Iconic Gilded Age Manor on Long Island’s Gold Coast Is Back on the Market for Under $11 Million
Tucked away behind a gate on more than 8 manicured acres in one of Long Island’s most prestigious neighborhoods, the 1916 manor estate has quietly returned to the market, now asking $10.75 million.
The historic residence at 393 Mill River Road, defined by its stunning Old World architecture and great value, has been seen on and off the market in recent years.
Its recent re-listing offers a renewed opportunity to own a rare piece of Gilded Age history that has been thoughtfully updated for modern life. Home is represented by Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers International.
The approximately 13,000-square-foot estate is located in Muttontown, part of the desirable part of Long Island’s North Shore known as the Gold Coast—where wealthy industrialists like JP Morgan as well as The Vanderbilts he once had large estates.
While the building’s original owners are unknown, the size of the nine-bedroom residence, which includes 12 bathrooms, speaks volumes for its early residents.
Designed for both formal entertaining and everyday comfort, the floor plan makes it easy to imagine the grand gatherings that were once held within its walls. From the moment you step inside, the original architectural details evoke a bygone era: intricate moldings, arched doorways, and hand-crafted millwork reflect the craftsmanship of the early 20th century, while modern infrastructure improvements ensure seamless modern functionality.
One of the most impressive areas of the property is the great room, where 16-foot ceilings and a stunning stone fireplace create a sense of scale rarely found in older homes over 100 years old. Designed to accommodate large gatherings, the room feels equally suited to fine dining or quiet evenings by the fire. Nearby, a richly paneled library offers a more intimate living space, complete with a wood-burning fireplace.
The primary suite has its own sitting room, coffee area, and spa-style marble bath with heated floors. Double wardrobes and a large number make it feel like a boutique hotel, while maintaining the warmth and character of the original home.
And throughout the residence, historic charm is carefully balanced with modern comfort. Updated mechanical systems, elevator access, a fully equipped gymnasium, and enhanced security features including a panic room and walk-in vault reflect a comprehensive approach to modernization without compromising the integrity of the buildings. Most garages offer space for at least five cars.
External resources are equally compelling. The grounds include a heated shotgun pool, a Har-Tru tennis court, putting green, and formal English gardens that feature lush, tree-lined grounds.
While this level of luxury is not for every buyer, the estate’s enduring appeal is clear. With its blend of timeless architecture, thoughtful renovations, and desirable acreage in a prime Long Island location, this 1916 manor stands as one of the region’s most valuable residences currently on the market.
