Fashion designer Kenneth Cole’s longtime home, which is 35 miles from New York City, was the setting for the 1969 romantic comedy/drama “Goodbye, Columbus,” starring Ali MacGraw and Richard Benjamin.

Cole and his wife, Maria, bought the property in 1991 for $2.8 million, according to property records, and raised their family there. They restored and updated the residence and its grounds over the past 30 years.

“It’s unique because it’s the largest parcel in lower Westchester,” said Patricia L. Hirsch of Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty, who has the listing with colleague Susan McDonnell as well as Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich. “The house is a magnificent Colonial that has a gated entry and that’s reached via a long meandering drive.”

She noted that because the house is elevated, “every room has magnificent views of the gardens, which are breathtaking. And it has the most wonderful kitchen, which the Coles designed and updated.”

Set on over 14 acres, the three-floor 11,792-square-foot country manor, which dates to 1890, has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and four half bathrooms.

The rolling lawns are landscaped with mature perennials that bloom year-round. Primary features include a fenced saltwater pool and patio, a five-hole putting green, pickleball, basketball and tennis courts, a meditation garden, and a 1-acre freshwater pond stocked with koi and carp. A half-mile jogging path that passes weeping willows, hydrangeas, stone walls, a gazebo and a life-size dollhouse, encircles the property.

The house has two living rooms, one of which opens to a covered veranda; the formal dining room can seat a dinner party of 80; and the kitchen has a pair of La Cornue ranges, a hammered copper and wood island, and a breakfast area. The primary bedroom has two en-suite bathrooms, two walk-in closets and two private balconies. In addition to an expansive third-floor playroom, the house has two saunas and a mudroom that opens to a two-car garage and a separate golf-cart garage whose club car is included in the sale. There also is a four-car garage with a carport.

Purchase, a hamlet in Westchester County’s town of Harrison, is a residential community of primary homeowners that’s surrounded by golf courses.

Its central location—in addition to being a short commute from Manhattan, it’s close to the Westchester County Airport, the town center of Rye and the heart of White Plains—makes it highly desirable, McDonnell said.
