$4.9M Private Island in New York Is the ‘Ultimate Staycation

A mediterranian-style waterfront estatein an exclusive community in New Rochelle, NY, is now on the market for $4.9 million.

“Finding a house in Premium Point is nearly impossible,” says the listing agent, Margaret Grasso of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who says she and her family recently scooped up a home there earlier this year.

It’s a coveted area with very little turnover in ownership, she tells us: “People live there for 30 or 40 years.”

Built in 1917, this six-bedroom, 7,796-square-foot home features an outdoor pool, indoor gym, and two-car garage. It also boasts gorgeous views of Long Island Sound and Premium Mill Pond.

The 31 homes within the Premium Point community sit behind gates, but this property is even more private. It is located on what can be best described as a private island in the community, surrounded by water on three sides.

The property has had no more than six owners over the past century, says Grasso, and the current sellers have held onto it for 35 years.

Updates they have added include a two-story addition folding in a family room, a wine room, a bedroom and full bathroom, plus a terrace with a built-in fireplace overlooking the pond. Perfect for housing overnight guests, a poolhouse features a bedroom, shower, kitchenette, and changing room.

The kitchen is equipped with such luxury amenities as Christopher Peacock cabinetry, two Sub-Zero fridges, two Wolf ranges, and a Bosch dishwasher.
