15 Banbury Ln

Approached via a bucolic, tree-lined private lane—perhaps one of the most picturesque in the Village of Lloyd Harbor, and ending on the shores of Cold Spring Harbor—this exceptional estate is a true standout. At the heart of the property is a stately 6,000+ sq. ft. Tudor mansion - classic in its architecture yet outfitted with today’s luxe fixtures & amenities. The home beckons to a bygone era, as it was originally constructed over a century ago, at the onset of the Roaring 20s—a time when summer estates dotted Long Island's north shore. Driving through the gated entry, you arrive at a pavered motor court, framed by expertly designed landscaping. An extensive renovation between 2014 and 2020, partially by renowned firm Kean Development, yielded a beautiful product. Entry via a traditional vestibule provides access to a gracious foyer and focal point staircase, indicative of the period of construction. The kitchen features a suite of Miele, Wolf, & Liebherr professional-grade appliances, and a bonus - a full-service "butler's pantry," inclusive of a second full fridge & full-sized wine fridge, a second dishwasher & sink, and extensive cabinetry. A sunroom with walls of windows overlooking the pool & patio, a banquet-sized formal dining room & 650 sq ft formal living room, multiple options for an in-home library/study, 2 back staircases, and 3 fireplace are all hallmarks of an era of elegance. Wainscoting, dentil crown moldings, coffered & beamed ceilings, and herringbone & inlaid hardwood floors are consistent throughout, as are abundant windows & multiple sets of French doors - all of which bring the natural beauty of the surrounding property to the interior and maintain a fantastically airy feeling. The primary suite wing spans an impressive 1,000 square feet, inclusive of generous vaulted sleeping quarters, 4 outfitted walk-in closets, and a contemporary bathroom with luxe Euro-style fixtures & dual shower. An additional 600 sq. ft. bonus room can play host to any number of options—game room, theatre room, home gym, or guest space, with its separate exterior entrance. Four additional bedrooms, fully revamped bathrooms, fully outfitted walk-in closets, and a large, full-service laundry room round out the second level. The two separate basements and a three car garage all offer expanded living and workspace. Enveloped in three acres of lush, curated grounds, the estate offers near-total privacy, enhanced by specimen plantings, landscape lighting, and intricate masonry work. Envision summer fun in the heated saltwater gunite pool or a match on the revamped tennis court (which doubles as a full-court basketball court). A separate pool house offers a full kitchenette, full bathroom, and lounge. Multiple patio areas, both covered and uncovered and totaling to thousands of square feet, an outdoor kitchen, and a gas fire pit are all present. Additional noteworthy features include a Generac generator, a full-house water filtration system, major upgrades to HVAC systems, an updated roof, and updated, quality Andersen windows. The Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor, with its minimum 2-acre zoning, miles of shoreline fronting various harbors and the LI Sound, & private police force, is a North Shore sanctuary. Residents are afforded exclusive access to a village beach & park, docking, and mooring rights, along with close proximity (5-minute drive from Banbury) to Lloyd Neck's Caumsett Park & Target Rock Preserve, offering biking, equestrian trails, fishing, birdwatching, hiking, and winter activities. In contrast, the vibrancy of Huntington Village, locally coined Long Island's "Little Apple," is just a 6-minute drive, with dozens of options for some of the best dining on Long Island, many shopping options from big-box grocery stores to boutiques, premier entertainment & nightlife, & cultural/historical attractions. Lloyd Harbor students attend the famed Cold Spring Harbor school district.
