Description
Approached via a bucolic, tree-lined private lane--perhaps one of the most picturesque in the Village of Lloyd Harbor, and ending on the shores of Cold Spring Harbor--this exceptional estate is a true standout. At the heart of the property is a stately 6,000+ sq. ft. Tudor mansion - classic in its architecture yet outfitted with today's luxe fixtures & amenities. The home beckons to a bygone era, as it was originally constructed over a century ago, at the onset of the Roaring 20s--a time when summer estates dotted Long Island's north shore. Driving through the gated entry, you arrive at a pavered motor court, framed by expertly designed landscaping. An extensive renovation between 2014 and 2020, partially by renowned firm Kean Development, yielded a beautiful product. Entry via a traditional vestibule provides access to a gracious foyer and focal point staircase, indicative of the period of construction. The kitchen features a suite of Miele, Wolf, & Liebherr professional-grade appliances, and a bonus - a full-service "butler's pantry," inclusive of a second full fridge & full-sized wine fridge, a second dishwasher & sink, and extensive cabinetry. A sunroom with walls of windows overlooking the pool & patio, a banquet-sized formal dining room & 650 sq ft formal living room, multiple options for an in-home library/study, 2 back staircases, and 3 fireplace are all hallmarks of an era of elegance. Wainscoting, dentil crown moldings, coffered & beamed ceilings, and herringbone & inlaid hardwood floors are consistent throughout, as are abundant windows & multiple sets of French doors - all of which bring the natural beauty of the surrounding property to the interior and maintain a fantastically airy feeling. The primary suite wing spans an impressive 1,000 square feet, inclusive of generous vaulted sleeping quarters, 4 outfitted walk-in closets, and a contemporary bathroom with luxe Euro-style fixtures & dual shower. An additional 600 sq. ft. bonus room can play host to any number of options--game room, theatre room, home gym, or guest space, with its separate exterior entrance. Four additional bedrooms, fully revamped bathrooms, fully outfitted walk-in closets, and a large, full-service laundry room round out the second level. The two separate basements and a three car garage all offer expanded living and workspace. Enveloped in three acres of lush, curated grounds, the estate offers near-total privacy, enhanced by specimen plantings, landscape lighting, and intricate masonry work. Envision summer fun in the heated saltwater gunite pool or a match on the revamped tennis court (which doubles as a full-court basketball court). A separate pool house offers a full kitchenette, full bathroom, and lounge. Multiple patio areas, both covered and uncovered and totaling to thousands of square feet, an outdoor kitchen, and a gas fire pit are all present. Additional noteworthy features include a Generac generator, a full-house water filtration system, major upgrades to HVAC systems, an updated roof, and updated, quality Andersen windows. The Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor, with its minimum 2-acre zoning, miles of shoreline fronting various harbors and the LI Sound, & private police force, is a North Shore sanctuary. Residents are afforded exclusive access to a village beach & park, docking, and mooring rights, along with close proximity (5-minute drive from Banbury) to Lloyd Neck's Caumsett Park & Target Rock Preserve, offering biking, equestrian trails, fishing, birdwatching, hiking, and winter activities. In contrast, the vibrancy of Huntington Village, locally coined Long Island's "Little Apple," is just a 6-minute drive, with dozens of options for some of the best dining on Long Island, many shopping options from big-box grocery stores to boutiques, premier entertainment & nightlife, & cultural/historical attractions. Lloyd Harbor students attend the famed Cold Spring Harbor school district.
