THE PLACE: Nestled in the ravines and gardens of Hogg’s Hollow, this 1926 property handsomely mixes old-world appeal with modern comforts. It features original glass cabinets in the dining room, five wood-burning fireplaces and a grand staircase, while the modern kitchen, integrated sound system and in-floor heating offer contemporary touches.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: The truly enormous walk-in closet is perfect for anyone with a Carrie Bradshaw streak or the patience to wait for yesteryear’s fashion to come back in style.

BIG SELLING POINT: The multi-room man cave on the lower level. The hunter-green games room—complete with pool table, beanbag chairs and fireplace—is flanked by a 2,000-bottle wine cellar and an exercise room (with steam bath).

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The panoply of jewel tones—cobalt, ruby, amethyst, aquamarine—may not be to every buyer’s taste.
