A Beautiful Historic Home in Mamaroneck, New York

A Mamaroneck, New York, property now on the market with Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty is simultaneously rich in history and fully updated to accommodate all of the demands of 21st-century living. The history of the property dates back to 1661 when John Richbell purchased it from the Siwanoy Indians as part of a larger parcel of land, which eventually was sold to the prominent Heathcote family. The circa-1847 had its beginning as the gardener’s cottage, part of a grand waterfront estate, and the property maintains its original Colonial-style design, but has been expanded over the years to become the spacious and stately manor that it is today. Now this elegant gem features a unique floor plan of 5,737 square feet, its walls still resonating with echoes from centuries past even as they offer every convenience for the modern homeowner.

The large and superb cook’s kitchen with separate breakfast nook is outfitted with every amenity desired by the modern chef, featuring double ovens, two dishwashers, granite counter-tops, and a butler’s pantry with its own wine refrigerator and wet bar.

A heated and terraced pool, serviced by a charming cabana, is ideal for taking swims at any time of day or night. A detached two-car garage completes the offering. One would not be remiss to refer to this property at 915 Skibo Lane as the perfect country setting for the quiet and peacefulness it has to offer.
