About the Listing COMPNY17 - 33561

Villa Cheri reveals itself slowly, with intention. You arrive into a grand reception hall where a working fireplace anchors the space and French glass doors draw your eye immediately to the water beyond. Light reflects off stone floors warmed by radiant heat, and the original wrapping staircase rises gracefully overhead, a reminder that this is a home with history, presence, and soul. From here, the residence unfolds in a series of beautifully connected rooms. The formal dining room, rich with original moldings, opens naturally toward the kitchen and outdoor patios, creating an effortless setting for elegant sit-down dinners and long, lingering evenings. Across the hall, an inviting sitting room with fireplace and a moody billiards lounge offer distinct yet complementary spaces for both casual gatherings and refined entertaining. At the center of the home, the kitchen is warm, commanding, and designed for those who truly love to cook. Waterfall countertops, bespoke Le Rhone ash cabinetry, a custom 94-inch L’Atelier Pro range, and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances set an international standard, while walls of glass keep the water ever present. Open to the kitchen, a cozy family room with fireplace and deep seating becomes the natural heart of daily life. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat above the shoreline. A sitting area and marble-surround fireplace create a sense of calm, while the bath, enveloped in honed marble with a freestanding soaking tub, shower, and custom vanity, evokes the rhythm of a luxury spa. A generously sized dressing room completes the suite. Additional en-suite bedrooms throughout the home offer privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. Designed for modern living, the home also offers multiple dedicated work and wellness spaces. A first-floor library provides a classic home-office setting, while the third floor hosts two private studies alongside a gym, yoga studio, and a full spa suite with massage room, sauna, and steam shower, creating a true retreat within the residence. The living experience extends seamlessly to the fully finished lower level, which contributes more than 2,700 square feet to the home’s total square footage. This level is thoughtfully integrated into the overall design and includes a temperature-controlled wine room with tasting area, recreation lounge, and home theater, offering intimate spaces for entertaining and unwinding that mirror the craftsmanship found throughout the main living areas. Outdoors, expansive patios and terraces draw you toward the shoreline. Manicured lawns lead to a heated gunite pool, covered seating areas, and a deep-water dock with boat launch, allowing life here to flow naturally between home, garden, and water. Privately set just beyond the village of Larchmont, Villa Cheri offers the rare balance of seclusion and accessibility, moments from shops, dining, and the train, with Manhattan always within reach. More than a waterfront estate, Villa Cheri is a place designed to be lived in fully, where architecture, setting, and daily life align in quiet, enduring elegance along the shores of the Long Island Sound.
