Experience a new way of life. Welcome to 318 Titicus Road, a contemporary retreat perched on top of the hill of a 5.2 Acre forest land adjacent... to the Hammond Museum-- where regional artists display seasonal exhibitions -- and to the 3.5-acre Japanese Stroll Gardens offering a serene heaven for reflection, inspiration, culture enrichment, and nature-art contemplation. Right next door, is the Open Land Preserve dedicated to maintaining the wellbeing of environmentally sensitive plants and animals, and the ecology of water resources for the area. North Salem is a town the size of Manhattan, 24 square miles, located within 45 miles from Grand Central, and with direct access to I-684 or via two MTA train stations, Croton Falls and Purdy's. The town is not only enchanting, but it enjoys devoted community management and services, and it is located within an easy commute to New York City and lower Westchester.

About the home:
The residence itself combines modern-industrial architectural features such as its elevation, the tall double pillars above the living room's fireplace direct your view to the outdoors as you enter. Its exposed industrial high beamed ceilings framed by lower and upper windows help to incorporate the landscape into the living spaces, plus the multiple skylights, wooden flooring, and the mix of materials such as wood, stone and metal play contrast with the home's open layout, thus creating the perfect atmosphere for lightness, simplicity and effortless living at each of the two main levels plus the finished basement. There are a total of three wood-burning fireplaces (3), four ample bedrooms (4), four full bathrooms (4), a finished basement with a bedroom, a full bathroom with a tub, and exercise room, plus two enclosed car garage spaces (2). Right outside your door, a Japanese style lattice wood fencing encircles a custom built stone pool with heating capabilities. The pool is again surrounded by grown-trees and lush gardens, making your swimming breather truly comforting, and invigorating. The garden features stone fencing, curated sculptures, and grown precious wood trees with bird nests, and wildflowers all around.
The home's first level has an entry foyer framed by a wide window, a closet, a sitting room, and a study office sharing the spacious bathroom on this level. This bathroom offers a skylight vent allowing light and fresh air throughout. Next is the living room with its graceful 30' high ceilings exposing industrial grade wooden beams adding an industrial charm to the modern interior spaces; the living room offers a wood burning fireplace, large lower and upper windows, and sliding glass doors leading you to the outdoors, and into your own wrap around deck designed for contemplating the ever changing seasonal views, grilling, reading, exercising, or doing nothing. The dining area features two skylights capturing the space with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen and the entertainment/lounge rooms have another wood burning fireplace, plus several openable windows overlooking the pool and the flowering trees right outside. The layout is flexible, so feel free to use each room as you wish.
The second floor spotlight is a wide sundeck, just grab a book from the hallway library, and enjoy the serene sunsets from here. The private-rear-primary bedroom has ample closets, several openable windows with different exposures, sitting space, and a third wood burning fireplace. The main bathroom has a stall shower, a Jacuzzi, and its own skylight vent, plus a garden/pool area view. The front and middle bedroom on this level share a spacious bathroom featuring a skylight vent letting light and air filtering through.
