About this property

Ary-Brynn: A luxury villa in Manhattan's backyard. This enchanting 1890 villa rests in the fabled gated community of Tuxedo Park, just 45 minutes from Manhattan. Originally built for Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, this landmark restoration sits high above Big Tuxedo Lake, offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the majestic lake and mountain climes, from every window, and its three grand verandas. A rare blend of Gilded Age craftsmanship and modern comfort, the home features a Stanford White-inspired interior with soaring ceilings and a graceful flow that brings natural light into the home from dawn to dusk. The main level offers a grand parlor and foyer, a custom mahogany library with wet bar, an elegant granite kitchen, dining conservatory, powder room, and a sun-drenched Cuban sanctuary with sweeping lake and mountain views. The sweeping staircase leads to a gallery of four spacious bedrooms and an oak-paneled library with cocktail veranda. The primary suite features a private sitting room and opens to its own veranda overlooking the lake. Exposed beams stretch along the top floor, with an additional three romantic hideaway bedrooms. The home includes four renovated granite baths with double vanities, radiant heat, a walk-in shower, and an extra-long soaking tub. The laundry room features modern appliances alongside three preserved original marble basins, with the original, one-of-a-kind 1898 clothes dryer, blending convenience with historic charm. The above-ground finished plaza level, with original hardwood floors and woodwork, is ideal for an artist's studio or home gym. Steeped in history and warmly inviting, Ary-Brynn has welcomed illustrious figures, from Mark Twain and Henry James, to Charles Spencer-Churchill and Edith Wharton. The property offers an unparalleled sense of peace, privacy, and timeless elegance, all within easy reach of the city. Ideal as a full-time residence or a refined weekend retreat, Ary-Brynn invites you to experience the extraordinary lifestyle of Tuxedo Park. Frank Lloyd Wright once observed that Nature herself was the architect of Tuxedo Park. He may well have stood on Ary-Brynn's venerable verandas for his inspiration. Tuxedo Park is where Edith Wharton and her favorite subjects, the Vanderbilts, Astors, Whitneys, Delanos, Pells and Goelets, convened for convivial dinner parties and weekend retreats, and where Presidents, governors and statesmen stopped by for tea. When Edith Wharton sought a model for her Cuban enchantress in what would prove her final novel, THE BUCCANEERS, she needed to go no further than the home of her close friend, Consuelo, after whom she would name her first daughter, Consuelo (Vanderbilt). John Singer Sergeant's portrait of the Duchess hangs in Harvard's permanent collection. During the last Gilded Age, Manhattan's super moguls lavished their affluence on their weekend retreats and estates. Tuxedo was the shining jewel a century ago and it is the best-preserved community of that fabled generation. And, yes, the tuxedo was fashioned here, a daring dinner jacket that at last cut the swallow tails from men's evening wear. The movers and shakers of Tuxedo have always been comfortable in taking the lead in American high society. Tuxedo has been home to Einstein, Emily Post, the Whitney, and Juilliard families, but it is also a place where you will see people enjoying activities in jeans and sweatshirts. Among your neighbors will be people who daily commute into the city to earn their living.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
