32 Lookout Road, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987 - Orange County

This charming former carriage house was built for Richard Mortimer, one of the early settlers in Tuxedo Park, and his chauffeur lived on the second floor. It was converted into a proper cottage in the early 1970s and its beautiful native stone and cedar shingle faade look east to the Ramapo Mountains and is framed by a backdrop of forest and massive stone outcroppings. The stone arch portico and hipped roof over the entrance features a headstone dated 1914.

There is an easy flow from the entry foyer, to the spacious living room with wood burning fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen and pantry, and office/library. On the second floor, there is a large master suite with sitting area, dressing room and bath, and there are three additional bedrooms, a large laundry room and a second home office.

This modest home is a perfect answer to finding sanctuary, security and privacy within beautiful natural surroundings, abundant hiking trails, and three sparkling lakes, all within 50 minutes of Manhattan.
