This property is on the market for $6,495,000, listed with Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty. 

The Chicago-based architect David Adler is renowned for his elegant European style estates built at the beginning of the 20th century, primarily in the American midwest. 

This country house set on a lush 2.12 acre estate near Rye, NY was built for Benjamin and Hazel Nields in 1915. Adler was influenced by the Petit Trianon at Versailles when building this private residence, according to the Rye Historical Society. 

The  7,450 square foot residence has 7 bedrooms and 5+2 bathrooms, featuring incredible detail throughout with intricate moldings and murals, its grand rooms featuring soaring ceilings, French doors, and wood-burning fireplaces. 

The residence has been updated over the years, yet maintains much of the original Adler magic.

The professionally landscaped gardens and attractive pool enhance the property’s idyllic atmosphere, with the village of Rye and its attractions and amenities just a short walk away—the Metro North train station gets you to Manhattan in 45 minutes. 

A truly rare and historic estate.
