About This Home

As of April 2013

Originally built in 1880, this magnificent property was known as the "Tea Room" for all the summer residents of exclusive Straws Point (Lockes Neck).Through numerous renovations, this spectacular property has evolved into the picture perfect home. From the Great Room with the original beach stone fireplace to the marble master bath fashioned after a suite at the Ritz... it's stunning! Fabulous kitchen, beautiful master suite, Game Room with Bar, office with cigar ventilation, full Gym. This one is for the Buyer who doesn't want a "cookie cutter" home - but who has the style to appreciate the combination of history, great taste and a premier location! Walk to the Beach or to the Common overlooking the vast Atlantic!
