Round Table Manor - Sands Point, New York

ROUND TABLE MANOR SANDS POINT, NEW YORK

Built in 1926 for the American illustrator, portrait painter and member of the Algonquin Round Table set, Neysa McMein, this magnificent estate has been updated with sophisticated and tasteful finishes that culminate in an upscale and luxurious home of distinction. With gracious lines, the residence has a vibrant connection to the enjoyment of its delightful surround. Oriented to long sunlight-filled water views of Manhasset Bay along the expansive southern-facing back of the home, its many window groupings and French doors visually expand the indoor living spaces to the outdoors. Crowned by a steep multi-gabled roof that is punctuated with dormers and chimneys, the residence is unified in design by a stucco façade and windows dressed with green shutters.

A secluded curvilinear drive gently winds past towering oak trees and verdant lawns to arrive at a manicured courtyard that welcomes visitors to the stately Colonial residence. Complemented by 2.76-acres of enchanted flowering gardens and harmonious hardscape, expansive patios for relaxing and dining, and a heated swimming pool, Round Table Manor offers a luxurious and refined lifestyle perfect for today’s living and entertaining.

Once inside, the double-height foyer welcomes and impresses and a long gallery hall runs along the east-west axis of the residence. Here, classic architecture has met a forwardthinking design aesthetic in beautifully scaled principal rooms that feature richly stained oak floors and attractive updates.

Walls of windows and French doors softly bathe the interiors in natural light and provide access to expansive patios, gardens and the delightful swimming pool. Setting the stage for elegant entertaining, wide French doors with side lights open into the dining room which features subtly textured Venetian plaster walls and a centerpiece bay window that frames lush garden views. A wood burning fireplace with a handsome updated mantle and surround is the anchor of the formal living room.

There is ample space for several furniture groupings. Side-byside French doors offer lovely views and access to the back gardens. French doors also flank the fireplace. On one side, they introduce a three-season sunroom with a terra cotta floor and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unobstructed views of the sparkling swimming pool. On the other side, the French doors lead to a bar room/salon with a sublime entertainer’s wet bar featuring stainless steel and antique glass. Combined, these rooms have wonderful flow, and they expand the possibilities for gracious entertaining.

The kitchen complex opens to a comfortable den creating a wonderful space for both relaxed gatherings and gourmet cooking. Highlights of the thoughtfully planned state-ofthe-art kitchen include white custom cabinetry with quartz countertops and an attractive micro-linear stacked glass backsplash that is also seamlessly integrated into the custom range hood. There is a large island with seating, and a full suite of Thermador appliances includes a six-burner range with ovens, refrigerator/freezer, microwave and two Bosch dishwashers. Next to the informal dining area, French doors open to a charming low-walled patio with a wisteria covered pergola that provides shade and an intimate place for al fresco dining. There is a large pantry, a well-equipped laundry room, a refined powder room and a mud room.

The second level opens to a luxurious and tranquil primary suite. It features a fireplace with a carved limestone mantle and stylish tile surround that transforms the fireplace into an eye-catching focal point. A bank of casement windows at the far end of the room provides a superb setting for a comfortable seating area to relax and enjoy panoramic views of the gardens and Manhasset Bay. A generous dressing room has built-in custom fittings and tremendous storage. The sumptuous en suite bath is like a jewel. Marble complements a richly toned wood vanity with two sinks. There is a steam shower with a rainfall shower head, and a jetted soaking tub is tucked beneath a bay window with water views. There are three additional bedrooms each with handsome wainscoting that adds richness and interest to their design. One of the bedrooms has an en suite bath. The two other bedrooms share a bathroom featuring a marble topped vanity with two sinks. There is an office overlooking the front courtyard.

Stairs lead to the third level that opens to a fitness room with a bath. There are two spacious bonus rooms and storage.

The lower level features casual recreation and billiard areas and a utility/storage room.
