Atlantis Meets Old Westbury By LAURIE NADEL
Flowing water represents success and wealth in feng shui, the ancient Chinese system that harmonizes elements within the home to maximize its strength. At this special seven bedroom mansion, the element of water -- think Atlantis meets Old Westbury -- creates excitement, surprise, and pleasure, all of which enhance the splendor of this 10,000 square foot Mediterranean home set on three lush acres. A gated private entrance of black wrought-iron gates with gold medallions opens to a landscaped drive that leads to the majestic brick mansion, its 10-foot high mahogany front doors with elliptical windows framed in wrought iron and flanked by two stone lions. One’s first encounter with water is a large koi pond in front of the residence. Details throughout the house include exotic wood floors set in Versailles patterns, mahogany walls in the formal areas, and a hand painted ceiling dome fresco in the living room. Traditional features like French doors 52 SHAWN ELLIOTT LUXURY
in the living room and a mahogany paneled formal dining room exude palatial dignity. The theme of water as a symbol of success is evident throughout. On the lower level five 2,000-gallon floor to ceiling fish tanks face the indoor swimming pool and bar. At one time, the aquarium was home to several sharks. In addition to a 15-seat home theater/media room with Art Deco ceiling and wall features, a full wine cellar, and a fully equipped exercise room, the basement has a secret safe room that can be entered by tapping a bronze butterfly half-hidden in a wall covered in green plastic vines. The rooms are generously proportioned. On the second floor, all six bedrooms have en suite baths. The master suite has a large sitting room and oversized bathroom. On the opposite end of the hall, a casino room and full bar overlooks the koi pond and landscaped front grounds. In the backyard, an artificial three story grotto forms the backdrop for powerful waterfalls that crash into the
outdoor pool, which includes a swim-up bar. Staircases wind through the grotto to a series of small caves which include a cabana with a rain shower, sink and toilet; another bar with gas fireplace and flat-screen TV; and an in-ground Jacuzzi area. An outdoor dining area with a carved stone table, refrigerator and gas barbecue faces the pool. The entire grotto and surrounding grounds are dramatically lit at night. This spectacular home has six full and three half baths and an attached three car garage. The home boasts the latest electronic smart home features, including a digital Creston remote access control system. Built in 2006, 38 Applegreen Drive is in Jericho school district, number 15. SR
