Living in Idle Hour in Oakdale is very special – I know – I live there. The community is rich with the history of the Vanderbilt Estate which encompassed all of the area south of Montauk Highway and was bordered by the Connetquot River. If you turn off of Montauk Highway onto Idle Hour Boulevard and follow the road as it winds its way past Dowling College and the lovely historic houses scattered among the lovely modern ones you will arrive at the Tower Mews. At the ancient clock tower, continue through the two brick arches, pass the Artist Colony homes and the Hog Wallow, now a lovely fish pond, and continue on Tower Mews as it twists and turns. Turn left on Canal Road and you arrive at Marlboro Lagoon. You have arrived at a truly lovely place to live, play, entertain and enjoy boating.
Fortunately, you can make this beautiful area of Idle Hour your home! The house at 20 Canal Road is for sale. Every room offers water views of Marlboro Lagoon, The Grand Canal, adjoining canals or even the Connetquot River. Custom built by the present owners, this house was designed for this particular corner of paradise. A wall of windows faces the lovely lagoon. A deck adjoining the family room area of the open floor plan is the perfect place to relax near the majestic Weeping Willow tree and just feet away from the 60 foot dock where the boat is tied awaiting your next cruise or fishing trip minutes away on the Great South Bayl
With a private office with outside entrance, a dance studio/exercise room, an in ground pool surrounding with a deck for relaxing or entertaining and a two room cabana with a full bath room – you will find a lot of activity here – if you choose. Or on the second floor, there are two extra large family bedrooms with exceptionally large closets, a new marble bath and a master suite set off to by its self. The Master Bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking the lagoon, cathedral ceilings, a spa bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, skylight, marble bath and double sinks in a marble vanity and a walk in closet which extends in to a storage room.
If you believe the kitchen is the heart of the home, your heart will be thrilled to see this kitchen! Completely redone a year ago, the custom cabinets, semi-circular leaded glass window and stainless steel appliances are wonderful. The most stunning element is the waterfall granite counters and backsplash and granite sink. The counter stools where customer made to match the granite and are included with the house.
Boating in the warm months and a cozy fire in the 16 foot high granite fireplace in step down living room with radiant heated floors on cold days make this a home to enjoy every day of the year.
To see this wonderful opportunity for yourself, call Netter Real Estate at 631 661-5100 and ask for Jeanne O’Neill, Listing Agent and Idle Hour resident.
