From the Agent: "This home presents modern luxury in the very first building in historic Tuxedo Park: the Hunting Lodge, which was founded in 1886 and built by Pierre Lorillard as a hunting preserve. It was designated in 1980 to the National Register. Set on over two acres, this 3,600-square-foot home has three (possibly four) bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and three fireplaces. It was lovingly renovated and is sited on a gentle rise with a sweeping front lawn, offering incredible privacy. A Tesla charger, central air-conditioning, new appliances, a new cedar roof, and copper flashing integrate new-world with old-world charm. In addition, a potting shed completes the already inspiring residence. The Hunting Lodge is an outstanding full-time home or weekend getaway."

The historic residence sits on a secluded site, surrounded by tall trees.
