Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
This property has been in our family since 1951. We grew up across the street where my grandparents had an old country club as a home. In the summer we would go down to the property and take out their cabin cruiser out or just sit on the boat and have lunch. In 1997 we started working on the permits to build and in 2006 we finally received the last permit and our dream house was built. It is our intention to keep the house in the family for many years. We decided to rent the house to defer the costs of maintaining it as well as let other people share in the experience of what has been called "it's own nature preserve". The 100 acres of nature preserves have the development rights sold off so no more homes can be built on that land. We have had some of our fondest memories here. There have been weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, Super Bowl parties as well as family reunions and holiday and Corporate events. Although the North Fork has been known to be a summer vacation destination, some of the prettiest times are in the fall, winter and spring. The house faces due South which gives the property some of the most gorgeous sunrises and sunsets ever to be seen. At night the sky is so clear you can see the stars from within the house.
Why the Owner Chose Southold
My family has been visiting or living in Southold since 1941. My grandparents had a summer house here commuting from
Queens and eventually moved here and opened up my grandfather's law practice. My dad retired from commercial real estate with Mc Donald's and opened up his own real estate office here. Our family grew and my brother and sister are "true North Forker's" from birth. A birth right I can not say I share having been born in Syracuse NY. Although I started in kindergarden here, I don't hold the same title they do. When you see the bumper stickers "I was born on the North Fork" you will remember this and hopefully smile in knowing what that means to the "true locals". They are very proud of their heritage here, as I am too. There is no better place or memories than the North Fork for our family.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Having a cup of coffee or a glass of local wine and getting lost in the views. No matter what time of day or what time of year, good or bad weather it's always gorgeous! I love having the music playing in every room of the house, with the fire places on, lights dim and just taking it all in. Sitting at the butcher block island and talking to family and friends while cooking in the kitchen is one of my most favorite times. There are two wing back chairs in the kitchen along with a little table where people comfortably sit while I work away and they relax. The ceilings on the top floor where the great room and kitchen are vaulted with toung and grove cedar planks. When you walk into this area and see the water and wet lands behind it everyone gasps for breath. It's impossible to describe the sunsets and the constilations that you can view from inside our home. There are many times we rush home from where ever we are to make it home in time for a few of "God's wonders he gave to us"! You truely have to see it to believe it. We can't wait to share it with you!!
