Nassau County, New York Top 5 Home Sales: $10.4 Million Old Brookville Estate Leads the Week

The Colonial at 55 North Drive in Plandome, Manhasset, sold with village-approved plans for a renovation and an extension already in hand. Built in 1983 on 0.58 acres of flat, landscaped ground, the home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms (three full and two half), 3,432 square feet of living space and a two-car attached garage. A skylight brightens the entry, where a two-tier staircase makes a sweeping start to the home. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, and the family room takes in plenty of sun and looks out over the grounds. A formal dining room, a maid’s suite, a powder room and an eat-in kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances are also on the main level, and the partially finished basement adds a half bath and storage. The backyard has a gunite pool measuring 20 by 40 feet and a hot tub, as well as a brick patio, a cabana and a shed, all set amid landscaping. The Plandome train station is minutes away, and the home is zoned for the Manhasset School District. Membership is available at the Plandome Field and Marine Club, which offers tennis and waterfront activities. The property last sold for $2.9 million in 2023. The home went under contract four days after it was listed and sold at its full asking price of $3.1 million. Rachel King of Serhant LLC was the listing agent, and Ann Hance of Compass Greater NY LLC represented the buyer.
