About this home

A rare modernist residence designed by noted architect George Nemeny, with interiors by pioneering architect Debora Reiser. Featured in House & Garden shortly after construction, this spectacular, lovingly maintained modern work of art is situated on five private estate acres in the heart of Matinecock, less than 1.5 miles from downtown Locust Valley. The home was harmoniously designed around the historic formal gardens of the former J.D. Lyons estate, originally planned by the renowned firm Delano & Aldrich. The owner, a botanist, further enhanced the grounds with arboretum-quality specimen plantings, creating a truly magical, one-of-a-kind landscape. A striking outdoor sculpture is positioned at the edge of a sweeping grassland meadow garden framed by tranquil walking paths. Further enriching the property's provenance is the historic "Piping Rock," a geological landmark tied to local Matinecock Native American lore. Fully intact, the interiors showcase soaring 19-foot ceilings and expansive walls of glass overlooking the grounds. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors in every room flood the space with natural light, treating the seasonal changes outdoors as living art. The main living spaces are conveniently configured on a single level, complemented by a cozy library perched above the dining room and accessed via an elegant spiral staircase. This property represents a unique opportunity to acquire an architecturally significant, undisturbed modernist home and arboretum-like garden, cherished and preserved by its original owners.

Welcome to this exceptional 2.29-acre park-like estate, located at the end of a private cul-de-sac in the Jericho School District. This extraordinary contemporary residence offers a unique blend of architectural brilliance and resort-style living, designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday life. As you arrive, a circular driveway paved with cobblestone, flame granite, and Belgium block leads to the impressive granite façade of this sensational home. Expertly crafted with technical precision and architectural artistry, the home features an open, multi-level layout where each room is oriented to maximize views and natural light. The main level is graced by stunning 1860s 2.5-inch marble flooring, offering panoramic perspectives of the home's dramatic design. Walls of glass, bronze entryways, and soaring ceilings create a seamless connection between the indoors and the outdoors. The breathtaking family room serves as the heart of the home, complete with a sensational marble fireplace, a dedicated dance floor, and direct vistas of the indoor pool area. A splendid floating staircase serves as a sculptural centerpiece, providing access to all levels with elegance and ease. The home boasts a majestic Master Suite, additional well-appointed bedrooms, and a grand Guest Suite. The 4.5 bathrooms are exquisitely finished with imported Italian marble and high-end fixtures. The architectural masterpiece includes a spectacular floor-to-ceiling vaulted solarium that wraps around the indoor heated pool, which is surrounded by beautiful Crab Orchard stone. While this area offers exceptional potential for year-round enjoyment, the indoor pool and its enclosure present a significant opportunity for the new owner to modernize and customize the space to their personal taste. The expansive lower level offers a wealth of amenities, including a wine cellar, sauna, exercise room, Maid’s Quarters, and a private study. The 2.29 acres of lush, park-like grounds offer endless possibilities. Once a vineyard, this expansive property can be revived by a wine connoisseur or utilized for recreational purposes, such as the addition of a tennis court. A true masterpiece inside and out, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a contemporary sanctuary designed for entertaining in one of Long Island’s most desirable locations.
