Step inside Tommy’s Lane, where understated architecture gives way to unforgettable design. From the curb, this timeless transitional Colonial sits quietly on just shy of two flat, sun-drenched private acres with a pool. Open the dramatic custom black glass front doors, however, and the entire experience changes. A dramatic two-story foyer introduces interiors that feel as though Restoration Hardware met a world-class luxury hotel. Sophisticated, glamorous, impeccably tailored, and unlike anything else on the market in South Salem. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully reimagined with an uncompromising eye for design, craftsmanship, and quality. Everything in the home has been redone, with the owner completing an extensive top-to-bottom renovation in 2025. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout an airy, open floor plan created for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Custom millwork, designer lighting, and bespoke finishes elevate every space, while the stunning family room is anchored by a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and a custom rich wood bar accented with elegant brass mesh detailing, functioning as both a striking focal point and a true piece of furniture. The chef’s kitchen rivals those found in substantially larger custom estates, featuring premium Sub-Zero refrigeration, a professional gas range, custom cabinetry, and dramatic two-inch-thick quartz countertops.

A full wet bar, full bathroom, abundant natural light from windows, and direct access to the garage make this level every bit as practical as it is impressive.
