Dekouvèt ra! Bijou Mediterane ki gade sou Sound lan ak piazza, sous dlo, ak yon istwa ki gen anpil tèm. Vedèt Opera a pou ki villa a te bati nan 1912 se te Madame Frances Alda, moun ki pote non Alda Road. Etonan, anpil nan detay orijinal yo toujou an plas. Yon restorasyon konplè an 2008 te onore konsepsyon orijinal la, men li te entegre sistèm avanse epi li te anplwaye atizan pou renove detay orijinal yo. Rekreyasyon prive sou rivaj la se jis kèk etap lwen ak dwa yo deklare pou pisin ki gen sèvis siveyans sòlda Shore Acres / plaj sab / dok pou naje, akomodasyon bato, dok pou kayak ak planch paddle, ak transfe klub la ak lavant lan. Tren ki ale New York se jis 1.1 mile lwen ki ofri sèvis eksprès 37 minit pou Grand Central Station. Villa a te fèt ak plase pou plezi ki p ap janm fin pase ak lavi plen.

Restorasyon an te enkli: 1) tout nouvo pòt ak fenèt palladian espesyal, beny (6), plonbri, elektrik, izòlman, HVAC, ak yon jeneratè gaz natirèl pou tout kay la; 2) restorasyon atizan nan miray stuko, do kay tuile, sous dlo, ak plafon an lò; 3) manyen reflechi tankou repolisaj planche anba a an kwatz ak reamenajman basen ki gen aksè, ak 4) renouvle peyizaj ki te grandi twòp.

Rare find! Mediterranean gem overlooking the Sound with piazza, fountains and a storied past. The Opera starlet for whom the 1912 villa was built was Madame Frances Alda, the namesake of Alda Road. Remarkably, many of the original details are still intact. A comprehensive 2008 restoration honored the original design, yet incorporated state of the art systems and employed artisans to restore original details. Private waterfront recreation is just steps away and the deeded rights to Shore Acres’s lifeguard monitored pools/sandy beach/swim dock, sailboat moorings, boat docks, kayak and paddleboard docks, and clubhouse transfer with the sale. The train to New York is just 1.1 miles away offering 37 minute express service to Grand Central Station. The villa was designed and located for timeless fun and full lives.

The restoration included: 1) all-new custom palladian doors and windows, baths (6), plumbing, electrical, insulation, HVAC, and whole house natural gas generator; 2) artisan restoration of stucco walls, tile roof, fountains, and gold-leafed ceiling; 3) thoughtful touches such as honing of the marble floors and refitting the walk-out basement with acoustic panels, and 4) renewing the overgrown landscaping.
