About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to this prestigious custom home, where pride of ownership, exceptional attention to detail, and meticulous care are evident at every turn. Set on a private and beautifully maintained .55 acre bordering the private Village of Nissequogue and the scenic Butler-Huntington Nature Preserve, this residence offers a seamless blend of timeless elegance and everyday comfort. Truly picture-perfect from the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression with its attractive exterior and serene setting.

Step through the formal entry foyer into a thoughtfully designed, light-filled interior with a spacious floor plan and refined finishes throughout. Rich oak floors, custom crown and base moldings, and recessed lighting flow seamlessly from room to room, showcasing the home’s superior craftsmanship. The formal living and dining rooms provide an elegant setting for gatherings, while the large family room with a wood-burning fireplace offers a warm and inviting space for daily living.

The professional-grade kitchen is both functional and striking, featuring Sub-Zero appliances, a double oven, granite countertops, custom cherry frameless cabinetry, Restoration Hardware fixtures, and sliding doors that open to a private backyard retreat.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom is thoughtfully designed for relaxation, offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The beautifully renovated ensuite bath features elegant marble tile throughout, Restoration Hardware vanities and fixtures, and a spacious walk-in closet with cedar accents. Three additional bedrooms share a newly updated full bathroom, enhanced with marble finishes and a classic clawfoot bathtub.

The finished basement provides generous storage, including a large walk-in pantry and cedar closet. Andersen windows, a two-zone heating and cooling system, and an attached two-car garage add convenience and quality throughout.

The fully fenced backyard is a resort-style paradise, boasting a solar-heated saltwater inground pool with diving stone, outdoor shower, expansive IPE wood deck, custom paver patio, and a built-in BBQ system—perfect for entertaining. The professionally landscaped front yard is equally impressive and maintained by a full in-ground sprinkler system.

The home’s outstanding curb appeal is further enhanced by updated Vinyl Perfection shake siding, offering both style and long-lasting durability.

Ideally located near beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping, and transportation—there is truly nothing to do but move in and enjoy the lifestyle this remarkable home provides.
