Ova veličanstvena kuća, prvotno sagrađena 1881. godine, stoji kao jedna od najranijih i najistaknutijih ljetnih "vikendica" u Quogueu. Dizajnirao ju je priznati arhitekt Isaac Green, čije su raskošne palače krasile južnu obalu Long Islanda tijekom doba bogatstva, a ova velika rezidencija, koja nosi ime "Bella Mar", bogata je arhitektonskim naslijeđem i kulturnom poviješću. Među njenim značajnim bivšim vlasnicima nalazi se i dobitnik Tony nagrade, redatelj i dramatičar Arthur Laurents (West Side Story), koji je u 1950-ima podijelio prvotnu strukturu na dvije rezidencije, od kojih se druga sada nalazi pored, na 109 Quogue Street. Smještena na otprilike 1,6 acresa savršeno uređenog zemljišta, ova kuća od 5,600+/– četvornih stopa s tri kata okružena je zrelim zasadima i visokim živicama od ligustruma, nudeći neusporedivu privatnost. Dobro smješten bazen od betonskog pištolja dodatno poboljšava mirnu ambijentalnu okolinu. Zavijena kamena staza vodi do prostrane prednje terase i impozantnog ulaza, gdje 10-stopne stropove postavljaju ton za unutrašnju prostranost i eleganciju. Soba ispunjena suncem i formalna blagovaonica, obje s kaminima, stvaraju idealne prostore za zabavu. Odvojena knjižnica nudi mirnu oazu, dok se svijetla kuhinja otvara u šarmantnu sunčanu terasu s pogledom na mirne vrtove, tiho mjesto za uživanje u jutarnjoj kavi. Središnja klima uređaji opskrbljuju glavni kat, dok bešumni uređaji pružaju udobnost na gornjim katovima. Impresivno stubište, okvirno sa 8-stopnim vitražnim prozorima s dijamantnim motivima, vodi do drugog kata, koji ima središnje odmorište s kaminom i tri prostrane spavaće sobe, od kojih su dvije s kupaonicama i garderobama. Treći kat nastavlja temu karaktera i šarma s visokim stropovima u obliku bačve, udobnim odmorištem s ugrađenim klupama za sjedenje, tri dodatne spavaće sobe i dvije kupaonice. Ispod, cijeli podrum otkriva izvorno kamen-temelj kuće, svjedočeći o njenoj trajnoj izradi. Ovo je rijetka prilika za posjedovanje bezvremenske nekretnine koja se nudi jednom u generaciji.

This majestic home originally built in 1881 stands as one of the earliest and most distinguished summer "cottages" in Quogue. Designed by renowned architect Isaac Green, whose opulent mansions graced Long Island's South Shore during the Gilded Age, this grand residence which was named "Bella Mar" is rich in both architectural pedigree and cultural history. Among its notable former owners is Tony Award winning director and playwright Arthur Laurents (West Side Story), who, in the 1950's divided the original structure into two residences, the second now next door at 109 Quogue Street. Set on approximately 1.6 acres of impeccably landscaped grounds, this 5,600+/- square foot three-story home is surrounded by mature plantings and tall privet hedges, offering unmatched privacy. A well-situated gunite pool further enhances the serene estate-like setting. A winding stone drive leads to the expansive front porch and impressive foyer, where 10-foot ceilings set the tone for the interior's scale and elegance. The sun-filled living room and formal dining room, both with fireplaces, create ideal spaces for entertaining. A separate library offers a quiet retreat, while the bright kitchen opens into a charming sun-porch overlooking the peaceful gardens, a tranquil spot to enjoy morning coffee. Central air conditioning serves the main floor, while ductless units provide comfort on the upper levels. A striking staircase, framed by 8-foot stained glass windows with diamond motifs, ascends to the second floor, which features a central landing with fireplace and three generous bedrooms, two of which are en-suite with fireplaces and walk-in closets. The third floor continues the theme of character and charm with tall barrel ceilings, a cozy landing with built-in bench seating, three additional bedrooms, and two baths. Below, the full basement reveals the home's original stone foundation, a testament to its enduring craftsmanship. This is a rare opportunity to own a timeless estate available once in a generation. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
