Property Description
Step into the storied elegance of this distinguished Colonial estate originally built circa 1835 and beautifully restored for modern living. Once home to Brigadier General C.H. Carlton, and noted actor Frank Daniels, this iconic residence offers a rare blend of timeless architecture, luxurious updates, and historical charm across 5,759 square feet of refined space.
Set on nearly an acre of fully fenced, professionally landscaped grounds, Bright Bank offers peace and privacy with mature trees (including American Sycamores and Japanese Maples), perennial gardens, and stone walls—just a short walk to Rye's vibrant downtown, train station, schools, and beaches.
The gracious main level features 10' ceilings, a dramatic 15' central staircase, serene formal living room and library with a dramatic double-sided fireplace, a sun-filled dining room with terrace access, and a charming music alcove. The chef's kitchen boasts Piatra Grey Quartz countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, two Bosch dishwashers, and an expansive Calcutta marble center island—flowing seamlessly into a spacious family room with double French doors to the rear deck and backyard entertaining area complete with a gazebo. A quiet and private Home Office completes the first floor.
Upstairs, the serene primary suite includes a sunroom, a spa-like bath, and a walk-in Elfa closet. Four additional bedrooms and four full bathrooms offer space and flexibility for family and guests. A large bright Laundry room with folding table is conveniently located near the bedrooms. . The spacious finished third floor features a fun billiards area plus lots of extra space with potential for home gym, bedrooms, playroom, or studio.
The lower basement level retains some impressive original 1800s elements and offers generous storage and mechanical rooms, while the oversized attached 2-car garage accommodates additional gear.
At the front of the property, the original barn—complete with historic horse tie rings and a vintage Augustus Van Wyck campaign poster—offers endless possibilities as a studio, guest house, or collector's garage. The rear property faces South and enjoys sun from dawn to dusk. The expansive rear deck, seating gazebo and rear/side lawn are an entertainers paradise, perfect for cozy family evenings or large scale entertaining, sports and backyard playtime.
Bright Bank is not just a home—it's a legacy of craftsmanship, character, and quiet grandeur in one of Westchester's most desirable towns. History meets luxury—don't miss out on this iconic home. Schedule your showing before it's too late!
