Nakatagong sa pinakapino ng mga dalampasigan ng Port Jefferson Harbor, ang "The Cottage," isang 5,800 square foot English Country Estate na nakapatong sa 3.85 ektarya ng luntiang waterfront na may 530 talampakang pribadong dalampasigan, ay ngayon ay ibinibenta. Itinayo noong 1906 bilang pribadong tirahan ni Ralph Peters, dating Pangulo ng Long Island Rail Road, ang Estate ay napanatili at naibalik bilang isang master class sa walang panahong maagang Amerkano na kahusayan at modernong luho. Pumasok at madadala ka; ito ay hindi lamang isang tahanan, kundi isang buhay na galeriya. Isang marangal na pagdiriwang ng anyo at tungkulin, kung saan ang walang kapintasang millwork at stained glass na mga palamuti ay nag-aanyaya ng isang panahon ng kasanayan. Ang mga bintana na may diamond-pane na naka-frame ng mga kamay na tapos na grills ay bumabalot sa harapan at nag-aanyaya ng natural na liwanag na nagpapakita ng curate na mga panloob na puno ng orihinal na sining at antigong muwebles. Ang puso ng tirahan ay isang nakabibighaning open concept grand room, na nakoronahan ng isang dalawang palapag na atrium at 360-degree mezzanine. Isang napakalaking sentral na fireplace ang nag-uugnay sa open concept space habang ang wrap around enclosed porch ay nag-aalok ng malawak na tanawin mula sa unang palapag ng Harbor, nagbibigay ng isang hindi malilimutang karanasan sa pandama. Isang nakalaan na study sa unang palapag at pormal na dining room, bawat isa ay may sariling fireplace, ay lumilikha ng balanse ng pagiging malapit at kadakilaan. Ang pangunahing suite ay isang oasis na nagtatampok ng resort-style na buong marmol na banyo na may oversized soaking tub. Ang itaas na antas ng bahay, na may kasamang pormal na opisina at may sariling hagdanan, ay nag-aalok ng karagdagang mga silid-tulugan at banyo, na nagdadala ng kabuuan ng bahay sa walong silid-tulugan at apat at kalahating banyo. Ang mas mababang antas ng bahay ay may kasamang changing room na may dual showers, water closet, washer/dryer at direktang access sa labas na perpekto para sa mga araw sa beach. Nakapanday sa cobblestone, ang mahabang pribadong driveway, auto court at buong roundabout ay nagbibigay ng access sa isang multi-level at terraced na ari-arian na may malaking sun deck at pergola na nakausli sa dalampasigan. Isang detached na garahe para sa dalawang sasakyan ang nagbibigay ng karagdagan sa isang ari-arian na dinisenyo at ininhinyero na may imprastruktura at pagpapanatili sa isip. Ang mga retaining walls, terraces, patios, walkways at planters ay itinayo gamit ang pinakamagandang natural na bato, cobblestone, durog na bato, slate at kahoy. Isang parke na parang ari-arian na pinalamutian ng natural, mature na perennials at namumukadkad na mga bush. Isang natatanging landmark ng North Shore sa luho, kung saan nagtatagpo ang kasaysayan at pamana sa abot-tanaw sa mga bangin ng Belle Terre.
