SOIRÉE MILL NECK, NEW YORK
The timeless appeal of Long Island’s North Shore is defined by sandy beaches and tree-lined roads that wind past gracious homes and historic estates. Mill Neck is an Incorporated Village that is adjacent to quaint Locust Valley. Thirty miles east of Manhattan, it is close to fine dining, shopping, cultural arts centers, beaches and marinas.
Soirée is a magnificent 4.04-acre estate beautifully sited at the crest of a hill presiding over brilliant sunrises and majestic long water views of Oyster Bay Harbor, Centre Island, Lloyd Neck and Connecticut in the distance. Completed in 1989, the masterfully designed six-bedroom post-modern residence has an elegance and sophistication that places an emphasis on the enjoyment of indoor-outdoor living and grand entertaining. Clean design, combined with exquisite natural materials and finishes, create an oasis of luxury in a spectacular landscaped setting.
The residence’s brick and wood façade is an attractive asymmetric arrangement of geometric shapes and roof lines with various elevations. The forecourt, with ample parking, welcomes visitors for arrival. An inviting loggia surrounds an expansive landscaped stone courtyard that is perfect for large-scale entertaining. Steps, featuring crab orchard stone, lead to the front entry and impressive double-height foyer. Throughout the residence, groups of large windows and glass doors break the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. They bathe the interiors with natural light and frame long views of a lush canopy of trees that are trimmed for unobstructed water views. The floor plan is open and flexible. Custom built-ins and cabinetry featuring mahogany and birdseye maple complement white oak inlay flooring that adds refinement and interest to the principal rooms. Outdoor balconies have Brazilian IPE decking and clear tempered glass railings.
A game room features soft cove lighting, a vaulted ceiling, built-in cabinetry and sliding doors that open to a large deck. A solariumlike sunroom with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows is currently arranged as a wellness yoga room. The formal dining room has a wall of casement windows and a built-in buffet for elegant entertaining. Clean-lined millwork graces the grand ballroom, and lovely light filters through clerestory windows above. With easy flow, a gallery hall forms a bridge that marries the north and south sides of the home
Large in scale, the great room has many possibilities for several furniture groupings. At the far end, windows span three sides with splendid water views. A vaulted ceiling adds vertical volume to the room, and a fireplace adds warm ambiance during cooler months.
The chic new kitchen complex with crisp white custom cabinetry featuring stylish brass hardware and quartzite countertops. A huge food prep island has seating, and there are top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Thermador and Miele appliances for the chef. A custom Vanessa Deleon Collection mosaic backsplash featuring crystalized Thassos, White Gold and Calacatta marble adds texture and dynamically unifies the overall design. The kitchen is a stunning backdrop to a wall of windows and doors with water views that open to a wraparound balcony.
The sumptuous primary suite is a level unto itself. It features a vaulted ceiling, clerestory windows, a fireplace and doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the water. An enormous dressing room has custom cabinetry and fittings for organization and storage. The en suite bath is newly updated and spa-inspired. Set inside a circular turret with a round skylight above, the luxurious oversized marble shower features frameless glass and multiple shower heads. A wide infinity sink sits atop an attractive white vanity. Surrounded by windows with spectacular garden and water views, a jetted tub is a wonderful place to relax.
