Introducing a grand estate with a rich history and complete renovation makes it unparalleled. Constructed in 1938 to the highest standards by the renowned firm that built NY’s exquisite Cathedral of St. John the Divine, this magnificent home with a striking stone façade, pristine gardens and one-of-a-kind details is a masterpiece, set on 3+ acres with an incredible 297’ directly on Island Lake! It was originally built by C.E. Wilson, U.S. Secretary of Defense under President Dwight Eisenhower and President/CEO of GM. The current owner spared no expense to preserve and fully renovate the 10,000+sf Traditional French Chateau-style mansion to perfection. Meticulously redesigned by Timothy Corrigan, one of the world’s leading interior design firms, the lakefront oasis provides beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy scenic views and seasonal colors, with generous tiered bluestone patios for entertaining overlooking the water. Approaching the home, a circular drive wraps to an oversized 5-car garage. A new driveway cut from Long Lake, lined by canopy trees, is underway to create a private owner’s entrance. Featuring 7 bedrooms, 9.2 baths, a nanny suite, 2 libraries and a refinished basement with full kitchen, media room and gym, spectacular interiors are adorned with 18th and 19th century pieces and antiques from France and London. Custom Mathieu chandeliers, a custom hand-painted Gracie mural in the foyer, hand-painted custom Iksel wallpaper, 7 custom fireplaces, Scalamandre drapery and all new flooring are among the exceptional elements. Past the dramatic 2-story foyer with dual staircases awaits a vaulted great room, regal living and dining rooms and a family room off the breakfast area. A new chef’s dream kitchen features marble and quartz countertops, a La Cornue stove and other appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero. The primary suite offers a new custom closet, custom bed by the dressing room with encased doors, Chanel fabric couches and a spa-inspired bath. Plus, a new HVAC and boiler, new humidifiers, new security, the list goes on.
