Description/Significance

The project consisted of the purchase and subdivision of the existing property, renovation of the main house, carriage house, pool and auxiliary structures and the construction of a new 12,000 SF luxury custom home. The complete restoration of the existing mansion including stripping the brick of several coats of paint, replacing all of the windows and doors and installing a new slate roof with copper flashing, gutters and leaders. The interior was a gut renovation updating all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Air conditioning was added and the heating system was replaced in an effort to meet the needs of mansion living in the twenty-first century. A new gourmet kitchen was installed with state-of-the-art appliances and custom cabinetry throughout. Six full baths and two half baths were replaced entirely using marble, tile and limestone finishes. All existing floors, paneling and moldings were restored to their original luster. Extensive new millwork was added throughout the house to match the existing character and style of the original estate.

The site is located in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast. In addition to the restoration and renovation of the original property, a four acre subdivision was created for the purpose of building another custom estate for a future client. Having established a core group of quality subcontractors and craftsmen on the original project will allow for a high look of quality and for many of the same design elements to be utilized once again.
