Description

Set behind black iron gates and approached by a long sweeping driveway, this extraordinary all-brick estate is a rare offering rich in history, character, and timeless elegance. Originally built in 1905 and set on 8.95 picturesque acres along the scenic Nissequogue River, this landmark property captures the grandeur and old-world appeal of a bygone era while offering an incredible opportunity to restore and reimagine a truly special home. In addition to the main parcel, the property also includes an additional 4.5 acres of wetlands located across the river, creating an exceptionally rare and expansive setting. Steeped in history, the residence once served as a hunting and fishing lodge in the early 1900s and showcases exquisite architectural detailing and craftsmanship rarely found today. Once owned by famed actress Dina Merrill, the estate carries with it a remarkable sense of legacy and prestige. From the moment you enter, the home is filled with warmth and character, featuring impressive millwork, rich wood floors, spacious formal entertaining rooms, and elegant period details throughout. At the heart of the home is the magnificent grand ballroom with soaring ceilings and a stunning stone fireplace — an unforgettable space reminiscent of the estate’s storied past and ideal for grand entertaining. The residence also features a desirable first-floor primary bedroom suite, generously sized rooms throughout, a full basement, and a expansive detached garage. Surrounded by natural beauty and offering exceptional privacy, this remarkable property presents endless potential for those who appreciate historic homes and old-world elegance. Conveniently located just minutes from Long Island beaches, restaurants, shopping, and the LIRR. A truly rare and iconic North Shore estate waiting to be restored to its former glory. Offered in “as is” condition. Please note: Listing photographs reflect the home at the time the current owners purchased the property and do not represent the current interior contents.
