Surrounded by a well-maintained native privacy landscape, enter a magical place where organic materials, inspired design and elegant charm come together to create one of the most unique homes in Oyster Bay. Custom, artistic, interior details, personally sourced by the builder/remodeler, including Altusa fume clay s-tile roof, Mexican tile floors, hand-painted tile accents, carved stone fireplace mantel and surround, hand-painted sinks, and hand-thrown clay sconces and pendants. Add the warmth of natural wood baseboards, casings, cabinetry, exposed ceiling beams and plantation shutters. Finish with high-end Andersen windows protected by decorative, stay-in-place azure hurricane shutters. Every detail was thoughtfully selected for an elegant yet free-spirited lifestyle. At the heart of the home, the well-connected social areas include dining, living, kitchen, covered lanai, open deck and 40 x 14 heated pool. The kitchen has custom wood cabinetry, Du Verre bronze hardware and fossil marble countertops. High-end appliances include Fisher & Paykel dual-fuel range with side-by-side ovens. It's hard not to feel a little spoiled as you step into the luxurious owners' quarters. An open hallway, with windows to a courtyard garden on one side, lead past dual walk-in closets, dual bath areas, and open walk-in shower to a tranquil retreat. The bedroom has a cathedral ceiling with exposed wood beams and trapezoid windows over sliding glass doors to the screened-in pool that echoes the ceiling geometry of the room. Magnificent.

Equally enticing inside and out, this enchanting home exudes comfort without sacrificing architectural intrigue.
