4 SUMMIT LANE, CARMEL, NY 10512 Available for the first time in 35 years, this nearly 4,000-square-foot sanctuary is situated amid an acre of level grounds screened by mature oak, magnolia, poplar and Japanese maple trees 50 miles from Times Square, but a world apart. The longtime retreat of a New York City executive couple, the gracious house has been meticulously cared-for and updated throughout the years. At the center of the two-story home is an airy, open expanse of entertaining and family rooms with 58-feet of southern exposure sunlit by bay windows and skylights: The cozy corner sunroom with working wood stove leads into the pine-paneled living room with its high-peaked, beamed ceiling and fireplace, and then to a screened dining porch with ceiling fan. The recently refurbished kitchen boasts new stainless-steel appliances and a wealth of counter and cabinet space. There is a breakfast counter on one side of the kitchen and on the other a bright, bay-windowed dining room. Two bedrooms and baths complete the first floor, including the roomy, sun-filled 530 sf master suite with its completely rebuilt skylit bathroom, walk-in closet and office alcove. The loft-like upstairs has two substantial bedrooms, a central living room/play area, a full bath and a wealth of storage. The back of the house features a sprawling, wraparound cedar deck built for get-togethers. Central heat and air-conditioning are provided by two forced-air HVAC systems augmented by four new Mitsubishi split systems and backed up by a 20KW whole-house generator. Key features you might not fully appreciate until you live in the house are the spacious, attached two-car garage, the dry basement with built-in cabinetry, the mudroom with storage for coats and gear, and a finished and heated 480 sf upstairs loft space suitable for a playroom, extra bedroom or storage. Purchase of 4 Summit Road requires a membership in the Gipsy Trail Club, an 1,100-acre community of woodlands, trails and recreational facilities surrounding a picturesque mountain lake. The house is situated within an easy walk of the Club's tennis and paddle courts, stables, shooting clays range, children's camp, beach and dining room.
