B AY W I N D S H U N T I N G T O N B AY, N E W Y O R K

The Incorporated Village of Huntington Bay, New York is nestled on the North Shore of Long Island, approximately 40 miles from Manhattan and minutes from the Town of Huntington. The area offers fine dining and shopping, access to acclaimed cultural resources and a lifestyle where luxurious living and the resplendent natural resource of Long Island Sound can be enjoyed.

The magnificence of this 3.12-acre waterfront estate is defined by the artistry of pure design matched by the natural beauty of glorious long water views and direct access to Huntington Bay. A curvilinear pea gravel drive graced by majestic specimen trees and broad verdant lawns set off by stone walls and flower beds arrives at an impeccably manicured courtyard that welcomes arrival to the luxurious main residence.

Designed and constructed by Kean Development and decorated by Victoria Hagan, it is a masterpiece that has been perfectly sited to take full advantage of panoramic water views of Huntington Bay. Masterful design and beautifully executed details define the entirety of this property. There is an all-weather tennis court surrounded by pretty lattice fencing, groomed hedges and flowering gardens. A lovely and comfortable one-bedroom cottage is perched above a heated three-vehicle garage that has a carriage house ambiance. With vaulted trussed beadboard ceilings, it features a balcony that overlooks a chipping and putting green and soothing long water views.

The spectacular heated dark-bottom gunite swimming pool reflects its stunning surroundings. It features a spa and an infinity edge that visually connects it to the bay waters beyond. It is bordered by delightful butterfly gardens, a bluestone surround and a stunning entertainer’s pool house with a pergola covered dining area. A boat house sits at the edge of the sandy beach.

Most recently added to the property, a captivating outdoor living room with a vaulted ceiling features a stone fireplace and fabulous motorized screened walls that seamlessly roll up and down to accommodate changing weather and comfort at the touch of a button. This property offers an unparalleled luxurious lifestyle perfect for today’s gracious living and entertaining.

Crowned by a cedar roof, the shingle-style main residence is composed of elements that are all at once timeless, modern and classic. Steeply sloped and eyebrow rooflines punctuated with stately red brick chimneys, large groupings of windows, spacious porches and a porte-cochere with crisp white columns and trim culminate in a sublime waterfront retreat. A spacious double height foyer with an elegant staircase and distinguished painted millwork opens to interiors that offer majestic views of lush green lawns and gardens that gently slope to the water’s edge and beyond.

Exquisitely crafted millwork tailors each room. Sophisticated design accomplishes a sense of effortless ease and grace, and the calm presence of Huntington Bay is felt throughout the home.

The foyer flows into the serene formal living room with a deep crown molding, a fireplace, a large bay window and French doors with transom and side lights that overlook an expansive covered porch with garden and water views. Ready for gatherings and celebrations, the formal dining room features paneled wainscoting and a wall of windows with transom lights. The library is wrapped with gleaming wood cabinetry, and built-in shelves line the walls. The fireplace has a marble surround. Wide plank herringbone patterned wood floors and a wood beamed ceiling add texture and warmth to the design. A handsome wet bar is tucked into a corner of the room, and it leads to a powder room. A large bay window overlooks the rear covered porch where a gas-fueled fireplace wards off evening’s chill. There are endless water views.

The heart of the home is the expansive open kitchen and family room complex. Fitted with white custom cabinetry, ceilings dressed with oak beams, an island with seating and top-of-the-line appliances, this well-planned kitchen has a place for everything. An informal dining area is beautifully set in a bay with floor-to ceiling windows that bathe the room in natural light. It has a vaulted ceiling, and French doors open to a spacious bluestone patio with a built-in barbeque that is ready for entertaining and alfresco dining. The spacious family room has an arch-topped fireplace with a raised hearth, and there are pool and water views throughout.

The second level is accessed by either the main or rear staircase. It features a bridge corridor that overlooks the light-filled foyer and leads to the sumptuous and tranquil master suite. A dramatic arch-topped wall of divided light windows and French doors set in a bay open to a balcony deck where sweeping views of the landscaped grounds and water can be enjoyed. A fireplace wall has a lovely paneled surround with display shelves. Separate dressing rooms feature custom fittings and elegant cabinetry. There are two spa-inspired master baths with luxurious amenities.

Three additional bedrooms each with en suite baths and a laundry room complete this level.

The lower level is a wonderful transformative surprise. It is furnished as an authentic Adirondack-style log cabin with a handcrafted twig banister, log walls and ceilings. The space is outfitted for billiards and games, and there is room for several furniture groupings. An entertainer’s service kitchen is fully equipped. There is a fitness room, and a bath features a steam shower and sauna. A bedroom has an en suite bath. Utility and storage rooms complete this level.

The brilliance of this property’s design is revealed through architecture and interiors that intrinsically relate to the waterfront landscape. Complete with 230 ft. of direct waterfront with a mooring, an outdoor living room with expansive entertainment patios, a boathouse, a one-bedroom cottage and three-car garage, a golfer’s putting green, a pool house overlooking the heated gunite pool and spa and an all-weather tennis court, Baywinds is truly an exquisite preeminent luxury estate.
