa adjacent to a pool house. “The pool house is very unique and special, with a gorgeous living room and a soaking tub overlooking the grounds,” says Sassower. The custom pool house is appointed with a working fireplace, sunny window nook and full kitchen. Beyond the pool and pool house, hills and lawns of meadow, fruiting trees and wildflower gardens stretch out before you. “It’s ideal for someone looking to create a family compound, either as a full-time home or a weekend home, who wants privacy, space and convenience,” she adds.
The property is close to some of the region’s top-tier schools (public and private), shopping, restaurants and what Sassower describes as the
“iconic Westchester town” of Harrison.
