65 Salem Rd Pound, Ridge, NY 10576 listing details

The Azuba Raymond House, built around 1800 and now a designated landmark, sits harmoniously on its half-acre in the rolling, wooded, rustic/elegant town of Pound Ridge. Its first-floor keeping room, which has its own private patio, features the original fireplace of rough-dressed stone and fieldstone, and the room's heavy hand-hewn beams are echoed throughout the entire original structure. Other vintage-farmhouse features include wide-planked floors, custom cabinets, and antique doors. The seven rooms also include a formal dining room, a sun-flooded living room with fireplace, and a country kitchen. The first floor room has been used as an office, a den and a third bedroom. There is, additionally, a bathroom on each of the house's three floors. The property is enclosed by artisan stone walls. A rear deck looks out on woodlands beautiful in every season. The area is studded with lakes, ponds, and nature preserves. Less than a mile away is the 4700-acre Ward Pound Ridge Reservation with its extensive equestrian and hiking trails, bicycling, and cross-country skiing. Little farther afield are the Katonah Museum of Art and the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. Manhattan is an hour's train ride from nearby stations in Mt. Kisco, New York and New Canaan, Connecticut, or an hour's drive largely on Interstate 684.
