126 McLain Street, Bedford Corners, NY 10549

Set on nearly three acres in Bedford, this circa 1800 Federal-period home was taken down to its original frame and rebuilt entirely new: every system, every surface, every detail. What remains is the architecture: the symmetry, the proportion, the restraint that made Federal design endure.

Everything else is new. Inside, the details were chosen to belong. Millwork from Brent Hull's historically drawn Colonial collection holds the period proportions. Narrow-plank oak floors are laid as they would have been two centuries ago. Then the house gives you what no house of 1800 could: five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath and walk-i

n closet, a primary suite with a private sitting room, a second-floor laundry, and tall ceilings that carry light deep into the home. The kitchen is the center of the house, with custom cabinetry in a quiet period palette, an Italian range with brass burners set against a full-height marble backsplash, and a butler's pantry alongside for entertaining.

Beyond the doors, a saltwater pool and bluestone terrace sit quietly behind old stone walls. Everything one would rather not think about is new: central heat pump systems, plumbing and electrical, the septic system, and the well pump. The past where you see it, the present where you live it. A few minutes from Bedford Village and an easy drive to the Mount Kisco train. A new home wearing two centuries of character.
