563 Asharoken Avenue, Northport, NY 11768

The Crest is one of the original and iconic Asharoken estates built at the turn of the last century, thoughtfully set on 5 exquisitely maintained acres of rolling lawn, specimen trees and perennial gardens with water views of Duck Island Harbor and Long Island Sound. This classic 8-bedroom, 6.55-bath manse exudes grace and warmth from its stone-gated entry and long drive to the expansive front porch. Sun-filled interiors feature rich ash floors, high ceilings, generous moldings, five fireplaces and timeless millwork; principal rooms, including the grand dining room, formal living room, and screened side porch, are perfectly scaled with outstanding views. Bedrooms on the second and third floors include a primary suite and 2 guest suites, comfortably arranged in wings for privacy. Superior grounds, well-kept systems, a detached 3-car garage, two Sound-side beach parcels with parking slips and deeded rights to Eatons Harbor Corporation (Approx. $470/year) complete this genteel and supremely peaceful property.
