This Millbrook estate is an elegant entertainer’s paradise.

Its provenance proves its worth: It was once home to EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards) winner Marvin Hamlisch. Dating back to 1900, the property has a main building and four barns on 40-plus acres.

The main house exudes tradition, from its whitewashed exterior to this plaid-and-wainscot foyer. A cushioned window seat offers a comfy spot to don or shed outerwear.

The dining room showcases dark hardwoods from the ceiling to the floor. An imposing stone fireplace commands attention next to rustic, built-in shelving contrasting with delicate oversized windows on an opposite wall.

Original, hand-hewn ceiling beams support pot racks in the kitchen. A huge slab of slate forms a center island, into which is carved a prep sink. Storage drawers and a beverage cooler fill the sides of the island, while a bank of cabinetry along one wall offers a workspace, a main sink, and a chef’s gas range.

This family room is brighter than the previous two rooms, with white, built-in cupboards and shelves and a brick-lined fireplace surrounded by a white mantel.

The living room, too, has white walls and honey-toned, wide-plank flooring. The fireplace has a black surround.

One of two half-baths is reminiscent of Ralph Lauren’s trademark green and gold, with white wainscoting breaking up the dark green.

The property has a total of six bedrooms. This one has a pitched ceiling, finished with dark beams.

This one, too, sports dark ceiling beams, plus a bullseye window above the bed.

This bedroom is minimalistic but bright with oversized windows and what looks like an ensuite bath. The brick-lined fireplace is gorgeous, too.

All this, and convenience, too: It’s just over a mile from here to Millbrook Vineyards & Winery, for a tasty cab franc. The estate is built for a crowd; be prepared to shell out $6,750,000 if you want to fill its rooms with your fam.
