Rijetko i izvanredno imanje s pogledom na vodu iz 1896. smješteno u prestižnoj Red Spring Colony u Glen Coveu, nudi ekskluzivna prava na plažu Red Spring Colony. Ova pažljivo restaurirana vila besprijekorno spaja povijesnu raskoš s modernim luksuzom na 1,34 hektara uređenih vrtova, mirnih šumica, blistavog bazena s vodopadom, spa-centrom koji gleda na Long Island Sound. S pričom bogatom kao i njezina arhitektura, Leahead je izvorno izgradio Henry W. J. Bucknall, poslovni čovjek rođen u Engleskoj i uspješan uvoznik pluta. Godine 1897., Bucknall je kupio parcelu od pet hektara u tada novoformiranom naselju za elitu New Yorka. Imanje je nazvao Leahead prema svom domu predaka u Engleskoj, postavši jedan od prvih koji se naselio u onome što će postati iznimno tražena Red Spring Colony. Sama kuća ostaje posveta zanatstvu svog doba, s blistavim drvenim podovima, složeno rezbarenim drvenim oblogama, visokim kazetiranim i otvorenim stropovima s gredama te šest predivnih kamina. Prozori s olovnim staklom i ogromna originalna klizna vrata, dizajnirana da upotpune arhitektonski karakter svake prostorije, pružaju osjećaj elegancije i kontinuiteta posvuda. Ovi veličanstveni unutarnji prostori idealni su za zabave velikog razmjera, ali jednako su prikladni za udoban svakodnevni život. U središtu doma nalazi se impresivna prijemna dvorana, okrunjena velikim svjetlarnikom koji ispunjava prostor prirodnim svjetlom. Odavde se osvjetljava veličanstvena dvorana za bankete s bačvastim svodom, monumentalnim kaminom od vapnenca i francuskim vratima koja se otvaraju na terasu. Susjedna formalna dnevna soba ima vlastiti kamin, veliki erker prozor i dodatna francuska vrata koja vode na još jedan patio s panoramskim pogledom na vodu. Lijepo zakrivljeno stubište graciozno se uzdiže do galerije knjižnice smještene iznad velike sobe s tajnim vratima do toaleta. Ogromni podrum kuće uključuje smještaj za osoblje i značajan prostor za pohranu, nudeći dodatnu fleksibilnost za razne namjene. Na otprilike 540 četvornih metara (ne uključujući podrum), ova izuzetna rezidencija nudi nezamjenjivu kombinaciju karaktera, veličine, lokacije i luksuza.

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. More than just a home, Leahead is a legacy estate—an extraordinary piece of Long Island’s Gold Coast history, now ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
