Overview

Come experience the grandeur, serenity, and luxury of Sands Point living in this brand new, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bath, brick Georgian Colonial set on two-acres in Harriman Estates. A fitting addition to a village of grand and historic estates, made famous by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, the “Great Gatsby,” this gorgeous residence is just a mile or so from the lavish estate that inspired the book. The 216-acre Sands Point Preserve, on the original Guggenheim Estate is also nearby, just a nine-iron shot away, is the eighth hole green at the Sands Point Golf Club’s world-renowned golf course, created in 1927 by Averell Harriman, governor of New York. His estate was, some say, the site of many grand soirées that Fitzgerald attended. Paying homage to the glitz and glamour of the Harriman’s Roaring Twenties, this magnificent, 2020, home will enfold you in its 2020’s state-of-the art splendor and comfort with soaring coffered and tray ceilings, massive moldings, generous windows, thick hardwood and heated porcelain floors, high-end appointments, Smart House technology, and superb design and workmanship throughout. With gentle rolling, verdant hillsides surrounded on three sides by the glistening waters of Long Island Sound, it’s no wonder why magnates of New York City built their grand estates in Sands Point, part Long Island’s fabled “Gold Coast”. Today, it still boasts some of the most beautiful homes in the world. With golf courses, country clubs, yacht clubs, miles of beaches, and charming village shopping nearby, the area is approximately a half-hour commute to Manhattan by train. About 2,600 residents live within about 5.6-square-miles and share the opportunity of membership in the Sands Point Village Club, originally the Guggenheim Mansion, which includes golf, pool, tennis, private beach, and estate dining. Set back from a tree-lined country lane, this stately manor welcomes you with a shady drive and spacious courtyard. Extending across the rear of the home, an expansive stone patio overlooks an expansive lawn surrounded by towering trees. Ample room is provided for future addition of pool, pool house, and tennis court. Just off Middle Neck Road, it has easy access to nearby village shops and restaurants in nearby Port Washington and Manhasset, including the Americana and Miracle Mile. Upon entering through the impressive filigree-glass-and wrought iron arched front doors, you will be enthralled by the two-story center-hall foyer with its gleaming heated inlaid porcelain floors, graceful bridal staircase, fielded paneling, motorized chandelier, marble powder room, and closet. The elegant formal dining room, with coffered ceiling and fielded-panel wainscoting, is entered across from a grand living room with stylish ceiling, quartzite fireplace flanked by passage to the family room, while two sets of doors access the adjoining sun-drenched library. A hall running perpendicular to the foyer provides access to the bright and cheerful eat-in kitchen offering heated stone floors and ample white custom cabinetry with quartzite countertops and glass-tile backsplash. A large center island contains a sink, microwave drawer, wine cooler, storage, and seating area. High-end stainless and integrated appliances include a Wolf double oven and six-burner gas cooktop with griddle and pot filler, dishwasher, and Sub-Zero full-size refrigerator and upright freezer. The breakfast area, with sliders to the patio, connects with the family room. This delightful retreat with amazing honeycomb-like recessed ceiling and glass doors opening to the patio, will invite you to relax in front of its charming fireplace. Off the kitchen, a service area includes a mudroom, backstairs, laundry room, coat closet, outside entrance, maid’s room with access to a hall full bath, and access to the attached three-car garage. The second floor comprises four attractive bedrooms with baths en suite, large bonus space above the garage and library, plus a palatial master suite.

A huge full basement with high ceilings, and outside access, has been plumbed for future expansion.
