Great Meadow - Centre Island, New York

G R E AT M E A D O W C E N T R E ISL A N D, N E W YOR K

L O C AT ION Surrounded by Oyster Bay and the Long Island Sound, the Village of Centre Island is located on the North Shore of Long Island’s renowned ‘Gold Coast’ within the town of Oyster Bay, New York. Approximately 32 miles from Manhattan, the area offers a lifestyle where luxurious living and the resplendent natural resources of Long Island Sound and Oyster Bay Harbor can be enjoyed.

PROPERTY Designed by the architect homeowner, “Great Meadow” was completed in 1965. Characterized by a master plan that encourages connection with the unspoiled sanctuary of nature, the home is set on 19.83 acres of meadows, old growth and specimen trees that include hickory and red oak. There is a magnificent tidal waterfront that leads to open Long Island Sound water. The residence presents oversized windows, tall French doors and soaring atriumlike pyramids of glass juxtaposed with solid design elements.

There is a delightful interplay between the outdoors and indoors. The principal rooms and broad rear brick patio are oriented to the east offering glorious sunrises and sweeping views of verdant lawns that gently slope to the water’s edge and creek beyond.

A large detached 3-car garage is adjacent to the residence.

It includes a spacious office with oversized windows and water views. There is a brick courtyard between the home and garage/office that expands the possibilities for grand outdoor entertaining.

Set in the Eastover section of Centre Island, this house is part of a homeowner’s association, with annual dues, which includes beach rights to a secluded sandy beach overlooking Lloyd Neck.

RESIDENCE Celebrated mid-century modern design elements are incorporated into the faรงade of this two-story home composed of poured concrete, brick and glass and topped by a lead coated copper roof. Emphasis is placed on horizontal lines and traditional industrial materials that culminate in a home of distinction.

Once inside, the two-story entry foyer flows into the formal living room with herringbone patterned Brazilian rosewood floor, a wood burning fireplace with gleaming clear pine mantle and three floor-to-ceiling French doors overlooking Great Meadow Creek in the distance. Like the living room, the formal dining room has a warmth gained from rich wood elements. A wall of windows and French doors opens to the rear brick patio.

The comfortable library is wrapped in handsome wood paneling. There is a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling French doors invite views of the outdoors. The eat-inkitchen is expansive and has wonderful water views through oversized windows. A laundry room is off of the kitchen. Each of the first level rooms are unified in design with waffle ceilings that feature concrete that has been poured into square forms. Each repetitive square has a light fixture that reflects light up to the ceiling.

When illuminated, each room glows with soft light. This element is continued outdoors to the broad overhang that surrounds the home, architecturally blurring the lines between the indoors and outdoors.
