Breathtaking views of Long Island Sound, sunsets, sailboats and the sound of the surf are the setting for this magnificent 10,000 square foot direct waterfront estate on the Gold Coast of Southport. This New England style shingle and stone residence, originally a Dutch Colonial seaside cottage built in 1908, underwent a meticulous renovation completed in 2008, blending modern comfort and style with many of the original-turn-of-the-century details. Inspired by Japanese influences, this rare and exquisite home offers nine bedrooms, eight full baths, seven fireplaces, a separate 2-room office/studio, lush gardens, tennis court, heated pool, spa and 200+ feet of private beach frontage.

All interior and outdoor spaces have been designed for comfort and enjoyment and constructed with the finest materials by expert craftsmen. Floors in the living room, dining room and family room were thoughtfully designed with custom inlays and imported from Italy in Italian cherry. The spectacular chef’s kitchen boasts natural stone floors, honed granite island and countertops, state-of-the art appliances including a 60” Wolf range and 2 refrigerators and 2 freezers, a wood-burning pizza oven, two walk-in pantries and custom cabinetry. Designed by a renowned Italian architect, the formal dining room was constructed as a perfect ellipse for pure sound. Upstairs find a glorious master suite with cherry floors, large cedar walk-in closets, fireplace and a romantic outdoor sleeping porch with panoramic water views. Pamper yourself in the custom marble master bath with a soak in the free standing copper and nickel tub, a steam in the oversized shower or just relax after a long day in the adjacent sauna.

Feel the saltwater breeze as you explore the grounds on lovely stone walkways and discover an authentic Japanese garden complete with meditation area, specimen plantings and a cook’s vegetable garden.

Affectionately entitled “First Snow on the Beach”, this spectacular property is a once in a lifetime place to call home in every season.
