Inside a Waterfront Estate Where Old World Craftsmanship Meets Coastal Grandeur

By Liat Salama

Tucked away at the very end of Crane Neck Road in Old Field, 70 Crane Neck Road isn’t just a home—it’s a private peninsula. With over 10 acres of sprawling waterfront and 300-degree views of the Long Island Sound, this one-of-a-kind estate is a rare North Shore offering that redefines exclusivity.

Architecturally crafted to follow the natural curve of the land, the home mirrors the shoreline it sits beside—fluid, expansive, and breathtaking at every turn. The result: a residence that feels as much a part of the landscape as the beach it overlooks.

And what a beach it is—2,500 feet of private shoreline, plus access to a secluded half-mile stretch and a grandfathered cabana, a nostalgic nod to classic coastal living.

Inside, the scale is grand yet intimate. A double staircase anchors the soaring entry foyer, setting the tone for nearly 20,000 square feet of custom-built living space.

Six bedrooms include four private suites, each with its own sitting room, walk-in closet, and en suite bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Seven full bathrooms, a powder room, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces make the home as functional as it is stunning.

Every detail is a masterclass in craftsmanship: mahogany windows, wrought-iron staircases, hand-laid marble, and granite and hardwood floors that run throughout the home.

The kitchen opens into a dramatic double-height great room, while a formal dining room, library, solarium, and oversized basement with 10-foot ceilings invite moments both grand and grounded.

For those who love to entertain, the outdoor spaces rival the interior. A 46-foot gunite pool, wet bar pergola, bocce court, pond, and manicured grounds offer the perfect backdrop for summer gatherings. A five-car garage with custom cabinetry and a separate-entry apartment round out the amenities.

Topped with a 100-year Ludowici glazed tile roof, this estate is built to last—physically and stylistically. Every material, every line, every view reinforces the home’s central theme: timeless luxury, shaped by the sea.
