120 Scarborough Road

Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510

Tucked between the towns of Mount Pleasant and Ossining, Briarcliff Manor is a leafy Northern Westchester village stretching from Scarborough hamlet, on-Hudson, to the hills above the Pocantico River. It’s an easy sprint from the city, on Metro-North, and a natural fit for nature-lovers: There’s 170 miles of parkland here, from a plethora of soccer fields and sandy baseball diamonds to Hardscrabble Wilderness Area, filled with miles of meandering trails. Emporiums of handcrafted home goods and gift baskets, plump with local provisions, dot the brick sidewalks of downtown, punctuated with planter boxes and bistro tables. Colonials cocooned in front porches coexist in intimate neighborhoods with geometrically-intriguing Mid-Mods, enlivening Briarcliff’s snail-shaped borders with personality. The paved 22-mile North County Trail cuts past the Tudor library, once a train station, and the fish-filled waters by the current one in Scarborough invite you to cast a line.
