Overview

ALBERTSON. Standing majestically in a transitional area where midcentury homes are being replaced by exquisite new homes three times their value, this stunning 2003 five-bedroom, four-bath, two-half-bath Mediterranean Villa is an entertainer’s dream and a commuter’s paradise. Only seventeen miles from New York City, it is about a mile from major arteries and the Long Island Railroad. Just blocks from shopping and dining, it is also within a couple miles of golf courses, Manhasset’s Miracle Mile, and Americana Mall, and even closer to Christopher Morley Park. This ninety-eight-acre county park offers year-round entertainment including several swimming pools, many indoor and outdoor tennis courts, handball courts, basketball courts, athletic fields, nine-hole golf course, huge playground, picnic areas, nature and fitness trails, dog run, ice rink, and more. With a wide driveway, attached two-car garage, and steps adorned with a sparkling custom balustrade, this approximately thirty-five-hundred-square-foot foot residence features three floors of finished living space. Guests are welcomed into a sun-drenched, two-story, center-hall foyer with inlaid tiled floors illuminated by a soaring arched window, a powder room, and guest closet. To the left is a banquet-sized formal dining room, and to the right, the sunny living room is open to a spacious family room with marble gas fireplace and tall windows flanking a sliding-glass door to the rear deck. Inlaid hardwood floors, hi-hat lighting, and crown molding flow throughout these spaces. The expansive chef’s kitchen is the hub of the home and open to foyer, dining and family rooms, and a guestroom/study and full bath. Preparing meals will be a breeze thanks to its extensive cabinetry with granite countertop and backsplash, a center island with seating, window above a large sink, a planning center, and a breakfast area with sliders to the deck. Stainless-steel appliances include a gas range, side-by-side refrigerator, and a dishwasher. Double doors open to the convenient laundry area. Overlooking the foyer and stairs, the second-floor balcony provides access to three generous bedrooms with ample closets, two full baths, and the palatial master suite. You will love the privacy in your own wing comprising a spacious and sunny bedroom, two large walk-in closets, and a large master bath with soaking tub, twin vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and sky-lit vaulted ceiling. The finished basement is ideal for entertaining with a large home theater, a lounge with wet bar, a game room, and powder room. Enjoy many summer hours on your oversized rear deck and patio that overlook a bilevel backyard with emerald lawn, rose garden, and garden shed.
