563 Asharoken Ave, Incorporated Village of Asharoken⋅Northport, NY

The Crest is one of the original and iconic Asharoken estates built at the turn of the last century by Oakley DeLamater, thoughtfully set on 5 exquisitely maintained acres of rolling lawn, specimen trees and perennial gardens with water views of Duck Island Harbor and Long Island Sound. This classic 8-bedroom, 6.55-bath manse has been meticulously restored starting with the interior walls, floors, doors, windows, hardware, wiring, operating systems and of course, the grounds. Local architectural and landscape restoration professionals were hired to oversee the home's resurrection; the result is a stellar offering that exudes grace and warmth. It begins with notable stone pillared mechanized gates and the 800' drive down the crushed stone driveway (curbed with original NYC Belgian block) to the spacious motor court. The expansive fabulous front porch frames the entry. Sun-filled interiors feature rich ash floors, high ceilings, generous moldings, five fireplaces and timeless millwork; principal rooms, including the grand dining room, formal living room, and screened side porch, are perfectly scaled with outstanding views. Bedrooms on the second and third floors include a primary suite and 2 guest suites, comfortably arranged in wings for privacy. Superior grounds, well-kept systems, a detached 3-car garage, seawall beach slip on Asharoken Avenue for Sound access($ 63 yr) and deeded rights to Eatons Harbor Corporation (dues approx. $470/yr) complete this genteel and supremely peaceful retreat.
