Read the full listing description
This architectural masterpiece of the Shippan shoreline was constructed in 2003 on one acre of the former Faye Dunaway estate, reimagining the old world charm of its Mediterranean antecedent yet designed to the highest standards for today's luxury lifestyle. With commanding views up and down Long Island Sound and gracious lawn that stretches to the sea, the main residence features three floors of understated elegance that are FEMA-compliant. (The compound includes two out-buildings: a two-bedroom caretaker cottage with historic greenhouse and a three-bay carriage house.) An entry portico facing west is balanced by an open-air portico on the east overlooking the water, with layers of balconies extending from the upper floors, rising to a corbeled overhanging roof line and signature red tile roof. With maintenance considerations uppermost in mind, cast limestone detailing enhances the stucco exterior, from the lintels and sills that define the custom mahogany windows, to the porticos and terraces with balustrades. Custom steel grill work further elaborates the exterior. Come inside and be dazzled by a three-story foyer w grand staircases. It introduces a circular flow around the first floor with its ten-foot ceilings and exquisitely appointed rooms. The 2nd floor features a stunning ocean-side master suite with Carrara marble bath; its adjoining sitting room with fireplace takes pride of place in the center of the residence with a large balcony over the east portico...
