4 Horse Hollow Rd

Welcome to this exceptional 1893 architectural masterpiece -- the embodiment of Long Island's renowned Gold Coast. Once part of the historic Weir estate that encompassed multiple acres, this estate, now on just over 2 acres, and tucked away on a secluded hilltop sanctuary, offers the elegance of yesteryear, but with the updated amenities we all need today. Located in one of the North Shore's most charming and coveted neighborhoods, this stunning six-bedroom, six-bathroom residence offers more than 6,300 sq. ft of thoughtfully designed living space with a strong emphasis on privacy, comfort, and outdoor enjoyment. The cedar shake home features a slate roof and fieldstone accents that attest to its architectural heritage. Enter the home through a magnificent wood door enhanced with beautiful leaded windows into a spacious foyer with herringbone oak floors. The main level features a large Living Room with a fireplace and multiple sitting areas, as well as access to a patio beyond. A formal Dining Room, also with a fireplace, as well as a coffered ceiling, anaglypta wainscoting, elegant crown moldings and a hardwood floor sits on the other side of the foyer. The china pantry features wood cabinets that can hold numerous sets of china. The cozy Library will enchant with its floor-to-ceiling wall of bookcases. Beyond the Library one enters the updated and modern kitchen, which has green granite counters, and an abundance of efficient cabinets. Only the most modern appliances will be found here - a Wolf range, a Subzero refrigerator, and a Fisher Paykel dishwasher, for example. Just beyond the kitchen proper, you'll find a climate-controlled wine room, as well as a large space for in - kitchen eating. The main floor also includes a sunroom off the Living Room, a Den with another fireplace off the Kitchen, and a Conservatory beyond that. The upstairs is reserved for sleeping. The Primary bedroom is the ultimate sanctuary, with a fireplace, an elegant marble bath, as well as a hallway of closets and a dressing room. Beyond that, there are five more bedrooms and four more baths, as well as a Craft Room. From the moment you arrive, the outdoor spaces command your attention with an almost theatrical flourish. Sweeping grounds unfold in every direction, offering a verdant tapestry of manicured gardens, and sun-drenched expanses that blur the boundary between curated landscape and natural splendor. This is not merely a yard -- it is a private domain designed for al fresco entertaining. Whether languishing by the heated saltwater pool, or reading a book by the firepit while overlooking the sumptuous grounds, there's a sense of calm and peace. And for those who love whimsey, the elevated tree house with its expansive decks and the charming playhouse offer additional pleasures. Beyond the property's own boundaries the surrounding community adds immeasurable dimension. The home sits across the street from the renowned Creek Club, and Bailey Arboretum is just down the street. The nearby village of Locust Valley offers a multitude of acclaimed restaurants and enchanting shops and the proximity to the LIRR ensures seamless connectivity to Manhattan. The convenience of acclaimed educational institutions situated just moments away, is another plus, reinforcing the neighborhood's reputation for discerning households who refuse to compromise on quality of life. This is Locust Valley at its most compelling -- where the prestige of a historic Gold Coast address converges with the warmth of a true family home.
