THE BEACH HOUSE

This outbuilding offers room for three additional cars and equipment for maintaining the grounds. There is a half bath on the ground floor, the house manager’s office, and a conference room and kitchenette on the second floor. Has a 1,000-gallon propane tank and a gas boiler.

The Guest House

The guest apartment has a main entrance from the courtyard, a galley kitchen opening to a living room with a fireplace, a powder room, and laundry. The second floor offers three bedrooms (one with an ensuite bath) and a hall bath.

The Main House

Built in the arts and crafts style, this brick home is accented by brick columns and archways, covered porches, and brick driveways and roads leading to the beach house. Currently under construction and renovation, the home is expected to be completed by the end of summer/fall of 2023.

One has the opportunity to see the quality of the construction and the attention to detail throughout. There are views of Oyster Bay Harbor and/or Oyster Bay from virtually every room. Enter the first floor through a heated vestibule into a two-story entry hall with a black and white marble tiled floor, a powder room, guest closet, and an elevator that accesses all four levels of the home. There is radiant heat throughout the majority of the house.

Waterviews highlight virtually every room on the above grade floors of the house. The main floor has a library with a fireplace, an office with a fireplace that opens to a covered patio overlooking the harbor, a formal living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with a fireplace, a large walk-in pantry, a spacious gourmet kitchen with a breakfast room with barrel ceiling, a separate chef’s kitchen, a family room, a back staircase to the second floor or the lower level, a home office, a dog’s grooming room, a large coat closet, and a half bath.

Heated by three 1,000-gallon propane tanks, which also fuel cooking and other gas-fueled appliances. The 2,500-gallon oil tank supplies the boiler for the garage, guest apartment, bowling alley, and the 300-kW generator. The generator supplies the entire property at 502 Centre Island Road.

Radiant heat throughout a majority of the Main House.

Second And Third Floor

The second floor has four ensuite bedrooms and a large laundry room. The elevator opens just outside of the primary bedroom suite which occupies one wing of the floor. This suite offers “his and hers” walk-in closets, dressing rooms, and baths, which are connected by an entry hall with room for a “breakfast bar.” The spacious bedroom has southeastern exposure with beautiful water views, a barrel ceiling, and a large fireplace.

The third floor has staircase access as well as the elevator and has been finished for storage and a possible home theater, as well as a powder room.

Lower Level

This level is partially above grade and offers more living space and entertainment areas, as well as utility rooms. It is also accessed by a staircase from the entry hall, a “back” staircase from the kitchen wing, and the elevator. A large utility room with an outside service entrance is at the foot of the kitchen staircase, as is a large pantry (or home gym location).

Included in this level, currently under construction are a playroom with a fireplace, a room intended for a spa or hair salon, a billiard room, a powder room, a wine cellar, and the main laundry room. A separate hallway has two shower/changing rooms, a half bath, and two doorways leading to the indoor swimming pool. This room has a 12 foot ceiling and a large fireplace, as well as a 40 x 25 gunite in-ground pool covered by a wood floor by the current owner, who has used the room as the music room because of its great acoustic qualities. The pool and its piping are still intact, but the pumps and mechanics have been removed.

Outdoor Spaces

Outside the kitchen side entrance is an outdoor kitchen, which includes two barbecues, a Garland grill, and a warming drawer.

Attached to the main house by a covered portico is a two-car garage and a bay that could be opened to provide room for one or two cars. Two additional two-car garages are included in an attached guest apartment suite that opens to a large courtyard for guest parking.

One of the two car garages has a half bath and a staircase leading to an office/conference room. The second two-car garage opens to the guest apartment with a half bath and a staircase leading to a bowling alley and a very large storage room.
