After philanthropist David Rockefeller died last year, his estate put his New York City townhouse and house on Mount Desert Island in Maine on the market. His country house outside Manhattan followed and the property sold on February 28 for $33 million, according to its listing—50 percent over its $22-million asking price. Scroll down for a look inside.
The house is set on 75 acres in Pocantico Hills in Westchester County.
It was designed in 1938 by noted architect Mott B. Schmidt, who's also responsible for the home that is now Donald Trump's Bedminster Golf Club.
The main residence includes 11 bedrooms and 12 full bathrooms with 11,000 square feet of living space.
David Rockefeller and his wife, Peggy, raised their six children between their New York City townhouse and this house in the country.
It's about a mile from Kykuit, John D. Rockefeller's property that's now open to the public.
The front hall features a floating staircase.
There's also an elevator that provides access to the second floor.
The living room has views of a sweeping lawn outside along with the Hudson River.
The dining room also overlooks the surrounding countryside.
The library has a carved fireplace and a separate office with its fireplace and full bathroom.
The master wing includes a private balcony and dual dressing room with fitted closets.
The gardens evoke those of England's famous Capability Brown.
The grounds also include a heated pool, helipad, playhouse, carriage house, three-bedroom gatehouse, three greenhouses, and a six-stall barn.
And just in time for apple-picking season, the listing notes, there's a "mature apple orchard."
At 101, David Rockefeller was the world's oldest billionaire when he died last year.
