Summer Saturdays at Philipsburg Manor: Event Lineup

Set against the backdrop of this significant National Historic Landmark, Summer Saturdays blend education with entertainment, offering a way for families to connect with the region’s rich history—one interactive experience at a time.

Inside, a dramatic double-height foyer introduces a series of elegant spaces, including formal living and dining rooms, a richly paneled library with wet bar, and a gourmet eat-in kitchen with a butler’s pantry and fireplace. Throughout the home’s 19 rooms, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and eight fireplaces create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.

The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring dual bathrooms, oversized walk-in closets, a dressing room, and a romantic sitting room with a balcony overlooking the wooded grounds. Six additional bedrooms provide ample accommodations for family and guests.

The lower level features a home theater, fitness center, fireplace lounge, wet bar, and a wellness wing featuring an indoor resistance pool, spa, sauna, and full bath. Outside, expansive terraces overlook level lawns, mature trees, and a beautiful pool and spa.

Combining the security of a 24-hour guard-gated enclave with the amenities of a private club, this remarkable estate delivers country-house living at its most refined.

Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac on four acres in Katonah at 2 Barry Court, this fully reimagined modern estate delivers a rare blend of architectural scale and resort-style ease just one hour from Manhattan. Spanning more than 8,000 square feet, the interiors are both dramatic and livable—from a light-filled two-story foyer to elegantly proportioned formal rooms and a true chef’s kitchen designed for gathering, which flows into a vaulted family room centered on a stone fireplace.

The primary suite is its own retreat, complete with dual custom dressing rooms, spa-caliber baths, and a serene sitting room with fireplace. A walk-out lower level adds exceptional versatility, complemented by a 4-car garage. Outside, a newly unveiled pool and entertaining compound anchors the property: a heated saltwater Gunite pool, expansive bluestone terraces, and a pool house with full bath and laundry elevate long summer weekends into a private resort experience.
