Leahead – Muzejska kvaliteta, sofisticirani sustavi grijanja i hlađenja. Remek-djelo s pogledom na vodu Gold Coast s ekskluzivnim pravima na plažu. Rijetko i izuzetno imanje s pogledom na vodu iz 1896. godine u prestižnoj Red Spring Colony u Glen Coveu, s ekskluzivnim pravima na plažu Red Spring Colony Beach. Ova s ljubavlju obnovljena vila besprijekorno spaja povijesnu grandioznost s modernim luksuzom na 1,34 hektara uređenih vrtova, mirnim šumarcima, blistavim bazenom s vodopadom, spa centrom, s pogledom na Long Island Sound. S pričom bogatom kao i njezina arhitektura, Leahead je izvorno izgradio Henry W. J. Bucknall, britanski poduzetnik i uspješan uvoznik pluta. Godine 1897., Bucknall je kupio parcelu od pet hektara u tada novo formiranom naselju za elitu New Yorka. Vilu je nazvao Leahead po svom praroditeljskom domu u Engleskoj, postavši jedan od prvih koji su se naselili u onome što će postati vrlo tražena Red Spring Colony. Sama kuća ostaje počast zanatstvu svog vremena, sa sjajnim drvenim podovima, zamršeno isklesanim drvenim oblogama, visokim stropovima s kasetama i otvorenim gredama, te šest izuzetnih kamina. Prozori s olovnim staklom i ogromna originalna klizna vrata, dizajnirana da nadopune arhitektonski karakter svake sobe, pružaju osjećaj elegancije i kontinuiteta posvuda. Ovi veliki unutarnji prostori idealni su za zabave u velikom mjerilu, ali jednako su prikladni za udoban svakodnevni život. U srcu kuće leži impresivna prijemna dvorana, okrunjena velikim svjetlarnikom koji ispunjava prostor prirodnim svjetlom. Odavde se rezidencija razvija u veličanstvenu banketnu dvoranu s bačvastim svodom, monumentalnim kaminom od vapnenca i francuskim vratima koja se otvaraju na terasu. Pridružena formalna dnevna soba ima vlastiti kamin, veliki prozor i dodatna francuska vrata koja vode na drugu terasu s panoramskim pogledom na vodu. Zakrivljeno stubište elegantno se uzdiže do balkonske knjižnice smještene iznad velike prostorije s panelima i tajnim vratima do toaleta. Ogroman podrum kuće uključuje prostor za osoblje i značajan prostor za pohranu, nudeći dodatnu fleksibilnost za različite namjene. S površinom od približno 5.811 četvornih stopa (ne uključujući podrum), ova izvanredna rezidencija nudi nezamjenjiv spoj karaktera, veličine, lokacije i luksuza. Također je energetski certificirana kuća sa sofisticiranim, računalo kontroliranim centralnim sustavom grijanja i hlađenja koji osigurava udobnost tijekom cijele godine.

Leahead – Museum-quality, sophisticated heating and cooling systems. A Gold Coast Water View Masterpiece with Exclusive Beach Rights. A rare and remarkable 1896 water view estate in Glen Cove’s prestigious Red Spring Colony, offering exclusive beach rights to Red Spring Colony Beach. This lovingly restored mansion seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern luxury on 1.34 acres of landscaped gardens, tranquil woodlands, a sparkling pool with waterfall, a spa, overlooking the Long Island Sound. With a story as rich as its architecture, Leahead was originally built by Henry W. J. Bucknall, an English-born businessman and successful cork importer. In 1897, Bucknall purchased a five-acre parcel in what was then a newly forming enclave for New York’s elite. He named the estate Leahead after his ancestral home in England, becoming one of the first to settle in what would become the highly sought-after Red Spring Colony. The home itself remains a tribute to the craftsmanship of its era, featuring gleaming hardwood floors, intricately carved wood paneling, high coffered and open-beam ceilings, and six exquisite fireplaces. Leaded-glass windows and enormous original pocket doors, designed to complement the architectural character of each room, offer a sense of elegance and continuity throughout. These grand interior spaces are ideal for entertaining on a large scale, yet equally suited to comfortable everyday living. At the heart of the home lies the impressive reception hall, crowned by a large skylight that fills the space with natural light. From here, the residence unfolds into a magnificent banquet hall with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, a monumental limestone fireplace, and French doors that open onto a terrace. The adjoining formal living room features its own fireplace, a large bay window, and additional French doors leading to another patio with panoramic water views. An arched staircase rises gracefully to a balcony library set above the paneled great room with a secret door to the powder room. The home’s vast basement includes staff quarters and significant storage space, offering additional flexibility for a variety of uses. At approximately 5,811 square feet (not including basement), this exceptional residence offers an irreplaceable combination of character, size, location, and luxury. It is also an Energy Star-certified home with a sophisticated, computer-controlled central heating and cooling system that ensures comfort year-round. Generator, new oil tank 2025.
