HUNTINGTON BAY COMPOUND OFFERS
BY TAMMY SCILEPPI
It’s easy to fall in love with this timeless
gem, which offers picture-perfect
sunset water views across Huntington
and Lloyd harbors.
Located at 142 E. Shore Road in
Huntington Bay, this sprawling, modern
style, completely updated Victorian
built on a one-acre lot around 1893
comes complete with a charming, fully
functional, two-story guest cottage; a
tranquil stream; and lots of room to
roam. The asking price is $1,850,000.
“This magnificent waterfront compound
is truly a rare find,” says
broker/owner Joyce Mennella of
Lucky To Live Here Realty in Cold
Spring Harbor. “The sunsets are remarkable
from the front porch and
the direct water access to enjoy water
sports, etc. is perfect during warmer
months. You can take your kayak and
jump right in or enjoy private waterfront
dining every night.”
Guests will love the peaceful waterfall
and backyard fireplace in
the rear patio – a perfect space for
entertaining and unwinding. The
advantage of having a private cottage
is immeasurable.
“My favorite feature is the separate
guest cottage,” says Mennella. “It has
its own kitchen, two bedrooms, one
and a half bathrooms, laundry and
rec space — really great when family
or friends visit.”
The homeowners, who bought the
property 19 years ago and raised their
five children there, have enjoyed the
stellar views from their wonderful
front covered porch. Another perk:
They could moor their boat right in
front of their home.
The main house offers a whopping
5,000 square feet of living/entertaining
space that includes six
bedrooms, an en-suite master, four
full bathrooms plus one half bath,
formal dining room, and a huge
family room. Eye-catching interior
features include extensive millwork
and architectural detail throughout.
Updates include a new kitchen and
library complete with wine/beverage
fridge, family room, and three bathrooms.
They also put in a new heating
OPEN HOUSE
Stellar water views, direct water access, and a charming guest cottage make this home the ultimate family compound.
Guests will love the peaceful waterfall and backyard fireplace in the
rear patio – a perfect spot for entertaining and unwinding.
