Leahead-黃金海岸濱水豪宅！想像一下發現了一個隱藏數十年且被世人遺忘的巨大寶藏。這位神秘的“大夫人”屹立在你面前，就像《貓》中葛莉茲貝拉一樣，準備迎接新生。然而，這座建於1896年的豪宅並不像破舊的貓，反而保持著大部分華麗的特色，包括閃閃發光的硬木地板、定製雕刻的牆板、高聳的天花板以及六座精美的壁爐、令人驚嘆的鑲嵌玻璃窗和門，再加上巨大的壁式門，與它們所分隔的房間相匹配。這些都是等待舉行大型聚會的廣闊空間。其設施、浴室、廚房等都得到了維護和更新。此外，這座世紀老宅的裝飾幾乎沒有變老。最初的五英畝以上的花園、林地、帶瀑布的泳池、SPA和草坪延伸到俯瞰長島海灣的岩岸上，住宅的環境仍然寧靜而浪漫，占地1.34英畝，涵蓋了所有關鍵元素。房子有七間臥室、七間浴室、一間化妝室以及翻新的廚房，配有高檔裝潢和電器。

這座莊園的早期歷史最近被發現。1897年，亨利·W·J·巴克諾購買了格倫科夫的五英畝莊園。巴克諾在葡萄牙和西班牙長大，在他本土的英國接受教育，是一名足球隊長，並學會欣賞歷史和藝術。他的家族從事瓶塞生意，種植和銷售瓶塞等。他移居紐約，並透過進口瓶塞取得了非常成功。他於1894年結婚，並購買了新的莊園，並以英國的祖傳故居命名為“Leahead”。他是第一批定居在格倫科夫“紅泉殖民地”新興富豪社區的人之一，隨後不久便有成功的商人跟隨。他的房產包括一個門房和馬車房，但隨著時間的推移，它們與大部分房產一起被賣掉。發生了一些事情，導致房屋失去了整個二樓和塔樓。原因不明。如今，三樓依然保留著兩間寬敞的臥室，共用一間全浴。

剩下的屋頂大多是平的，並且在一樓接待大廳上方加了一個巨大的天窗，它是房子的中心。可從門廳進入（從那裡進入令人驚歎的宴會廳，該廳擁有桶型天花板、巨大的石灰石壁爐和通向露台的法式門），並通向帶壁爐和大凸窗和通往另一露台的門的大客廳，可欣賞水景。一個拱形樓梯通向一個陽台圖書館，然後通向管家儲藏室。法式門通向一樓的主套房，提供多個衣櫃、主浴室和帶有精美華麗壁爐的休息室以及通往露台的法式門。相鄰的臥室設有浴室和衣櫃。第一層的服務區設有步入式食品儲藏室、洗衣房、管家儲藏室，並通向帶早餐角和通往平台通道的吃飯廚房。美食廚房提供豐富的櫥櫃、花崗岩檯面和防濺板、內置不銹鋼高檔煤氣灶、雙烤箱、微波爐、洗碗機、負25度冰箱、抽油煙機、巨大的雙水槽和櫥櫃下照明。寬闊的門通向橡木鑲板宴會廳。兩間帶浴室的臥室完成了一樓布局。不計算擁有員工宿舍和大量儲藏空間的巨大地下室，這座754平方英尺的驚人住宅已準備好讓你成為夢想中的莊園並幸福地生活下去。能源之星住宅-先進的計算機控制中央供暖/制冷系統。查看3D導覽和平面圖。

Leahead-Gold Coast Waterfront Mansion! Imagine finding a treasure of immense worth that has been hidden for decades and forgotten by the world. Such is this mysterious “grand lady” standing before you, who, like Grizzabella in “Cats”, is ready for a new life. Unlike the ragtag cat, however, this 1896 mansion is in beautiful condition maintaining most of its gorgeous features including gleaming hardwood floors, custom-carved paneling, high, coffered and open-beam ceilings, six exquisite fireplaces, breathtaking leaded-glass windows and doors plus huge pocket doors built to match the rooms they separate. These are immense spaces waiting to entertain huge parties. Its utilities, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. are maintained and updated. Plus, the century-old adornments have not aged much. Originally over five acres of gardens, woodland, pool with waterfall, spa, and lawns extending to a rocky bluff overlooking Long Island Sound, the home’s setting remains serene and romantic with 1.34-acres encompassing all the key elements. The home has seven bedrooms, seven baths, one powder room, and a renovated kitchen with high-end finishes and appliances.
The estate’s early history has recently been discovered. In 1897, Henry W. J. Bucknall, bought the Glen Cove five-acre estate. Bucknall had been raised in Portugal and Spain, schooled in his native England, where he was football captain, and learned to appreciate history and the arts. His family was in the cork business, growing and selling bottle corks, etc. He moved to New York and became very successful importing cork. He married in 1894 and bought his new estate naming it “Leahead” after an ancestral home in England. He was one of the first to settle in a new wealthy neighborhood, “Red Spring Colony,” in Glen Cove where successful businessmen soon followed. His property included a gatehouse and a carriage house, but over the years they were sold off along with much of the property. Something happened that caused the house to lose its entire second floor and turret. The cause is unknown. The third floor remains today with two generous bedrooms that share a full bath.
The remaining roof is mostly flat and has an added huge skylight over the first-floor reception hall, which is the center of the home. It is entered from the foyer (with its entry into the breathtaking banquet hall with barrel ceiling, massive limestone fireplace, and French doors to a patio) and leads into a huge living room with fireplace and large bay window and door opening to another patio with water views. An arched staircase leads to a balcony library and down to the butler’s pantry. French doors open to the first-floor primary suite offering many closets, a primary bath, and sitting room with impressive ornate fireplace and French doors to a patio. An adjoining bedroom has a bath and closets. The service wing of the first floor holds a walk-in pantry, laundry room, Butler’s pantry, and steps down into the eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook and access to a deck. The gourmet kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite counters and backsplash, a built-in stainless-steel high-end gas stovetop, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, sub-zero refrigerator, hood, huge double sink, and under-cabinet lighting. A wide door opens to the oak paneled banquet hall. Two bedrooms with baths complete the first floor. Not counting the huge basement with staff quarters and immense storage space, this amazing 7,594-square-foot-home is ready for you to make into your dream estate and live happily ever after.
