For $6.9M, this Scarsdale mansion is a true 21st-century estate

A Westchester County estate may signify a certain level of achievement, but it can also signal a retreat from the rhythm of modern life. With a pool, gym, wine room, and endless entertaining and play space, this contemporary mansion is more luxury resort than country castle–modern life included. Asking $6,875,000, the Scarsdale property is sufficiently estate-like on the outside. Inside, 21st-century best-ofs like smart-home technology and a geothermal heating and cooling system power nearly 10,000 square feet of living space with six bedrooms.
