Location This magnificent 2.13-acre waterfront Estate is located in the Incorporated Village of Sands Point, New York on the North Shore of Long Island’s Gold Coast. Approximately 25 miles east of Manhattan and minutes from fine dining and shopping, Sands Point is close to Madison Avenue-style shops in the nearby Americana Shopping Center. Surrounded almost entirely by Long Island Sound, Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor, Sands Point is rich in history as the home of iconic Estates. An example is the 216-acre Sands Point Preserve museum, formerly the Gould-Guggenheim manor. Residents can join The Village Club of Sands Point which offers golf, swimming, paddle tennis and tennis (fees). The Long Island Railroad simplifies commuting with direct service from neighboring Port Washington to both Pennsylvania and Grand Central train stations in Manhattan. Property Serenity by the Sound is beautifully situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Mature plantings grace a welcoming circular courtyard with spacious room for parking. A periphery of trees provides beauty and seclusion to the gardens with a lush green lawn and a spectacular 300feet of pristine sandy beach on open Long Island Sound. Perfect for relaxing, dining and entertaining, travertine terraces and patios offer long unobstructed water views with Connecticut in the distance. A freeform heated swimming pool with a waterfall is surrounded by attractive landscaping and a travertine patio. A handsome poolside pergola provides shaded seating, and an outdoor shower is discretely located along a short path to the water’s edge.
Residence A work of art, this masterpiece of design offers clean-lined mid-century architecture at its best. Designed with luxurious natural materials and refined craftsmanship, the residence intrinsically relates to the beauty of its glorious waterfront setting. Sophisticated design embraces beachfront living accomplishing a sense of effortless ease and tranquility. Oriented to showcase stunning water views, the soothing presence of Long Island Sound is felt throughout this waterfront Estate.
The residence’s low facade with a deep eave overhang and angular lines opens to a covered entry that blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors. A travertine walkway travels past an open atrium garden with a waterfall feature and into the residence. Floor-to-ceiling double height walls of windows and doors offer impressive panoramic 180-degree views of the swimming pool, travertine patio and Long Island Sound from the principal rooms, kitchen and primary bedroom suite. Clad with travertine, a sculptural floor-to-ceiling double sided wood burning fireplace rises to meet the vaulted cedar plank ceiling in the living room/dining room on one side and the den on the opposite side. Walls of windows and glass doors on the south side of the home invite fresh breezes, and they offer flowering atrium garden views. Bathed in natural light, rooms flow easily from one to the next. The den features a wall of custom cabinetry. It leads to the primary bedroom suite with access to the swimming pool and patio. Generous dressing closets have custom fittings, and a luxurious en suite bath features travertine and an eye-catching stained-glass window. Clever storage cabinetry is hidden along a hallway that leads to two bedrooms with a shared bath. A multi-purpose entertainment room features a wet bar and walls of windows with views through the atrium garden and out to the water on the other side of the residence. Currently styled as a music room, this well-appointed 21’ x 16’ space offers many possibilities for living and entertaining. The kitchen has a warmth gained from rich wood cabinetry with granite countertops. There is tremendous storage for provisions, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances and banquette seating with water views. A comfortable bedroom has an en suite bath, and an office with a skylight is tucked away.
The lower level has a two-car garage, utilities and storage. There is irrigation, and landscape lighting illuminates the gardens at night. This wonderful Estate is made special through extraordinary mid-century modern architecture and design beautifully informed by its waterfront setting. With majestic panoramic water views, luxurious amenities combine to create an exceptional beachfront Estate offering the enjoyment of swimming, sailing, paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking and rarified living and entertaining.
