The timeless appeal of Long Island’s North Shore is legendary. Today, this is still one of the most attractive regions in New York, defined by beautiful beaches and tree-lined roads that wind past gracious homes and historic properties. Mill Neck is an Incorporated Village, adjacent to the quaint village of Locust Valley. Thirty miles east of Manhattan, Mill Neck is close to the Long Island Railroad, fine dining, shopping, cultural arts centers, beaches, marinas and two international airports.

Approached down a country lane, brick pillars mark the entrance to Beechfield, a handsome Georgian manor tailored in red brick, with a slate roof and windows framed by wood shutters. The home embodies classic Georgian architecture in its size, scale and proportion, and encompasses over 3 acres of lush, natural beauty. A long, gravel drive leads past mature trees, rolling lawns and well-tended gardens to a broad courtyard at the main entrance. Greenery outlines the residence and a bluestone terrace stretches across the back of the house.

Upon entering, symmetry, proportion and scale define the interior, which hosts generously proportioned rooms marked by ornamental details, high ceilings and tall windows. Combining timeless, formal and informal living space, the house boasts open and airy views of the property and gardens from every room. Beautifully appointed with fine architectural details, the residence includes a spectacular central hall, living room, formal dining room, chef’s kitchen with breakfast area, library and guest wing on the first floor. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, a powder room and 5 fireplaces. The basement has a second laundry, full bath, storage and a mirrored exercise room. The home offers every amenity, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, top-of-the-line appliances, guest quarters, fiber optic cable, new Sonos sound system on first floor, master bedroom, pool and pool house, high efficiency air conditioning and security systems, whole-house generator and multiple zones for climate control. There is a 3-car attached garage, as well as a 3-car detached garage.

The main entrance opens onto the stunning front-to-back reception foyer with marble flooring and beautiful curved staircase. Traditional, intricate crown dentil molding and door pediments line the public rooms. A powder room is conveniently located off of the main hall.

T H E M AST E R S U I T E The master suite is roomy and private. Perfectly proportioned, it features a gas fireplace, carpeting and two walk-in outfitted closets. Triple doors open onto a large balcony with broad views of the gardens and grounds.

Two additional bedrooms on the second floor offer numerous windows, closets and en suite full baths. Also on the second floor is a generous all-season closet. The third floor is a large private hideaway with multiple windows, high ceilings and additional storage. The versatile room can be ideally used as an extra bedroom or a wonderful playroom.

W E LC O M E TO YO U R OAS I S O F P R I VACY Formal gardens and walled terraces create an oasis of privacy and comfort. Lofty deciduous and evergreen trees and sculpted formal garden beds brimming with vivid perennials line the enclosing walls, as well as the property’s expansive perimeter. Roses, cherry and flowering fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and lush Rhododendrons flourish amid a dense carpet of rolling lawn. Terraces are entered through numerous doors. Formal elements, such as low brick walls, statuary and rose gardens add interest and pleasure. It is evident that a commanding use of scale has been used in the carefully organized plantings. Landscape lighting and planters brimming with lush flowers further enhance the setting. Mature specimen trees, including smooth-bark beech trees, crabapple trees and Leland cypress, remain as a mature and established presence on the expansive arboretum-quality grounds. Nearby is a sparkling heated gunite saltwater pool, which reflects the Palladian style pool house. The pool house is tailored for the setting, with covered living room, a kitchenette and changing room with full bath, storage room and adjoining greenhouse. Surrounded by native woods, the grounds are supremely private.
