Every inch of this stunning 22,000 square foot palace is loaded with ornate detailing throughout dozens of light, bright rooms that would make any maximalist or francophine drool with happiness.
The enormous, winding marble staircase leading to the home’s second floor is enough to make architectural dreams come true. Just imagine the stately family photos and the weddings that could take place here!
If you’re not already familiar with Old Brookville, it’s an upscale village on Long Island’s North Shore. Nassua County is home to some of the wealthiest New Yorkers in the State, and Old Brookville is considered the area’s most luxurious hamlet with only 2,000 or so residents.
“The sprawling mansion is spread across two wings which house a large chef’s kitchen, lavish living rooms and drawing rooms complete with wood burning fireplaces and chandeliers, a formal dining room, wet bar, and luxurious primary suite with his/her primary bathrooms and closets.”
The massive French-inspired kitchen with chic white, wood, marble and black finishing is a timeless nod to high-end European design preferences. It also reminds us a bit of Monet’s kitchen in Giverny, France.
The dining spaces are no less impressive thanks to massive ceilings, complete window treatments everywhere you look, the type of breakfast nook that would make professional chefs and seasoned home cooks scream with delight. Hand-carved wooden details on almost every inch of space, a vintage enameled vent hood and swoon-worthy copper fixtures round out the space.
It’s the type of cooking space you’d be thrilled to displace your collection of vintage cast iron skillets and coffee advent calendars.
Several working wood-burning fireplaces adorn each wing of the home, lending dozens of excellent spots for Christmas revelry and oodles of the best stocking stuffer ideas for men, women and kids to be artfully displayed.
But it’s the eight majestic bedrooms and master bathroom we love most. Soft, feminine pink hues dotted with gold accents, bits of cream and timeless green make these spaces absolute fit for a queen.
A whopping 10.5 bathrooms dot the estate, each more beautiful and grandiose than the one before.
“The residence sits behind 22-foot stately gates down a quarter-mile-long treelined driveway and unfolds on over 8 acres of meticulously manicured grounds.”
The property sits comfortable on over 8 acres, lending plenty of space for additional outbuildings like an extended multi-car garage or guest cottage.
Truly, every room here is a priceless museum-quality space worthy of preservation for generations despite only being built in 2017.
And if you’ve had your fill of feminine French details, check out this jaw-dropping Hunter Mountain ski chalet with log cabin finishes and mind-blowing views.
