"In 2014, Ian Schrager was living at 40 Bond and working with Herzog & de Meuron to build his "tough lux" boutique condo - think concrete floors and sharp lines - at 215 Christye. So perhaps it came as a surprise when the nightlife impresario turned hotelier bought a fussy Westchester estate for $4.9 million. But then again, he had reason to want a retreat: The Studio 54 founder had leapt to a career inventing and perfecting the boutique hotel with his buddy Philip Starck."
"The five-bedroom, 4.5-bath Bedford Corners estate was built in 1936 but looks like it could play the home of a Founding Father in a prestige drama. There are high columns crawling with ivy, nearly 12 acres of rolling lawns, teensy windows with teensy shutters, and a diminutive pool house that apes a fairy-tale cottage. (How very un-Schrager.) The listing, which includes Schrager's pedigree, says the family renovated the year they bought, with an overhaul that shows "a seamless use of natural textures and muted tones.""
Ian Schrager bought a fussy Westchester estate in Bedford Corners for $4.9 million and later listed it for $7.5 million. The 1936 five-bedroom, 4.5-bath property sits on nearly 12 acres with ivy-covered columns, small shutters, rolling lawns, and a diminutive pool house. The family renovated the house the year they bought it, favoring natural textures, muted tones, and restrained, sleek furnishings. Schrager, now almost 80, has been selling other properties while remaining active in hotel ventures. He continues to devote energy to building out The Public and seeks to create something unique.
