Given today’s dangerous real estate market , it makes me a bit nervous to see a newly constructed home over 20,000 square feet hit the market. This one in Stony Point, New York is a real humdinger. It is luxury on a grand scale with monumental double-height rooms. It has full-house automated lighting ,security cameras and an audio/video Creston system. The main home includes a cherry wood library, office, billiard room, gym, wine cellar, 21-seat theater and a four-stop elevator. There is also a 3800 square foot carriage home which is attached to the main home via covered breezeway and underground tunnel and a 2800 square-foot pool home giving the entire property ten bedrooms total.
