Elegance and charm define this sprawling residence, built in 1998 in the style of a grand turn of the century manor. Boasting a fabulous pool, the country setting is in the prestigious 1500-acre enclave of Conyers Farm, which spans North Castle, NY and Greenwich, CT.

Armonk is first northern Westchester suburb that has a genuine country feeling. Its 
rolling hills and sweeping vistas suggest a bucolic retreat from the hustle and bustle. Homes are sited on large parcels of land that give their owners privacy and solitude. Yet 15 minutes from Armonk is the hub of White Plains and shopping at The Westchester. To the north and a 10 minute drive is Mt. Kisco, with shopping and restaurants. Express trains from the North White Plains Metro-North station take you to Grand Central Station, total commute time is less than an hour.
Armonk also has a thriving corporate population, namely IBM’s 25 acre corporate headquarters, and SwissRe US headquarters. Employees keep local retailers busy and most importantly, Armonk’s substantial corporate tax base keeps residential property taxes lower than other towns in Westchester.
Shopping
Main Street in Armonk is home to Hickory and Tweed, a venerable name that has for decades properly clothed residents for outdoor pursuits. Francophile shoppers love to browse at La Dentelliere which offers European linens, housewares and accessories while Table D’Hote has an eclectic selection of tabletop and glassware from around the world.
Restaurants
Armonk’s restaurant scene includes Kira Sushi and Made in Asia for Japanese, David Chen for Chinese and Gavi, Opus 465 and Marc Charles Steakhouse for meat eaters.
