Trois Chien Nuit M i l l N e c k , N e w Yo r k
Trois Chien Nuit is perfectly situated on approximately one-acre at the end of a private road with a canopy of trees that opens to spectacular views of the residence in its delightful waterfront setting. Handsome stone piers welcome arrival to a courtyard that is framed by manicured gardens. Exuding charm, the main residence and the adjacent three-bay garage were inspired by French provincial architecture. Timeless lines and understated details play across the exterior façade of the manor home. A steeply pitched Vermont slate roof is punctuated with arch-topped dormers and custom copper gutters and downspouts. Matching chimneys have attractive terra-cotta chimney pots. Casement windows crowned by half-round lights and decorative quoins add character and interest to the composition.
Reminiscent of a carriage house, the garage features a loft that can easily be converted into an office or guest suite. A white pebbled path bordered by verdant lawns and groomed boxwood leads to the sparkling heated gunite pool. Towering hemlocks, flowering cherry and Japanese dogwood trees and a bluestone surround add beauty and seclusion to the delightful free-form pool and garden. With almost 200-feet of Mill Neck Bay waterfront, majestic water views and expansive bluestone patios with classic balustrades for relaxing and dining, this property offers a luxurious and refined lifestyle perfect for today’s living and entertaining.
A magnificent entry featuring carved rosewood doors opens to a light-filled and spacious floor plan with beautifully proportioned rooms rich in architectural details. Rooms flow easily from one to the next. Impeccable millwork and beautiful decorative custom moldings tailor each room and distinguish the interiors. The double height reception foyer has a polished checkerboard patterned marble floor. A graceful staircase sweeps to the second floor. Attractive cornice moldings above rosewood doors carved with a floral motif introduce each principal room.
The formal living room and library have fireplaces with lovely antique carved mantels. Setting the stage for wonderful gatherings and entertaining, the formal dining room overlooks the front courtyard through three tall casement windows with half-round transom windows. The adjoining wall features floor-to-ceiling windows and a door that opens to the pool and garden. The intimate library has pocket doors and intricate custom moldings that enhance the booklined shelves. Tucked in a corner like a mirrored jewel box, a wet bar features a gleaming P.E.Guerin swan faucet and sink. Two arch-topped shell alcoves with display shelves, decorative columns, crown moldings and ceiling details add refinement to the family room. It has lustrous pine floors, and it opens into a sunny enclosed porch.
The home’s rear façade is oriented to the water. It features a fabulous twostory circular tower with a cone shaped roof that is home to the kitchen on the first level. White custom cabinetry is integrated with top-of-theline appliances. A large granite-topped island with a sink provides the chef with abundant preparation space. Maple floors crafted in a herringbone pattern add to the warm ambiance of the room. Tall casement windows and a door to the enclosed porch encircle the breakfast area and bathe the room in natural light. There are sublime Mill Neck Bay water views.
At the top of the graceful staircase on the second level, the balcony overlooks the entry foyer. The sumptuous master suite is a restful and elegant retreat. It has a tray ceiling that adds volume to the room, and a wall of windows overlooks the water, swimming pool and garden. An English antique carved fireplace mantel features a pretty garland detail, and it is complemented by a white marble surround. The marble master bath has a spa tub, shower and two sinks. There are three additional generously-sized bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is set within the tower, and it has an en suite bath. Seven windows encircle the far end of the room and provide panoramic water views. The other two comfortable bedrooms have captivating views, one of the water and the other of the front courtyard, and they share a hall bath.
