L I SM O R E C O U N T RY E STAT E

The Incorporated Village of Oyster Bay Cove is located in the Town of Oyster Bay, New York on the North Shore of Long Island, approximately 35 miles from Manhattan.

Lismore is adjacent to 15-acres of land protected through easement and the North Shore Land Alliance, and Lismore is also in close proximity to the 197-acre Tiffany Creek Preserve. This resplendent 13-acre flat property is made special by the quiet buffer of surrounding conserved land and a home comprised of timeless elements and original details that evoke a refined but comfortable elegance.

Lismore offers a lifestyle where natural beauty has been preserved to enjoy.

PROPERTY AND RESIDENCE

Lismore is approached by a gravel drive with flowering perennials, shrubs and a perimeter of old growth trees.

There is a lovely open meadow to the right and a stand of crab apple trees to the left. A landscaped courtyard, flanked by low brick walls and trelliswork, greets guests to the gracious and classic three-story white clapboard Colonial home trimmed with shutters and topped with a slate roof. Majestic American elm trees provide shade. The welcoming front door with pretty glass transom fan and sidelights leads to a vestibule with mirror image door detail that opens to the inviting entry foyer. A graceful curved staircase sweeps beautifully to the second level. Oriented to rear facing southern exposures, the elegant formal living and dining rooms are generously sized and beautifully scaled. Through oversized windows and French doors, they overlook lawns and gardens and a brick terrace– splendid for entertaining. A handsome library is wrapped in pine paneling that was reclaimed from an estate in Connecticut and installed with masterful craftsmanship to include builtin shelves and hidden cabinetry. All three rooms have wood burning fireplaces with finely carved mantles.

Originally built in 1948, the residence underwent a complete renovation and expansion of the kitchen as well as the addition of a spacious and light-filled family room — enhancing the home for today’s lifestyle. The kitchen complex features custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a large prep island with seating, top-of-theline integrated appliances and red oak floors that flow into the family room. There is a sizable butler’s pantry with walls of storage, sink, dishwasher and original plate warmer.

The bright and open family room features a high tray ceiling, focal point palladian window, built-in cabinetry, a raised hearth fireplace and a pair of French doors. Each room is designed with attractive traditional details, and the scale is perfect for large gatherings.

The luxurious master suite is comprised of a restful bedroom with sitting area and fireplace, dressing room with deep closets and en suite bath. Four additional bedrooms and three baths, a sitting room, an office and back staircase complete this floor.

The third floor has five dormers that provide light and add charm to the two bedrooms and the landing which is set up as a reading nook. Each bedroom has a fireplace.

There are two baths and storage — including an enormous cedar closet.

THE PROPERTY

Views from the home extend to verdant lawns and a mature perennial cutting garden with picket fence encircling the sparkling in-ground gunite pool. There is a delightful grapevine covered arbor over a bluestone terrace, cabana pool house with a changing room, summer kitchen and outdoor shower.

Elegant and comfortable living is found in this refined home with classic details, beautiful gardens, tasteful updates and the sanctuary of nature preserved.
