Description

Set amid mature, beautifully landscaped grounds in the coveted Village of Matinecock, this distinguished brick North Shore residence, built in 2006, offers an exceptional combination of scale, craftsmanship, privacy, and resort-inspired living. Rich hardwood floors, substantial millwork, designer wallcoverings, and thoughtfully updated interiors create a home that is at once impressive and inviting.

A dramatic, columned double-height foyer with graceful bridal staircases sets an elegant tone upon arrival. The formal dining room is distinguished by a coffered ceiling, while a handsome wood-burning fireplace anchors the spacious den. French doors extend the living spaces to an expansive slate-and-brick terrace overlooking the lush grounds.

Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the eat-in chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry extending to the ceiling, marble countertops, an oversized center island, generous pantry storage, wine refrigeration, and professional-grade Thermador stainless steel appliances.

The first floor primary suite is a private retreat, entered through double doors and appointed with a fireplace, sitting den, two closets, substantial moldings, and an en-suite bath. A formal living room, sunroom with terracotta floors, beautifully appointed laundry room with abundant storage, an elegant powder room, and a bedroom with an attached full bath complete the first floor.

Outdoors, the residence unfolds as a private North Shore oasis. The fully fenced 2.06-acre property is framed by mature landscaping and enhanced by multiple fountains and water features. An inviting saltwater swimming pool with an electric cover is framed by handsome slate terraces, while a built-in spa with a cascading waterfall flowing into the pool enhances the resort-like setting. A beautifully designed teak outdoor shower and playset complete an environment equally suited to sophisticated entertaining and leisurely summer days.

For the automobile enthusiast or collector, an extraordinary combination of attached and detached garaging accommodates up to eight vehicles - a rare and remarkably versatile offering.
