This $4.9 million new-construction Old Westbury home sits on two acres with a pool and elevator

Posted

A newly built Old Westbury estate at 26 St. Andrews Court is on the market for $4,895,000. The five-bedroom, all-brick home sits on two acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Village of Old Westbury. It returned to the market Oct. 13 after an earlier listing at $5.5 million. It is listed by Maria Babaev of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, according to the OneKey MLS listing.

Built for entertaining

Soaring ceilings and expansive windows fill the house with light, and the open floor plan flows from formal living and dining rooms into a family room with a fireplace. The chef’s kitchen has two islands, a wine refrigerator and a butler’s pantry for staging dinner parties. Radiant heat runs through the floors.

Upstairs, the bedroom suites include a primary retreat with a custom dressing room, a spa-style bath and a Juliet balcony overlooking the grounds. One bedroom is on the main level, which works for guests or older relatives.

An elevator to every floor

An elevator serves all three levels, including a lower level with 11-foot ceilings and a separate outside entrance. That space is unfinished, according to the listing details, so a buyer could build out a gym, media room or guest suite.

Smart-home technology, Lutron lighting and central vacuum come standard. The house is generator-ready and the three-car garage includes a built-in dog wash for muddy paws.

A private backyard

Out back, a gunite pool and spa are framed by premium masonry and a patio for entertaining.

The home is in the Westbury Union Free School District. Nearby public schools include Powells Lane School, 0.7 mile away; Westbury Middle School, 1 mile away; and Westbury High School, 0.6 mile away, according to ATTOM school-boundary data on Coldwell Banker’s listing page. Annual property taxes are listed at $33,797.
