The great statesman, Daniel Webster, (January 18, 1782 – October 24, 1852) famously commented, “The Long Island Sound is our American Mediterranean.”
Indeed, it is.
Summerwind.
This waterfront enclave, nestled along a singularly picturesque stretch of the Long Island Sound, boasts epic sunrise and sunset views.
With architecture and design by renowned architects CetraRuddy, the thoughtfully curated plan demonstrates timeless elegance and understated luxury.
The exterior, clad in white stucco and accented with fossilized Atlantic shell stone, is complemented by a striking clay tile roof; a design meticulously overseen by renowned color experts Ludowici.
11-foot-tall double iron entry doors open to the 50-foot-long foyer; its intricately carved and painted wood ceilings, soaring to a height of 24 feet, make an indelible first impression.
Antique black and white marble and smoked European oak herringbone floors throughout exude Old World charm, and the hand-forged wrought iron balusters and intricately hand-carved newel posts of the staircase add a touch of whimsy.
Hosting guests is a pleasure in the banquet-sized dining room, where a 17th-century Louis XIII limestone fireplace takes center stage, complemented by a wet bar, wine chilling, and seating for up to 24 guests.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and a chef’s dream, featuring an elevated fireplace with 300-year-old French terracotta tiles, ideal for wood-fired cooking. Ample custom cabinetry with brass Waterworks hardware offers plentiful storage, with a state-of-the-art Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite.
The library boasts a stunning 1920s Baccarat chandelier and a wood-burning fireplace framed by a meticulously carved stone hearth from Orvieto, Italy, circa 1710.
The sunken music room, framed by an entire wall of windows, overlooks the Long Island Sound, offering the ultimate indoor vantage point for the most epic golden hour sunsets.
The Moroccan-themed, south-facing conservatory is bathed in sunlight from early morning to mid-afternoon, providing very content plants hibernating in this warm and happy space. In the evening, the soft glow of a circa 1940 Murano fixture transforms the setting into a cozy gathering spot.
Each of the five bedrooms offers en-suite bathrooms and outdoor space overlooking the stunning Long Island Sound. (Two of the five bedrooms feature wood-burning fireplaces).
An extraordinarily appointed lounge, inspired by Ralph Lauren’s legendary Polo Bar, defines the home’s lower level. Additional amenities here include a soundproof projection room, full wet bar, a listening lounge with professional audio tuning for vinyl aficionados, gym with traditional and infrared saunas, expansive laundry room, 3-car garage, and another en-suite bedroom, ensuring every need is met in this exceptional home.
The grounds of this very private property include a trellised rose garden, a stone fire pit, Italian wrought-iron daybeds, a full Hestan outdoor kitchen, and a private beach with retractable stairs. Situated equidistant between Long Beach and Short Beach on Long Island’s sophisticated North Shore, all watersports are readily available, including nearby dockage and mooring rights.
Other notable local attractions include the beloved Saint James General Store (a National Register of Historic Places landmark), Harmony Vineyards, Avalon Nature Preserve, canoeing and kayaking on the Nissequogue River, equestrian facilities, a private golf club, and boating on the Long Island Sound.
