BEDFORD, NY — If you've had your eye on Paul Shaffer's 4-bedroom Colonial on Cedar Hill Road in Bedford's Middle Patent Estate area, your chance is finally here because it is on the market for the first time in 33 years.

The listing, by Frances M. Torres of Houlihan Lawrence, describes the property as being "set on a sprawling private 8 acre landscape of vibrant greenery and adorned with majestic mature trees" offering a "plethora of features that exude comfortable country living."

According to the listing, the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,958-sq.-ft. house, originally built in 1968, but renovated in 2015, has an outdoor space that is a "haven of relaxation and entertainment," with a heated gunite saltwater pool, a jacuzzi, a tennis/basketball court, and a three-car garage. The interior of the house offers a fireplace, expansive windows with views of the large backyard, a finished studio with a spa-like bath and sauna, a great room with a vaulted ceiling and a wall of windows, and a library with floor-to-ceiling shelves and a rolling ladder. A chef's kitchen contains "top-of-the-line" appliances, including two ovens with a warming drawer, and a custom range hood.

Houlihan Lawrence added that "enveloped in a country setting, this property offers a peaceful sanctuary away from the bustle of city life, while remaining minutes from the charming towns of Bedford and Greenwich."

"The house has been so good to us," Shaffer told Gimme Shelter, according to the NY Post. "We raised our kids here. Now they're gone, we're empty nesters, and we have to chase them out west."
