Mattituck Estate
Luxurious, all new ‘Farmhouse Modern’, 4800 sq ft home, located on secluded 5 acres of lawns, meadows and woodland, in the heart of North Fork wine and farm country.
The property has been completely renovated ‘down to the studs’, including all new bathrooms and kitchen. The Interior and furnishings were inspired by the latest in modern design as well as 18th and 19th Century classics. Many of the pieces now furnishing this house, once belonged to the Shorecrest Bed and Breakfast, a 19th century manor house that until recently operated as a BnB in Southold. The result is an eclectic look, a mixing of old and new, making a stay here, a remarkable experience, as was a stay at the Shorecrest. Not your average rental.
