DESCRIPTION

The artistry of coole park is in the way it unfolds from the center.  Two gracious wings on either side of the original 1888 house create an architectural triptych that conveys elegance and comfort in equal measure.  Warm wide board floors, soaring french doors, six working fireplaces, and numerous demi-lune windows create a sense of space and style as well as history.  To the right of the entryway, three graciously proportioned sitting rooms that flow into one another create a single large living space with two fireplaces.  The kitchen, with its own fireplace, is worthy of an accomplished chef and offers ample dining space.  Stone countertops, cherry cabinets, and a butler’s pantry gives this focal point the gravitas and warmth it deserves.  In the formal dining room, a corner fireplace and a row of large windows invite light and warmth regardless of season.  The library with its brick fireplace is a stunning oasis that opens into a sunny room that can be an office, reading nook, or indoor garden.  Four bedrooms on the second floor include a primary suite, two bedrooms with shared hall bath, and an en suite guest room.  The primary suite includes a spacious sitting room, a tremendous closet with copious built-in drawers and cabinets, and a lovely new bathroom with heated marble floors and a large walk-in shower.  A beautiful room in this wing is currently used as a gymnasium, with views of the sprawling grounds through a delightful triangular window.  On the third floor, a large guest room with sitting area has its own hall bath.  The basement contains a climate-controlled wine cellar, a large laundry room with sink, and a storage room with rows of built-in closets.  The grounds of coole park seem to extend as far as the distant horizon, a sea of uninterrupted green.  At the back of the house there are numerous porches, some covered, with views of the gardens, pool, pool house, and tennis court.  An organically designed gunite pool imitates the shape of a natural pond and is surrounded by a fieldstone patio.  The pool house with bathroom and kitchenette provides for those who need shade.  A two-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with an open plan living room-kitchen is attached to the garage.  Your vision and personal touches will turn coole park into a glorious gem in a very private setting, just minutes from the village of millbrook.
