Welcome home to this stunning 1956 mid-century modern raised ranch in the desirable Newstead neighborhood. This turnkey home pairs distinctive original architecture with oversized rooms, meticulous updates, and high-end finishes throughout. Situated on a private .67-acre lot, with five bedrooms, four full and two half bathrooms, this luxurious home is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Features include winter views of the New York City glittering skyline, a three-car attached garage, a cabana, an in-ground heated saltwater pool, and over 5,300 square feet of living space.
A grand foyer opens to a sunken living room, where a dramatic wall of windows frame the backyard beyond a signature mid-century gesture that has been preserved exactly as designed, with a seamless connection between the interior and the landscape it was built to showcase. The family room features original built-ins, a wet bar, a wood burning fireplace, and direct access to the patio, making it as suited to a quiet evening as it is to hosting a crowd. The elegant dining room, enhanced by new bowed windows, easily accommodates large gatherings, while the eat-in kitchen blends vintage character with everyday functionality and convenient access to the laundry room.
Two separate bedroom wings offer flexibility and privacy. On one side is the primary suite, a private retreat with serene backyard views, a dressing room outfitted with California Closets, and a fully renovated bath with radiant floor heating and custom cabinetry. A second en suite bedroom on this side doubles easily as a home office. The upstairs wing offers three additional bedrooms, an en suite bath, and a separate hall bath, ideal for family, guests, or multigenerational living. The finished lower level adds an expansive recreation room and generous storage, rounding out a floor plan built for the way people actually live today.
Outside, the fenced backyard is a private oasis: a heated saltwater pool, mature landscaping, and a lighted patio create a setting for both quiet mornings and long summer evenings. The cabana, recently upgraded with new tile, a new shower, and a new pool heater makes poolside living effortless. The patio, stairs, retaining walls, and landscape lighting were fully reimagined in 2020, and the pool itself was newly fenced in 2025 for safety and peace of mind.
Behind the scenes, this is a home where every essential system has already been addressed. Upgrades include a whole-house backup generator, a two-zone heating and cooling system under continuous service contract, upgraded 200-amp electric service, three sump pumps paired with a French drain system to manage water proactively, new water heaters, and an indoor/outdoor sound system that carries music from the family room to the pool. In 2026 alone, four bathrooms throughout the home were fully renovated with new tile, fixtures, and hand-made custom cabinetry, and the garage doors were replaced. This kind of documented, decades-long stewardship is rare to find, and even rarer to find paired with architecture this distinctive.
Ideally located just one block from the New York City jitney stop, 200 Crestwood Drive offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, established residential setting in one of Newstead's most desirable pockets, with an effortless commute into Manhattan.
