Rijetka prilika! Mediteranski biser s pogledom na Sound s trgom, fontanama i bogatom povijesti. Godine 1912. vila je izgrađena za opernu zvijezdu Frances Alda, po kojoj je dobila ime Alda Road. Svjetlosni, otvoreni raspored arhitekture, visoki stropovi, pristup vani i obilje ormara za glavnu spavaću sobu, uz prekrasan pogled, ono su što i danas cijenimo. Nevjerojatno je da su mnogi od izvornih detalja još uvijek netaknuti i restaurirani. Opsežna restauracija iz 2008. godine poštovala je izvorni dizajn, ali je uključila sustave najnovije tehnologije i materijale najviše kvalitete kako bi dom izdržao kroz sljedeće stoljeće. Privatna rekreacija uz vodu udaljena je samo nekoliko koraka, a prava koja su stečena na bazenima plaže Shore Acres s dežurnim spasiteljima, pješčanoj plaži, pristaništu za plovila, vezovima za jedrilice, kajake i paddleboarde, kao i društvenoj kući prenose se prodajom. Vlak za New York udaljen je samo 1,1 milja, nudeći 37-minutnu ekspresnu uslugu do Grand Central Stationa. Uživajte u ovoj vili koja je dizajnirana i smještena za bezvremensko zabavljanje i ispunjene živote. SAMO PRIVATNE PREZENTACIJE.

Restauracija je uključivala: 1) potpuno nove prilagođene paladijske vrata i prozore, kupaonice (6), vodovod, elektriku, izolaciju, HVAC i generator na prirodni plin za cijelu kuću; 2) majstorsku restauraciju žbukanih zidova, crijepa, fontana i stropa sa zlatnim listom; 3) promišljene detalje poput obrade mramornih podova i prilagodbe izlaznog podruma s akustičnim panelima, i 4) obnavljanje zapuštenog krajobraza.

Arhitektonski obilazak
Otvoreni tlocrt fokusira se na grandiozni salon okrunjen zapanjujućim stropom od zlatnog lista i s podovima od obrađenog bijelog mramora s dominantnim kaminom na drva. Impresivno stubište s baršunastim rukohvatom i brončanim detaljima dočekuje vas u predvorju, postavljajući ton za majstorsku izradu koja se može pronaći diljem kuće. Salon je sa jedne strane okružen luksuzno urešenom formalnom blagovaonicom s kaminom i mramornim podovima, a s druge strane spektakularnom zimskom vrtom s fontanom, obavijenom staklenim stijenama od poda do stropa na tri strane. Iza toga, prođite kroz stupove u prostranu knjižnicu/obiteljsku sobu s kaminom i pristupom dvorištu. Elegantna toaletna soba i kuhinja s blagovaonicom završavaju glavni kat.

Rare find! Mediterranean gem overlooking the Sound with piazza, fountains and a storied past. In 1912, the villa was built for Opera starlett Frances Alda, the namesake of Alda Road. The architecture's light, open layout, high ceilings, outdoor access and plentiful closets for the primary, along with the views are what we still covet today. Remarkably, many of the original details are still intact and restored. A comprehensive 2008 restoration honored the original design, yet incorporated state of the art systems and the highest quality materials to carry the home thru the next century. Private waterfront recreation is just steps away and the deeded rights to Shore Acres’s lifeguard monitored pools/sandy beach/swim dock, sailboat moorings, boat docks, kayak and paddleboard docks, and clubhouse transfer with the sale. The train to New York is just 1.1 miles away offering 37 minute express service to Grand Central Station. Enjoy this villa which was designed and located for timeless fun and full lives. PRIVATE SHOWINGS ONLY.

The restoration included: 1) all-new custom palladian doors and windows, baths (6), plumbing, electrical, insulation, HVAC, and whole house natural gas generator; 2) artisan restoration of stucco walls, tile roof, fountains, and gold-leafed ceiling; 3) thoughtful touches such as honing of the marble floors and refitting the walk-out basement with acoustic panels, and 4) renewing the overgrown landscaping.
