First Floor

Main House - built by Ed Toole in 2001 and designed by the late renowned Island architect Gwynne Thorsen, its classic twin chimneys design remains brilliant today. The wide covered front porch with its welcoming Dutch door opens into a large foyer with white-washed pine flooring and dual staircases. The central living room features a double-sided wood burning fireplace to warm any dinner party guests seated nearby and large French doors opening onto the pool deck with first floor water views. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen with a concrete center island, sitting area, access to the deck and proper mud room with laundry. The mudroom opens onto a large deer-proof flower garden designed by the owner, a nationally recognized floral designer. At the opposite end of the house is a hallway with a powder room, first floor bedroom with private bathroom and French doors opening to the pool area.

Second Floor

The 2nd floor features a grand living room with gas fireplace and balcony, boasting wonderful views of the harbor and beyond Coatue where the summer yachts are moored. To the south is the primary bedroom with its own balcony and primary bathroom. To the North there are two identical guest rooms, both with private bathrooms. Extensive built-ins minimize clutter and each room is light filled with vaulted ceilings.
