OPEN HOUSE
PERFECT FOR NATURE BUFFS
growing family. It was completed
in 1965.
This 14-room, two-story home with
soaring ceilings is characterized
by a master plan that encourages
connection with the unspoiled
sanctuary of nature.
Cotton points to the home’s celebrated
mid-century modern design
elements incorporated into the
façade, and notes that the house is
composed of poured concrete, brick
and glass, and topped by a lead-coated
copper roof.
Thanks to the homeowner’s thoughtful
design plan, the first-floor formal
living and formal dining rooms
offer floor-to-ceiling French doors
overlooking Great Meadow Creek.
Wrapped in handsome wood
paneling, the library also features
floor-to-ceiling French doors that
invite views of the outdoors. All three
rooms have wood-burning fireplaces,
perfect for chilly winter nights, as
well as herringbone-patterned Brazilian
rosewood floors.
Each of the first-level rooms are
unified in design with waffle ceilings
(made of concrete that has been
poured into square forms) and each
repetitive square has a light fixture
that reflects light up to the ceiling, so
when illuminated, the rooms glow
with soft light that casts no shadows,
Cotton points out.
Wrapped in elegant wood paneling, the cozy library also boasts herringbone-patterned Brazilian rosewood
floors and floor-to-ceiling French doors revealing more nature views.
“This unique element is continued
outdoors to the broad overhang that
surrounds the home, architecturally
blurring the lines between the
indoors and outdoors,” she explains.
The second floor has an atrium
landing offering wonderful views
of Great Meadow, with changing
seasonal views that captivate. And
the master suite, with wood-burning
fireplace and spa bath, has access to
balconies with even more views of
Long Island Sound, Lloyd Harbor and
beyond. Six additional bedrooms and
four full baths comprise the second
level. In addition, the home offers an
inviting eat-in kitchen with pantry, as
well as a comfortable porch designed
for total relaxation, and detached
garage.
With approximately 6,600 interior
square feet of luxury surrounded by
nature, the property, which includes
the possibility of being subdivided,
offers so much beauty and functionality
for just $6,000,000.

property are Vera J. Wiedenhaefer
