About this home
Welcome to this breathtaking colonial home, ideally situated on just shy of an acre and featuring four bedrooms, a two-car garage, and a charming wraparound porch. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is truly a showstopper, boasting a Viking gas range with built-in grill, pasta-filling faucet, striking onyx backsplash, double ogee granite countertops, microwave drawer in the island, pantry closet, butler’s pantry with wine fridge, hot water tap, and so much more. The sophisticated living room flows seamlessly into a warm and inviting den featuring a gas fireplace, while the formal dining room impresses with its soaring vaulted ceiling. A convenient first floor powder room adds to the homes thoughtful design. Upstairs, the grand primary suite offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring marble floors and countertops, along with custom cabinetry. Three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a convenient second-floor laundry area, and a comfortable sitting room complete the upper level, with closets galore throughout. The expansive basement is an entertainer’s dream, featuring impressive eight-foot ceilings, custom cherry millwork, a private theater room, wet bar, dedicated card-playing area, and a separate cigar lounge equipped with ventilation for smoke. Step outside to a spectacular backyard featuring Danish brickwork, a six-speaker outdoor sound system, outdoor landscape lighting, and a sprawling, park-like setting that offers exceptional space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. Additional highlights include a 12-zone in-ground sprinkler system, a comprehensive alarm and camera security system, and a new roof. This extraordinary home combines elegant living, distinctive craftsmanship, modern conveniences, and resort-style entertaining in a truly remarkable setting.
Oyster Bay, located between Cold Spring Harbor and Bayville, is a waterfront and historic Glen Cove neighborhood with a working harbor and leafy, estate-era streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Audrey Avenue at Spring Street, where coffee counters, independent boutiques, and old-school storefronts set a walkable, small-town cadence. The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum, the Oyster Bay Historical Society’s Earle-Wightman House, and the Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park act as cultural anchors. Shingle-style homes and classic Colonials mix with village-era cottages near the shore. Waterfront paths and marinas frame daily routines with salt-air views. Beaches and preserves shape the landscape from cove to bluff.
