Shy 4 Acres! Flax Pond Prestige! A waterfront home that shines in every season - 110' of waterfront frontage - One irreplaceable Setting! A rare North-Shore waterfront opportunity, set back from the road and positioned on the most sought-after waterfront views of Flax Pond, Crane Neck and the LI Sound with beach access! After 45 years, the sellers are ready to pass on the title of this once-in-a-lifetime waterfront estate! The home, once a cabin hunting lodge in the 20's was purchased by Mr. Walcott, a Professor of Biology from SUNY Stony Brook in the 60's. A New England native, Mr. Walcott purposely instructed the architect to design a house to appear as an older Saltbox-style home which expanded gradually over many years; hence the multiple roof levels and somewhat irregular layout. While some internal modernization has been undertaken by the present owners, the original character of this house has been respected. The southern meadow, meanwhile, became partially forested and transformed into a scenic lawn, both home to local wildlife, while the northern lawn has reliably served as a front lawn, bird sanctuary, and a thorough and reliable protection against the sea. Bird watch, Kayak, commune with nature and enjoy the harmony of water and wilderness, experiencing the best of both worlds. A home so warm and welcoming. You'll love the sunsets over the water that take your breath away - no matter the season....
