This $5.4M Estate in Westchester Features 11,000 Square Feet of Luxury
A cedar-shake and stone estate in one of Armonk, NY’s established enclaves has been listed for $5.4 million—and its standout room might surprise you.
The 11,000-plus square foot estate can be found on 2.3 acres at 2 Hollow Ridge Road in Armonk. It includes seven bedrooms, 8.5 baths, and was designed by Hamptons architect Val Florio and built by Legacy Construction Northeast in 2006.
The house was originally built for luxury home developer Jay Bialsky, who helped shape its design, according to listing agent Brian Milton of Compass. In an earlier Westchester Magazine feature, Bialsky described the kitchen as the center of his family’s life.
“The kitchen gives this house a real identity,” says Milton. “Rich millwork and beautifully detailed ceilings carry that craftsmanship throughout the house.”
The double-height space features a barrel-vaulted ceiling, clerestory windows, an oversized center island and a casual dining area with a fireplace. Doors lead to a stone terrace with an outdoor kitchen.
On the main floor, 10-foot ceilings give scale to a living room with a coffered ceiling and custom built-ins. There’s also a formal dining room, a study, and a guest suite.
Upstairs, an open gallery with a family room and fireplace links three en suite bedrooms with the primary suite, which is set apart for privacy. It includes a dressing room and a bath with a sculptural soaking tub and a sauna.
A back staircase from the mudroom leads to a separate wing with two more en suite bedrooms, suited to guests, staff, or extended family.
The finished walkout lower level was built for recreation with its billiards room, a wine cellar and tasting room, a media room, living room, and the nearly 1,000-square-foot home gym.
Outdoor space includes a covered porch, stone terraces, a level lawn, and a potential pool site. A new cedar roof was installed in 2026, and the home also comes with a generator and a heated three-car garage.
“This is an established neighborhood of substantial homes, close to downtown Armonk. You have restaurants, local shops, parks, a nature preserve, and community events all nearby,” says Milton.
Not to mention, the Big Apple is only 35 miles away—or 50 minutes by car with minimal traffic.
