WATERFRONT ESTATE OFFERS SMART,
BY TAMMY SCILEPPI
A breathtaking grand entry with
sweeping dual staircase is the star
of this gated waterfront estate in the
heart of Babylon Village.
“Stunning home with gorgeous views
from every room of the Great South
Bay. Perfect sunrises and sunsets,”
says listing agent Tammy Ramsay of
Eric G. Ramsay Jr. Associates LLC in
Bay Shore.
Experience 9,329 square feet of highend,
resort-style living, and enjoy
tons of entertaining space. All for
just $3,695,000.
This sprawling mansion at 199 Peninsula
Drive is nestled in a private
cul-de-sac and surrounded by 557
feet of coastal magnificence.
With easy access to Fire Island, the
property graces 1.21 acres and occupies
three quarters of the peninsula
bordered on the east by the Carlls
River. Unique amenities include a
deep water slip that can accommodate
up to a 55-foot yacht with 18-foot
beam. There are two Jet Ski lifts and
one 10,000-pound boat lift that can
accommodate a 26-foot boat.
“Nothing competes with life on the
water," says seller Tom Sweeney, who
has lived at the home with wife Fran
and their family for 19 years. “It’s like
living at a five-star resort that you
actually own.”
Other cool amenities include a
12-person spa Jacuzzi and 45-foot by
20-foot Gunite pool with waterfall,
a fully equipped outdoor kitchen,
800-bottle wine cellar, and 3,000
square feet of custom Saturnia flooring
from Turkey. In addition, this
smart home offering a cornucopia of
special high-tech features is conveniently
located less than a mile from
the Long Island Rail Road’s Babylon
station.
“Babylon is a great community,”
says Sweeney. “It has a small-town
atmosphere, with great neighbors.
Everything you could ever want and
desire is nearby.”
Walk to downtown restaurants,
shops, the theater; enjoy concerts at
the gazebo; and visit arts and crafts
events and flea markets. There’s
even a hiking trail and paddle
boating.
The homeowners, now empty nesters
looking to downsize, moved into the
house as their sons were entering
high school and raised them there
