The Newberry Estate was originally owned by J.J. Newberry, who founded the classic American five and dime chain J.J. Newberry’s. The chain opened its first store in 1911 and by the time of Newberry’s death, owned and operated 475 stores.

The home was built in 1996 by Steven Harris, who previously won the Architectural Record award for Best House of the Year as well as numerous AIA and Interior Design Best of Year awards. The residence rests on 5.22 acres of land bordering the Teatown Lake Reservation, the largest private nature preserve in New York State.

The custom-built passive-solar home features bright airy, interior spaces to embrace the surrounding nature and scenic views.
