COTTONWOOD OLD BROOKVILLE, NEW YORK
Just 25 miles east of Manhattan, the Incorporated Village of Old Brookville is located on the North Shore of Long Island within the Town of Oyster Bay. This scenic and peaceful village is known for its rich history, natural beauty, luxurious estates and proximity to sandy beaches.
A long and beautifully landscaped drive graced by mature specimen trees arrives at a manicured courtyard that welcomes arrival to the masterfully designed five-bedroom residence that is perfectly set on 3.84 secluded acres. Masses of flowering perennials, limelight hydrangea trees, rhododendron, pink roses and boxwood frame the walkway that leads to the front entry. Crowned by a cedarshake roof with varying lines that add interest, the residence’s natural shingleclad façade has eye-catching details and texture. Crisp white trim highlights the gables, dormers, windows and groupings of French doors that open onto expansive low-walled terraces with areas for relaxing and al fresco dining. Two crepe myrtle trees with deep pink blossoms frame the steps that lead to broad lush lawns, gardens and the sparkling swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor shower and stunning pool house. The heated saltwater gunite swimming pool was rebuilt in 2020.
This gracious residence has a sophisticated Hamptons-inspired sensibility with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living and a plan with wonderful flow for today’s luxurious lifestyle. Completely rebuilt in 2019 under the design direction of McDonough & Conroy Architects PC, the residence has beautifully proportioned principal rooms dressed with clean-lined finishes, moldings and millwork. Oriented to the south, these rooms are bathed in natural light through windows and groupings of French and slider doors that form walls of glass. The entire main floor opens to expansive terraces and resplendent gardens designed by landscape architect, David R. Lamb, ASLA. An effortless ease is achieved through cohesive materials and sophisticated design. Refined wallcoverings are by Phillip Jefferies Ltd, and lighting fixtures are by Restoration Hardware. Wide plank rift and quartered white oak flooring runs throughout the main level.
