39 Burton Road is a landmark residence, gracefully positioned within one of the most exclusive and prestigious enclaves in Forest Hill. Set on a rare 100x170.5 FT lot, this extraordinary estate offers appx 5,982 SF above grade plus partially renovated lower level, presenting a remarkable opportunity for both luxury living and scarcity investment. The expansive 17,000 SF grounds are nestled with a dense canopy of mature trees and exquisitely landscaped gardens that provide a private and sensational oasis. Approved severance allows two premium lots, effectively transforming one prominent residence into two and maximizing land value on one of the finest streets. The current mansion was built for an exceptional luxurious lifestyle that balances sumptuous entertaining and personal relaxation. Indulgence recreational amenities highlight an indoor saltwater pool, a circular hot tub, and a sauna that opens to a serene alfresco retreat for maximum comfort and wellness. Originally a Georgian, the mansion was reimagined by acclaimed architect Stanley Shenkman and interior designer Robert Dirstein into an epic modernist statement, defined by bold geometry, sweeping curves, and flat rooflines. Recognized for its distinctive aesthetic, once-famous black-changing-to-white exterior, the residence became a design icon after the radical redesign. Today, the home reflects a celebrated eclecticism and modernism, starring a teak paneled foyer, retro mid-century details, wall-to-wall windows and extensive use of skylights that bathed interiors with natural light. This excellent location is also known for its extreme proximity to walkable social hubs, places of worship, and top-tier schools such as UCC, BSS, Holy Rosary, St Michael's, Robbins, Bialik, Leo Baeck, Forest Hill CI and more. Rich in architectural significance and cultural character, the legendary residence is a rarity offering in a highly coveted row renowned for its affluent scale, influential prestige, and enduring grandeur.
