Nestled on an oversized, flat 1.1-acre parcel in the heart of Glen Cove, this enchanting 1938 4BR, 4.5 Bath brick Colonial offers timeless elegance, rich history, and exceptional modern comfort. Once the cherished home of the parents of Lorna Goodman of the iconic Bergdorf Goodman, this residence is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Gold Coast heritage.
Framed by sweeping lawns and mature plantings, the home’s classic facade is accented by a slate roof with ornate frieze board detailing, stained-glass windows, and exquisite original millwork, reflecting its architectural pedigree. Inside, graciously proportioned living spaces unfold with warmth and sophistication. A welcoming foyer introduces a grand formal living room featuring hardwood floors, arched doorways, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace — the perfect setting for both elegant entertaining and cozy evenings at home.
The sun-drenched, open-concept kitchen and dining area serves as the heart of the home, thoughtfully updated with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, porcelain tile floors, and direct access to the bricked backyard terrace overlooking the expansive, level lawn — an idyllic backdrop for outdoor dining or the addition of a pool. French doors open to a stunning four-season sunroom wrapped in walls of windows, offering tranquil views and abundant natural light, along with a separate office space that provides flexibility for today’s lifestyle. An updated full bath and a convenient laundry room/mudroom connect seamlessly to the two-car garage.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers hardwood floors, an updated en suite bath, and a charming private balcony. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms complete the second level.
Additional features include a partially finished walk-out basement with a half bath and ample storage, a walk-up attic for easy accessibility and expansion potential, central air conditioning, gas heat, sewer, and an alarm system.
Ideally located near the LIRR, beaches, boat moorings, yacht and country clubs, as well as Glen Cove’s vibrant shopping and dining scene, this distinguished Colonial beautifully blends historic character with modern amenities — a true Gold Coast treasure ready for its next chapter.
