About This Home

Leahead – Museum-quality, sophisticated heating and cooling systems. A Gold Coast Water View Masterpiece with Exclusive Beach Rights. A rare and remarkable 1896 water view estate in Glen Cove’s prestigious Red Spring Colony, offering exclusive beach rights to Red Spring Colony Beach. This lovingly restored mansion seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern luxury on 1.34 acres of landscaped gardens, tranquil woodlands, a sparkling pool with waterfall, a spa, overlooking the Long Island Sound. With a story as rich as its architecture, Leahead was originally built by Henry W. J. Bucknall, an English-born businessman and successful cork importer. In 1897, Bucknall purchased a five-acre parcel in what was then a newly forming enclave for New York’s elite. He named the estate Leahead after his ancestral home in England, becoming one of the first to settle in what would become the highly sought-after Red Spring Colony. The home itself remains a tribute to the craftsmanship of its era, featuring gleaming hardwood floors, intricately carved wood paneling, high coffered and open-beam ceilings, and six exquisite fireplaces. Leaded-glass windows and enormous original pocket doors, designed to complement the architectural character of each room, offer a sense of elegance and continuity throughout. These grand interior spaces are ideal for entertaining on a large scale, yet equally suited to comfortable everyday living. At the heart of the home lies the impressive reception hall, crowned by a large skylight that fills the space with natural light. From here, the residence unfolds into a magnificent banquet hall with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, a monumental limestone fireplace, and French doors that open onto a terrace. The adjoining formal living room features its own fireplace, a large bay window, and additional French doors leading to another patio with panoramic water views. An arched staircase rises gracefully to a balcony library set above the paneled great room with a secret door to the powder room. The home’s vast basement includes staff quarters and significant storage space, offering additional flexibility for a variety of uses. At approximately 5,811 square feet (not including basement), this exceptional residence offers an irreplaceable combination of character, size, location, and luxury. It is also an Energy Star-certified home with a sophisticated, computer-controlled central heating and cooling system that ensures comfort year-round. Generator, new oil tank 2025. More than just a home, Leahead is a legacy estate—an extraordinary piece of Long Island’s Gold Coast history, now ready to be enjoyed for generations to come. View 3D tour and Floor Plan.
