Walls of Glass! Leave the world and all its troubles behind as you enter this spectacular property carved out of the pristine woodland known as Coffin Woods. Once a part of the estate of Charles Coffin, founder and chairman of General Electric Company, the woods today are part of the North Shore Wildlife Sanctuary. Built in 1965, with all the artistry and style reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's School of Architecture, it is possible that this amazing mid-century-modern architectural masterpiece may have been designed by one of his students. Exquisitely melding with its wooded surroundings and plethora of specimen shrubs and trees, this approximate 3,782- square-foot, brick, cedar, and glass, five-bedroom, three-bath, two-level, skylit home (complete with a large elevator, oversized attached garage, and inviting inground pool) will delight you with ample space to stretch out and relax or entertain friends on a grand scale. As you drive up your long, wooded drive with just a glimpse of roof in the distance, you may feel stress flowing away, and, as you enjoy wooded vistas through the many picture and screened casement windows, you might delight at the sight of neighboring wildlife dropping by for a visit. For stressed executives, this serene solitude and beauty could be "just what the doctor ordered." Though seeming to be far away from our hectic lifestyle, this enchanting retreat is just a short drive from the charming shops, restaurants, and train stations of Oyster Bay and Locust Valley villages, plus it is near to marinas, golf courses, mansion museums, equestrian and walking trails, parks, hotels, hospitals, and all the many entertainment venues for which the area is known. With two front entrances, this striking home can accommodate all. If you are carrying bundles or groceries or have someone in a wheelchair, the glass-roofed porch off the driveway opens to a lower-level foyer with a 5-foot-by-3.5-foot elevator and a soaring two-story circular wall of windows. If guests arrive en mass, they can be welcomed up a brick path and steps to the main level's front porch and entrance. The walkway continues around from the front to a secluded, sparkling, and quiet inground, Gunite pool with stone surround and pool house. The home's sunny and spacious interior offers expansive vistas of verdant splendor in all the rooms through a myriad of huge picture windows and rows of casements ready to open the rooms to pleasant breezes. The main level's sunny foyer with guest closet and stairs to the lower level, opens into a flowing floor plan with a large living/dining/great room with fireplace, skylit breakfast sunroom, den with planning center, and a huge, skylit kitchen with storage galore and high-end appliances. The foyer also leads to the bedroom wing, beginning with two bedrooms offering huge windows and double closets, a shared hall bath with twin vanities, commode cubby, and tub/shower, plus a palatial and private primary suite boasting a vaulted ceiling, huge custom-fitted dressing area, a primary bath with spa, separate shower, and large vanity, plus its own private three-season porch with access to patio and pool area. The lower level provides an inviting and spacious entertainment room with fireplace, a dance floor, and a wall-length wet bar with under-cabinet refrigerator and enclosed cabinetry. A hallway leads to two more sunny bedrooms with double closets, and a full bath with large walk-in shower. Two utility rooms, two storage rooms, and the striking two-story foyer with elevator, complete this level. Come experience what true serenity and seclusion feel like and enjoy the feeling of endless space and freedom found in this magical retreat. You may wish to make some changes to suit your sense of today's style, but these are, probably, only cosmetic thanks to the excellent construction and timeless appointments designed to last through the new millennium.
