Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have downsized to a 12,000 square foot estate called Longmeadow. The property is located in the historic village of Irvington, New York, on 12 acres of land. Built in 1929, the home comes exquisitely appointed with the finest custom features throughout. Grand and elegant formal rooms suited for entertaining, a two-storey panelled study and adjoining library with custom temperature-controlled bookcases, and a remarkable 42-foot indoor lap pool overlooking the river are just some of the features. The beautifully scaled floor plan is richly detailed and includes a front-to-back living room with a French limestone fireplace. A loggia opens onto a massive stone terrace overlooking the Hudson River. There are 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, including a large master suite with a drawing room and dressing room. Gated and enclosed, the property has enormous untapped potential for adding lifestyle amenities including an outdoor pool, tennis court, cabana, and guest cottage. The grounds come complete with mature specimen trees, lush perennials, and rolling lawns creating a park-like setting of incomparable beauty.
