Article Title: Charming North Fork Getaway Once Owned by Legendary Art Dealer Hits the Market
In the picturesque town of Cutchogue, Long Island, a historic shingle-style estate known as the North Fork getaway has recently been listed for sale. This 10,000-square-foot residence, located at 12120 New Suffolk Avenue, was once the summer retreat of the late Barbara Gladstone, a renowned New York art dealer.
The estate, meticulously restored to blend historic architectural details with modern luxury, offers a rare opportunity to own one of the few large turn-of-the-century North Fork summer estates. It boasts 140 feet of pristine bayfront, featuring a private sandy beach, making it a standout getaway property with deep cultural ties to the art world.
Expansive living spaces with soaring ceilings and multiple fireplaces make the North Fork getaway ideal for entertaining. A large waterside living room and dining room, both with fireplace alcoves, add to the estate's charm. The kitchen, a chef's dream, features a window-lined breakfast area, a handsome butler’s pantry, and a flower-cutting room with a custom marble sink.
The outdoor amenities are equally impressive. An enormous screened-in porch with an outdoor kitchen and dining area overlooks the bay, providing a perfect setting for summer evenings. The estate also includes a gunite swimming pool, unfussy but beautifully maintained perennial gardens, and hedged lawns.
The primary suite on the second floor offers an ensuite bath, extensive walk-in closets, a dressing room, and a sitting room with an oversized fireplace. Five additional waterside bedrooms, a library, office, multiple wet bars, laundry room, and five baths featuring steam showers and soaking tubs complete the living quarters.
Outdoor amenities include a porch, patio, deck, and pool. Parking is taken care of with a garage. The North Fork getaway is listed without a homeowners association (HOA), offering a sense of freedom and independence.
The property, listed through Compass Greater NY LLC, is asking $12 million with Bridget Elkin of Compass. Records indicate that Barbara Gladstone owned another nearby home, referred to as "the Guesthouse," which was sold earlier this year for $1.94 million.
Abby Montanez, a staff writer at the website, has covered the listing. Montanez, who has worked in both print and digital publishing for over half a decade, notes that the Vail estate, priced at $27,000,000 USD, and the Indigo at Vie L'Ven, an oceanfront residence in Indigo Bay, Sint Maarten, priced at $2,724,800 USD, are two other notable properties currently on the market.
The North Fork getaway is one of the few remaining turn-of-the-19th-century summer "cottages" on the East End of Long Island to remain relatively unadulterated. Its rich history is evident in the historic icehouse, a quiet reminder of its past. This charming getaway, with its exquisite restoration, luxury features, and prime waterfront location, is sure to captivate any potential buyer.
Finance: With a price tag of $12 million, the North Fork getaway offers a lucrative investment opportunity for those with a keen interest in real-estate.
Lifestyle: Nestled amidst home-and-garden perfection, the North Fork getaway promises a lifestyle of luxury, culture, and serenity for its future owners.
