Called Somerset, the 10.6-acre property's main house was inspired by the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia.
The estate, listed for $10.6 million, rivals homes in the Hamptons for its charm, history, views and classic East Coast elements. It sprawls over 10.6 acres, which includes expansive lawns; a long, hedge-lined driveway; ponds with fountains; a wooded nature preserve; mature trees; and lush gardens. There is also 700 feet of water frontage with seemingly endless views of Smithtown Bay and the Long Island Sound.
Despite the near-century-long history of the property, the interiors are remarkably intact. In fact, restoration efforts paired with modern updates make this storied home feel decidedly appropriate for today’s buyer. However, for history buffs, many 1930s design elements remain, like the grand spiral staircase, moldings and polished wood doors. “You don’t feel like you’re in a museum, but you certainly sense the history when you step inside,” says co-listing agent Tom Postilio.
There are seven bedrooms and five bathrooms across the home’s 9,000 square feet, as well as a wine cellar, pool and pool house. A library, formal dining room, office, spacious living room and covered terraces complete the picture. There is also plenty of wall space to hang a prestigious art collection, as the current seller has done, and several fireplaces. Each room is also filled with natural light and has views over the water or the land.
Many prominent families have called Somerset home, including Gilbert Greenway of the Lauder Greenway family. George Lauder, Gilbert’s grandfather, co-founded the Carnegie Steel Corporation with Andrew Carnegie. The family were also patrons of the arts and donated to the Lincoln Center, the New York Philharmonic and more.Many period-style decorative elements can be found within the home.
