Leahead-Gold Coast 水岸豪宅！想象一下发现一个被隐藏了几十年并被世界遗忘的巨大宝藏。这样一个神秘的“伟大女士”伫立在你面前，就像《猫》中格里兹贝拉一样，准备迎接新的生活。然而，与那个破烂的猫不同，这座建于1896年的豪宅状况完好，保持了大部分华丽的特点，包括闪闪发光的硬木地板，定制雕刻的镶板，高耸的吊顶和彩绘天花板，六个精美的壁炉，令人惊叹的铅玻璃窗和门，以及与分隔房间相匹配的巨大的口袋门。这些都是等待着巨大派对的大空间。其供电设备、浴室、厨房等设施都得到了维护和更新。此外，百年装饰并没有太多老化。原本超过五英亩的花园、林地、瀑布池、温泉和草坪延伸至俯瞰长岛湾的岩石悬崖，住宅的环境依然宁静浪漫，占地1.34英亩，涵盖了所有关键元素。住宅拥有七间卧室、七间浴室、一间化妆室和一个经过翻修的厨房，具有高端饰面和电器。

最近发现了庄园的早期历史。1897年，亨利·W·J·巴克纳尔购买了五英亩的格伦湾庄园。巴克纳尔在葡萄牙和西班牙长大，在他的家乡英格兰接受教育，在那里他是足球队长，并学会欣赏历史和艺术。他的家族从事软木业务，种植和销售瓶塞等。他搬到纽约，成功进口软木。他在1894年结婚，购买了他的新庄园并命名为“Leahead”，以纪念他在英格兰的祖宅。他是第一批在格伦湾的“红泉殖民地”新富人区定居的人之一，很快成功的商人们也纷纷加入。他的财产包括一个门房和一间马车房，但随着时间的推移，这些都和大部分财产一样被出售掉。发生了一些事情导致房子失去了整个二楼和塔楼。原因不明。今天的三楼仍然保留着两间宽敞的卧室，共用一个完整的浴室。

剩余的屋顶大部分是平的，并在一楼接待厅上方增设了一个巨大的天窗，这是房子的中心。可以从门厅进入（其入口通向令人惊叹的宴会厅，那里有桶形天花板、巨大的石灰石壁炉和通往露台的法式门）并通向一个巨大的起居室，配有壁炉和大凸窗及通往另一个带水景观露台的门。弯曲的楼梯通向阳台图书馆，并下到管家室。法式门通向一楼的主套房，提供多个衣柜、主浴室和坐卧室，配有令人印象深刻的华丽壁炉和通往露台的法式门。相邻的卧室有浴室和衣柜。一楼的服务翼有一个步入式食品储藏室、洗衣房、管家室，并有台阶下行至带早餐角和通往甲板的用餐厨房。美食厨房提供广泛的橱柜、大理石台面和后挡板、内置不锈钢高端燃气灶、双烤箱、微波炉、洗碗机、零下冰箱、抽油烟机、巨大的双水槽和橱柜下照明。一扇宽门通往橡木镶板宴会厅。两间带浴室的卧室完成了第一层。除此之外，这个令人惊叹的7,594平方英尺的住宅，拥有一巨大的地下室，带有员工宿舍和巨大的存储空间，已经为您准备好，将其变为梦想庄园，从此快乐生活。能源之星住宅——高科技计算机控制中央供暖/冷却系统。查看3D参观和平面图。

Leahead-Gold Coast Waterfront Mansion! Imagine finding a treasure of immense worth that has been hidden for decades and forgotten by the world. Such is this mysterious “grand lady” standing before you, who, like Grizzabella in “Cats”, is ready for a new life. Unlike the ragtag cat, however, this 1896 mansion is in beautiful condition maintaining most of its gorgeous features including gleaming hardwood floors, custom-carved paneling, high, coffered and open-beam ceilings, six exquisite fireplaces, breathtaking leaded-glass windows and doors plus huge pocket doors built to match the rooms they separate. These are immense spaces waiting to entertain huge parties. Its utilities, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. are maintained and updated. Plus, the century-old adornments have not aged much. Originally over five acres of gardens, woodland, pool with waterfall, spa, and lawns extending to a rocky bluff overlooking Long Island Sound, the home’s setting remains serene and romantic with 1.34-acres encompassing all the key elements. The home has seven bedrooms, seven baths, one powder room, and a renovated kitchen with high-end finishes and appliances.
The estate’s early history has recently been discovered. In 1897, Henry W. J. Bucknall, bought the Glen Cove five-acre estate. Bucknall had been raised in Portugal and Spain, schooled in his native England, where he was football captain, and learned to appreciate history and the arts. His family was in the cork business, growing and selling bottle corks, etc. He moved to New York and became very successful importing cork. He married in 1894 and bought his new estate naming it “Leahead” after an ancestral home in England. He was one of the first to settle in a new wealthy neighborhood, “Red Spring Colony,” in Glen Cove where successful businessmen soon followed. His property included a gatehouse and a carriage house, but over the years they were sold off along with much of the property. Something happened that caused the house to lose its entire second floor and turret. The cause is unknown. The third floor remains today with two generous bedrooms that share a full bath.
The remaining roof is mostly flat and has an added huge skylight over the first-floor reception hall, which is the center of the home. It is entered from the foyer (with its entry into the breathtaking banquet hall with barrel ceiling, massive limestone fireplace, and French doors to a patio) and leads into a huge living room with fireplace and large bay window and door opening to another patio with water views. An arched staircase leads to a balcony library and down to the butler’s pantry. French doors open to the first-floor primary suite offering many closets, a primary bath, and sitting room with impressive ornate fireplace and French doors to a patio. An adjoining bedroom has a bath and closets. The service wing of the first floor holds a walk-in pantry, laundry room, Butler’s pantry, and steps down into the eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook and access to a deck. The gourmet kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite counters and backsplash, a built-in stainless-steel high-end gas stovetop, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, sub-zero refrigerator, hood, huge double sink, and under-cabinet lighting. A wide door opens to the oak paneled banquet hall. Two bedrooms with baths complete the first floor. Not counting the huge basement with staff quarters and immense storage space, this amazing 7,594-square-foot-home is ready for you to make into your dream estate and live happily ever after.
