Overview
OLD BROOKVILLE. If you seek elegance, comfort, tradition, and panache, you have come to the right place. For well over a century, Old Brookville has been home to many leaders in finance, industry, and the arts, and has gained the reputation as one of the wealthiest communities in America. Some of the grand “Golden-Age” estates remain, but at the turn of the Twenty-First century, a new brand of estates emerged paying homage to those magnificent historic homes but with all the amenities so sought after in this new millennium and on more manageably sized acreage. Such is this amazing property. Its two-plus acres, with a cherry blossom tree-lined, paving-stone circular driveway, features seemingly endless emerald lawns flowing around gorgeous plantings, a stately brick, six-bedroom, five-full and 1-half-bath Brick Georgian Manor, and a fabulous outdoor entertainment area with inground pool & spa, patio, outdoor kitchen, pergola, pavilions, and awnings. You will love entertaining year-round with the home’s spacious interior that includes a lower-level entertainer’s paradise with posh theater, lounge, billiard/game room, wet bar – with wine cooler and dishwasher, and gym. Only twenty-five miles from Manhattan, this pristine, traditional masterpiece is convenient to all that the North Shore has to offer including Wheatley Plaza, the Nassau Museum of Art, the Americana at Manhasset, Long Island Railroad, golf, boating, public and private schools, and equestrian facilities.
As you enter from the soaring portico framed by Corinthian columns, you will be enthralled by the two-story foyer with spectacular bridal staircase with its iron filigree balustrade matching the iron filigree entry door and windows. A French Baroque style, seen in the black-and-white marble floors, ornate fielded-panel walls, and plaster frieze, extends into a delightful living room with a large Palladian window. Oversized windows flank a Greek Revival fireplace. French doors open to a spacious family room with another classic fireplace, an ornate coffered ceiling, access to the foyer, an inviting study/office, a powder room, and the expansive chef’s kitchen and breakfast room. Designed by a chef, and for a chef, this gorgeous French Country kitchen features French doors and window opening to the rear patio, furniture-like custom cabinetry, granite countertop, large center island, and high-end appliances that include a professional-grade, custom six-burner gas stove with griddle, two full-sized ovens, and a pot filler, 2 Bosch dishwashers, warming drawer, microwave, and more. A hallway, with walk-in pantry, leads to a stunning banquet-sized formal dining room and to the back stairs, the attached three-car garage, walk-in closet, and a guest/staff bedroom suite with bath.
A regal primary suite, with fireplace, huge walk-in closet, and lavish Rosato-marble bath with Roman tub, large twin vanity, steam shower, and water closet with bidet and commode, share the second floor with a mahogany-wood-paneled library boasting built-ins, coffered ceiling, and French doors to the landing and to a private balcony overlooking the pool; two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and shared bath; and two more bedrooms with baths ensuite, and a hall laundry room by the back stairs. All five bedrooms rival or exceed those found in five-star hotels.
Featuring all the grace and charm of yesteryear combined with so many comforts and amenities of today, this magnificent, pristine estate is ready to fulfill your every dream.
