Set on three acres of mature plantings overlooking Mill Neck Creek, this 1933 farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated and impeccably maintained, pairing its original character with the comforts of modern living. Clad in distinctive Adirondack wood siding, the six-bedroom residence enjoys sweeping water views from every room along the creek-facing side of the house. The principal rooms are gracious and well proportioned. A formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an elegant formal dining room are complemented by a den, with soaring ceilings and its own wood-burning fireplace, that opens to the kitchen. The family room, with a fireplace and a built-in bar, suits both quiet evenings and entertaining. A home office with custom built-ins and generous storage accommodates two workspaces, and a laundry room and mudroom sit conveniently off the garage. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath and dressing room. A separate bedroom wing contains four additional bedrooms and two full baths, and on the other side of the house is a newly created private guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The renovated lower level provides flexible space for a media room, recreation area, or playroom. French doors lead from the living room and kitchen to a bluestone patio overlooking landscaped gardens and the creek beyond. A private dock offers direct access to the water for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, and a new pool house with a full bath completes the setting for summer entertaining. Modern systems include Lutron lighting, Sonos sound, landscape lighting, a whole-house generator, and whole-house water filtration. A rare combination of privacy, landscaped grounds, direct water access, and enduring architectural character; this is a distinctive North Shore property in an exceptional Mill Neck setting.
