Overview
ROSLYN HARBOR. Escape to the hills in this serene, exquisitely maintained and remodeled, brick, six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home nestled on a gorgeous one-acre property in the wooded hills of Roslyn Harbor. This charming village, overlooking the waters of Hempstead Harbor, was developed in the early Nineteenth Century by wealthy New Yorkers for their summer estates. Two of those properties remain today, the modern Engineer’s Country Club and the 145-acre William Cullen Bryant Preserve. Home to the Nassau County Museum of Art and eight nature trails with breathtaking views, its pristine woodland backs up to this sprawling property. Just north of charming Roslyn Village, it is close to shopping (including the Americana Mall), dining, boating, and the railroad with a 45-minute commute by rail or car.
Resembling Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School style of architecture, this home has been magnificently remodeled to merge its original style to meet today’s aesthetic and comforts. With first floor luxurious & spacious primary suite and guest suite, it offers a spacious living-and-dining great room, a cozy den with fireplace, a sunny study, powder room, and an ample, bright and airy cook’s kitchen boasting a large breakfast area, center island, marble countertop, and quality stainless-steel appliances, are all opening to an expansive rear deck. With its pleasant vistas of trees, flowers, and sweeping lawns, you will love entertaining there or just relaxing and communing with nature. There is plenty of space for a future swimming pool or tennis court if you wish. Walls of glass provide almost all the rooms with the same tranquil panorama as does a giant picture window above the landing to the second floor. This level houses four delightful sunny bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths. A full, unfinished basement, offering you endless options for expansion, plus an attached two-car garage, gleaming hardwood floors, a first-floor laundry, and incredible finishes throughout complete the home’s pristine interior. When you come home every evening, you may feel the stress of the day just melt away in this soothing Gold Coast haven. And surrounded by all the delightful shopping, dining, sports, and entertainment venues, you may also feel like you are on vacation all year long. What could be more perfect?
