Ang ari-arian ng yumaong alamat na art dealer ng New York na si Barbara Gladstone, ang bahay na ito na maingat na naibalik sa estilo ng Gilded Age ay nag-aalok ng pambihirang pagkakataon na magkaroon ng isa sa kakaunting natitirang malalaking estate ng North Fork para sa tag-init na nasa hangganan ng siglo. Nakatakbo sa 140 talampakang dalampasigan na may pribadong buhangin, ang pangunahing tirahan ay umaabot sa higit sa 10,000 sq. ft. at seamless na pinagsasama ang arkitekturang mula sa nakaraan at modernong luho. Bawat elemento, mula sa mga doorknob hanggang sa custom na hardware, ay maingat na inisip, na nagreresulta sa isang mainit, klasikong bahay na nailalarawan ng pagkakapanday at karangyaan.

Angkop na angkop para sa malalaking pagtitipon at maliliit na salu-salo, ang maluluwang na living space ay nagtatampok ng mataas na kisame, maraming fireplace, at maingat na dinisenyong mga sandali sa buong bahay. Ang mga highlight sa unang palapag ay kinabibilangan ng isang malaking living room sa tabi ng tubig at dining room na may kaakit-akit na fireplace alcoves, isang lawak ng kusina ng chef na may silid-kainan at magandang pantry ng butler, isang nakatalagang silid para sa pagputol ng bulaklak na may custom na lababo na marmol, at isang napakalaking nakascreen na panlabas na porch na may outdoor dining room at kusina.
Ang pangalawang palapag ay naglalaman ng malaking pangunahing suite na may ensuite bath, malalawak na walk-in closet, isang dressing room, at isang maginhawang sitting room na may oversized na fireplace. Ang natitira sa pangalawa at ikatlong palapag ay kinabibilangan ng limang karagdagang silid-tulugan sa tabi ng tubig, isang aklatan, isang opisina, maraming wet bars, isang laundry room, at limang banyo na may steam showers at soaking tubs.

Sa labas, ang mga luntiang, propesyonal na idinisenyo na perennial gardens at hedge na lawns ay pumapalibot sa ari-arian. Isang magandang, pribadong gunite pool ang nakatayo sa tabi ng tubig, na nag-aalok ng isang tahimik na oasis na nakatingin sa bay. Kaunting hakbang mula rito, isang malawak na lawn na may panoramic na tanawin ng tubig ang nagdadala sa isang buhangin na landas na pinalilibutan ng mga damong-dagat at wildflowers, na ginagabayan ka patungo sa pribadong dalampasigan na may buhangin. Isang kaakit-akit na carriage house ang nagdadala ng karagdagang kakayahan, na nagtatampok ng isang great room, home theater, at gym. Ang ari-arian ay mayroon ding isang makasaysayang icehouse, na pinananatili ang mayamang pamana nito. Kahit na nakaupo sa tabi ng bay, nagho-host ng mga holiday, o nasisiyahan sa mga gabi ng pelikula sa theater, ang pambihirang ari-arian na ito ay nangangako ng isang pamumuhay ng masinsinang karangyaan at katahimikan.
