Set on over 4.3 private acres, this distinguished estate offers exceptional privacy, timeless architecture and a remarkable connection to its surrounding landscape. A serene winding drive passes mature specimen trees and lush plantings before circling a striking koi pond and arriving at the residence, where twin brick-and-bluestone staircases rise through layered gardens to the stately entrance. Inside, a soaring marble foyer introduces approx. 6500 sq. ft. of graciously appointed interiors with hardwood floors, finely crafted millwork, and rich architectural detailing. An intimate octogonal music room with intricate inlaid wood detailing complement the formal living room which includes wood-burning fireplace and French doors which leads to a private brick terrace. The formal dining room overlooks the pool and gardens through an expansive wall of windows. At the heart of the home, the eat-in-kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, premium appliances, a windowed dining alcove with built-in-seating. The den showcases a vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows, extensive cherry built-ins cabinetry, and a gas fireplace. Connecting the kitchen and den, is a secondary staircase, garage and side entrance from the drive. A first-floor guest suite with en-suite bath and large closets provides a private retreat of its own. On the second floor an interior bridge leads to the primary wing, where large windows frame elevated views across the property. Multiple closets and dressing spaces connect the bedroom to the elegant primary bath with extensive stonework, custom cabinetry, radiant heat, oversided glass-enclosed shower, and freestanding soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms, Two baths, and a cedar closet complete the second floor. The second floor has access to a partially finished third-level attic. The finished lower level offers a spacious recreation area, media space, soundproof music room, dedicated office, powder room, and abundate storage, with direct access from the garage and grounds. Outdoors, three distinct terraces are woven throughout, joined by a magnificent tiered fountain, built-in-brick grilling station, established gardens and mature woodland.

Listing by Kathryn Zoller• Daniel Gale Sothebys Intl Rlty
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.
