Rich Cribs: Lloyd Harbor mansion for $3.795M
VENETIAN-INSPIRED Historic buildings in Venice were the inspiration for some of the architectural details of this Lloyd Harbor mansion, listed for $3.795 million. Its kitchen, measuring 44 feet by 14 feet, has groin-vault, razor-edge, 20-foot plaster ceilings inspired by the 16th century Villa Foscari. The marble floor is a replica of the one in the 16th century Benedictine church San Giorgio Maggiore, while the faucet over the solid granite farm sink sports a 16th century-style mask made of Giallo Siena marble.
Designed by Venetian architect Roberto Badia, the 7,600-square-foot home originally was a small, ranch-style house, says Daniel Gale listing agent Laura Zambratto. There are six bedrooms, five baths and one half-bath. The formal living room has coffered ceilings with hand-painted gold leaf detailing -- also a feature in the music room and foyer -- and walnut parquet floors. There is a leaded-glass ceiling in the grand foyer. A 46-foot-long breezeway-atrium connects the main house with a two-story guest cottage.
The grounds on the 3.29-acre property were designed by Herman Schulz of Innocenti & Webel, with English Haddonstone fountains, a natural pond, rose garden, koi pond and a vineyard. Other features include a humidity-
controlled wine cellar with stucco barrel ceiling, in-ground heated pool, lighted tennis courts and two heated garages.
