As I look from the second floor balcony (or the kitchen, music room, second and third bedrooms, office, family room or patio for that matter), I see an endless vista of water, sun and sky. The view is calming, yet dramatic, it reflects peace, tranquility and total luxury.

Where is this view? 29 Malysana Lane in New Rochelle - that’s where you can purchase a 5 bedroom 5459 square foot home that is just 3 years new with year-round water views! Elegant custom craftsmanship and detailing describe this simply stunning home overlooking the Long Island Sound.

It is being offered at a mere $2,499,000 and yet so much is included within. A radiant heated marble floor greets you as you enter this warm and inviting home that was designed and built for comfort, family, and grand entertaining if that is your desire.

The foyer and dining room overlook the Nantucket style patio and lead to the large custom kitchen and family room. The owners upgraded the original kitchen to reflect their personal style - yet it is pleasing to all. The ten foot island with marble counter top offers large sinks (with filtering system) for those who love to cook (but let someone else clean), Viking 6 range/stove and griddle with double oven, Sub-Zero two door refrigerators. Miele Dishwasher and built-in Miele coffee maker, microwave, and all in pleasing soft hues of grey and green.

The kitchen is open to the large breakfast area and family room which overlooks the patio and has wondrous views of the Sound and beyond. The family room with its built-ins, 60” Plasma built in television, bar with granite, audio speakers, and Sub Zero wine refrigerator with a two refrigerator drawer, stone fireplace, custom made mantle with additional custom built-ins with a desk and cabinets…can you envision this?

While the home must be viewed to be appreciated, I must mention the music room with its fireplace, the office, first floor guest bedroom and bathroom (with radiant heated floor), the powder room and mudroom (with radiant heated floor).

The second floor boasts a large Master Bedroom en suite with French doors to the second floor balcony overlooking the Long Island Sound. Imagine having your breakfast served to you (why not?) and sipping your tache de thé or café au lait whilst reading the morning papers (all of your stocks went up), or sipping that evening aperitif with someone you care deeply for and listening to your favorite music through the outdoor speakers…….Yes, you can have it all…. The master bedroom en suite has a sitting area with a stone gas fireplace, decorative mantle, refrigerator and coffee maker station, Plasma TV connection, large walk-in closet and secondary storage area for those getaway suitcases, and of course, the radiant heated master bathroom floor with granite, walk-in steam shower.

There are two additional bedrooms with a large Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring radiant heated flooring and beautiful tiling from Ann Sacks that makes you think of the cool blue sea. A fourth bedroom shares the same balcony as the master bedroom and that wondrous view, of course.

The builder built a finished bonus room in the home on the second floor. It is simply listed in the plans as “finished storage” and so there is no certificate of occupancy, but the owners have utilized this space beautifully also and it is hard to state “storage!” There is an elegant hall bathroom too.

The attic is described in the plans as finished attic space…and is heat/air conditioning ready with the wiring completed for the home theatre. The current owners who have lovingly designed and perfected this home, were going to transform this large space to a wonderful media room complete with a lounging area for the younger minded, and seating for all. Additional storage can also be found here.

There is another bonus room in the basement where you will be pleasantly surprised! The laundry and wine cellar can be found there also. Central vacuuming, an alarm system, all Marvin windows, and a professionally designed lighting system are all special details that you would not find in a brand new home. The current owners have invested their energy, and design talent in making the home ready for you, the discerning buyer!

Lush foliage and perennials are just another loving touch to this spectacular home, and from the gated, private entrance to the private beach (of course!), can I say “Welcome home?”

In short (if I can state that at this point), this home is awaiting your viewing and purchasing pleasure, and in speaking about viewing…the home was featured twice on the Bloomberg Channel, and the home was also featured on the NBC Luxury TV Life Style in 2008. Perfect!
