Waterfront Sands Point home sells for $8.25M in one of largest Nassau deals so far this year

A custom-built mansion on Long Island Sound sold for $8.25 million earlier this month in one of the most expensive sales so far this year on Nassau's Gold Coast. The price reflected the Sands Point house's rare deepwater dock and western-facing views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as its move-in condition, said Maggie Keats, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman, who listed the home. "It's hard to replicate that," she said. The property also offered several features that would not be permitted if a homeowner were to build today under village code, including two driveways and a wider than allowed structure, Keats said. Keats declined to identify the seller, who was the only owner of the house since it was rebuilt in 2004. The house, in the Port Washington school district, has property taxes of about $77,000 a year. The deal was the sixth to close at more than $8 million on Nassau's North Shore so far this year. It follows a flurry of high-priced sales, including the record-breaking $28.75 million sale of Billy Joel's Centre Island estate. Last year, only two Gold Coast deals eclipsed the $8 million mark, Newsday previously reported. Those homes were in Lattingtown and Plandome Manor. In addition to the dock, the backyard includes a saltwater pool, a pool house and an outdoor kitchen equipped with two grills. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom house offers views of the Sound and the skyline from multiple rooms on the main level as well as from the primary bedroom and bathroom through custom mahogany windows. There's also a wine room with a 3,000-bottle, climate-controlled storage system.
