About this home
Exquisite setting on 2.62 acres at the end of a quiet road in Cold Spring Harbor, this extraordinary 1931 French-Normandy residence, originally part of the historic Pierson estate known as Dove Cote, presents a remarkable blend of architectural provenance and contemporary design. Designed by Harvey, Stevenson, Thomas & Studds and constructed of granite and brick beneath a European terracotta Ludowici roof, the residence recently underwent a comprehensive interior renovation under the direction of Italian designer Gennaro Fattore. An entrance of mature linden trees leads to a bluestone-and-gravel drive and gracious courtyard. Distinctive architectural elements include a turret, substantial granite stonework, copper gutters, 7 fireplaces, original carved doors and millwork, hand-hewn beams, and beautifully restored period details. The main level unfolds through generously proportioned living and dining rooms, a library with concealed speakeasy bar, office with adjacent full bath, restored butler's pantry, mudroom and laundry. At the heart of the home, the striking Bulthaup kitchen pairs white and charcoal cabinetry with a sculptural flamed-granite island and appliances by ILVE, Miele and Sub-Zero, opening to informal dining and media spaces with direct access to the pool and gardens. Upstairs, white-stained oak floors extend throughout five bedrooms, including the primary suite with fireplace, custom Porro dressing room and walk-in closet, and a flamed-granite bath with architectural shower. Additional bedrooms feature original fireplaces, custom cabinetry and well-appointed baths, complemented by an exercise room and extensive storage. The landscaped grounds provide an exceptional backdrop for outdoor living, with expansive lawns, mature specimen trees, flowering gardens and a large bluestone terrace. A heated Gunite pool with automatic cover, hot tub, walled gardens, bronze fountain, outdoor speakers, irrigation, landscape lighting, detached three-car garage, and automatic generator complete this distinctive Cold Spring Harbor estate, where historic architecture, meticulous restoration and modern design come together making this home truly extraordinary. Eagle Dock Beach for CSH residents to join with fee.
