This exceptional 5.5-acre property is located in the Village of Lattingtown, NY on the North Shore of Long Island, approximately 35 miles from Manhattan and within minutes of fine dining and shopping. The magnificence of this 8-bedroom Federal-style Colonial Estate is showcased by a dramatic long view quarter mile approach that culminates in a pebbled circular courtyard at the front entry of the home. Originally built in 1898, this residence was completely renovated in 2003 and reflects a fresh, young style while employing refined period details such as original mantles, old world moldings and ceiling medallions with swags and garlands, arched doorways and original hardwood floors. The 3-story central body with cedar roof and dormers is flanked by two wings creating a U-shaped footprint. The crisp white clapboard façade is dressed with black shutters. A detached 6-bay garage with cedar roof accompanies the home. Symmetry, light, proportion and scale characterize this home. The gleaming center hall welcomes guests with polished wood floors set off by an ebony Greek key border inset, elaborate moldings, a wood burning fireplace and a graceful grand staircase. The receiving room with chevron-patterned tiger’s eye hardwood floor, intricate crown molding, wood burning fireplace and large divided light windows, leads to the formal dining room. Perfect for entertaining, both the formal living and dining rooms are large in scale and feature ornamental details, wood burning fireplaces as well as floor to ceiling windows and French doors that open to a broad red brick terrace that spans the back of the home.
THE FINER DETAILS A sophisticated media room boasts both upholstered and venetian plaster walls, a gas fireplace with antique French mantle and a custom temperature controlled black lacquer wine closet, creating lovely ambiance in the room. The elegant kitchen has three zones designed for entertaining. The chef ’s area features state-of-the-art appliances, stone countertops, a French ceramic tile backsplash and island. The dining area has a fireplace and butler’s pantry. A large light-filled elliptical window is an architectural delight that is in keeping with the home’s Federal style.
