Shelter Island Estate Section Traditional with Pool

Sold

This classic country oasis, nestled on a slight elevation with waterview slices a stone’s throw from the beach and salt water, showcases a sweeping elegance from both proportions and amenities. The foyer offers double height ceilings and an oversized fanlight over the front entrance, a design feature repeated throughout for fluidity of natural sunlight. There is a visually pleasing introduction to the common rooms from the entry. To the right, the front parlour, with vaulted ceilings and wood burning fireplace with ceramic tile accents is inviting and delightfully enveloping. To the left, a gracious formal dining room and adjacent butler’s service offer scenic vistas of the front gardens. The living room, neatly sequestered by columns, has a stacked granite fireplace with raised hearth, and meshes seamlessly to a comfortable outdoor living room overlooking the pool and gardens. The kitchen is every chef’s dream, with custom cabinets, massive island with prep sink, granite counters, farm sink, DCS range with 6 burners plus an additional wall oven and adjacent pantry. The breakfast area offers a veritable wall of glass and vaulted ceilings. Two spacious en-suite bedrooms with separate hallway entrances are neatly tucked away. The second floor landing is wide with ample built-ins for library and treasured heirlooms. The master suite offers soaring vaulted ceilings, a handcrafted fireplace evoking classic Ram Island fieldstone, spa-like bathroom suite with double sinks, shower and tub room. A wonderful dedicated sun deck overlooks the pool and perennial gardens. A guest suite entered on the south side of the second floor offers its own entrance with sitting area, full bath and spacious bedroom. On the north side, the fifth guest suite is both spacious and cozy. The lower level has a rustic library-media room with fireplace, wine cellar and access to oversized garage, suitable for 3 cars. The grounds, which border a 44 acre preserve, are colorful with lovingly tended perennials, hidden paths and a well considered symmetry to shapely shrubs, with ample room for tennis. The pool area, decked in bluestone walls and surround, are reminiscent of a 4-star resort. Truly a remarkable estate quality Shelter Island home, one that will provide years of lasting memories.
