"It's one of the last large and original Oyster Bay shingle houses," Mateyunas says. "Most of these big shingle houses didn't survive and burned down."
The eight-bedroom, 7 1/2-bathroom home has only had three owners. The sellers have owned the home for more than 50 years. It features high ceilings, painted paneling and large windows. The property, just over two acres, property also has a two-bedroom cottage.
