Large Palladian windows flood the interior with natural light, accentuating fine details like the wainscotting and ornate carvings through all corners of the home. Two additional residences—a guest cottage and a Carriage house—and a mid-century modern-style pool house next to the oversized Gunite pool will delight any guest. Look to the future while embracing the remarkable past of Laurel Hill, surrounded by Long Island’s most coveted region.
