This is truly a one of a kind, custom home in Hempstead. Lovingly crafted by hand, it sits on over 3 acres of land. Every detail has been purposefully selected for a unique country living experience. Originally constructed in 1987, it has been renovated inside and out. Two artists, decades apart, have made this their home, and their visions have combined to create this masterpiece.
This is the view from your front porch landing. Undoubtedly, this will become one of your favorite places. With a coffee cup in hand, you can welcome the morning, listen to the many different bird calls, and look out toward the automatic front gate.
Every detail of this home is welcoming. New paint inside and out, with colors selected to create a particular aesthetic, every choice reflects a careful design. New roof in 2020. In this view, you can also see the 8 foot wire fence that surrounds much of the property.
The new automatic iron gate welcomes visitors and protects privacy while maintaining the aesthetic. Mature trees and lush plants flank the drive.
Outside the gated area, on the right side of the house, you will find 6 raised garden beds. Each bed has its own watering system, and wire fencing protects the plants. Farther to the right, 3 compost bins have been planned and spaced out, making this garden system eco friendly and self-sustaining.
Here you will note the lights on the stair rises, not only for safety but also as a design element. A graceful tree shades the stairs, while the ground level is decorated with white gravel and potted plants.
Upon entering the home, you stand in this fully remodeled kitchen. Quartz countertops, glass backsplash, new light fixtures and stunning black and white paint create this clean, modern look. The French doors lead to the front patio.
This kitchen has been completely upgraded: quartz countertops, LG 24.5 CU/FT French door refrigerator, GE front control dishwasher, GE 27" single electric wall oven w/built in microwave, and Whirlpool electric ceramic glass cooktop.
Working in this kitchen will not seem like a chore at all. Deep stainless sink with large spray nozzle faucet and GE front control dishwasher with 3rd rack make dishes a breeze. And this view!
This new LG 24.5 Cu/Ft French Door refrigerator will convey with the sale. Also, how cute is this telephone space?
Note the lighted nook in the corner for your cocktail or coffee bar.
Adjacent to the kitchen, you will find your lovely dining room. Recessed lights as well as a unique pendant light fixture compliment the space. The door on the left leads to a landing then down to a deck.
The is the dining room, staged. Inset lighting and contemporary pendant light await your decor.
Move down a short flight or stairs from the kitchen and you will find one of two full bathrooms. New flooring throughout the house, including this fun ceramic bathroom tile.
Here we have the first of two bathrooms in the house. Exquisite tile design turns this space into a statement of luxury.
The glass tile of the shower combined with the three inset stained-glass windows enlightens this space. River rock flooring keeps you safe and the rain shower head with detachable wand is quite useful.
The door to the ground floor bedroom is also a work of art. Leaded glass panels provide decor and are translucent for privacy.
The first of 3 bedrooms looks out over a deck with a view of the koi pond and Japanese bridge. Large windows let in the light. This stylish barn door is for the closet.
This is the same room, staged. All of the beautiful, new fixtures throughout come with the house.
A tranquil pond with a fountain and handmade Japanese bridge will quickly become one of your favorite spaces. This is the perfect place for morning meditations, a quiet place to listen to the soothing sounds of nature.
The inset tile motif continues thoroughout the house.
Just up the steps, you will find one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. Architecturally, the design of this space is breathtaking. The angles and light come together to create a stunning display.
Step through the living room patio doors and you will find this charming patio. One of the most clever design elements of this house is that you can follow the sunlight throughout the day and have a beautiful place to sit and relax. From this vantage point, you can see the front of the property or look out over the koi pond with its handmade Japanese bridge.
This lovely living room is always filled with light. With huge sliders on two sides, you can enjoy the outdoor decks year round.
On the other side of the living room , there is storage built into the wall. Again, note the decorative inset tile motif that continues.
Up the stairs from the living room, you will see the second bathroom, you will see a beaded curtain, which protects privacy while adding design.
Built in open shelving to the right and a bespoke vanity crafted just for this space. Contrasting black and white paint accentuates the architectural angles, and light plays off of the glass tile backsplash.
This custom vanity is the perfect art piece for this bespoke bathroom.
This is the view from your lovely bath. Open, yet private, protected by lush foliage and set back from the road.
Inset shelves keep your fluffy towels close by as you soak your cares away in your claw foot tub.
The golden bathtub, the chandelier, the black fixtures all blend beautifully in this completely unique space. This is truly one of a kind, and you can experience it every day.
This is the stunning view from the second bedroom. The custom-made banquette is perfect for reading or looking out into the back yard. More built-in storage to the right. (staged)
The same bedroom without furniture. The beaded custain covered the walk in closset.
Going all the way down the steps to the first floor, just past the first bedroom, we find the laundry. Lots of shelves keep laundry and cleaning supplies handy and organized.
Staged laundry area. Convenient shelves above the washer and dryer hold all your supplies. Inset lights brighten the space.
This secret door opens to an area that can function as a safe space/panic room, storage for a built in safe or anything that you don't want out in the open.
The third bedroom is on the ground floor and is currently being used as a suite for the dogs. Black and white tile floors throughout this level make for easy clean up when coming in from the outside. Doggie doors are installed on the first and second levels of the house.
You will fall in love with this charming gazebo with handmade table and chairs. Located between the house and the outdoor seating area and connected via a decking walkway, this will soon become one of your favorite spots for entertaining.
Connected to the gazebo by raised decking, is the pergola. A recent addition, this pergola has been designed for additional seating and gathering. Should you prefer, it can be covered with a shade or the addition of beams, but lovely vines have been started to eventually grow up the posts and entwine around the top, creating a canopy of green.
Moving to the right, you will find the fire pit and seating. After a lovely dinner at the picnic table or cocktails on the decks, or in the gazebo, guests can have a seat by the fire and watch the stars come out. In the back corner, there is a gate for access into the wooded section of the property. Only about half of this property has been cleared; beyond the fence, you will find some trails and pathways, but you have a great deal of property to make into whatever you desire.
Your four legged friends will love this custom built platform. They will have hours of fun jumping and playing!
Moving further into the fenced section of the yard, you will notice this specially made picnic table. The table is so large and heavy, it was constructed onsite and will seat a large group of family and friends. The trees have been cleared into a circle, and solar fairy lights create a sense of magic at dusk. Beyond the fence, into the woods, is a frame for a greenhouse.
This custom chicken coop will keep your ladies healthy and happy. Plenty of room to peck and feed on the lower floor. A ladder allows access to the enclosed section for sleeping and laying. Doors open for cleaning and gathering your eggs! The heavy-duty wire on all sides keeps your chickens safe. There's nothing better than fresh eggs!
Let's go outside to the huge detatched garage. The central bay is big enough for all your projects or vehicles.
Two oversized doors open in the back to allow access through the back. The separate front bay is a workshop with cabinets and work benches, as well as the entrance to the garage apartment.
Inside the bunkhouse, a ladder leads to a sleeping loft, and the room contains a sink, toilet, shower and garden tub.
The bunkhouse can be a place for taking a quick nap, cleaning up after working in the garden, or accommodating overnight guests. With water and electric connections established, this could be the first stage of expanding this space into a full guest house. Door leads into the large garage bay.
Now we have come full circle around the property. To the right of the gate, fruit trees have been planted. Soon, they will provide you with a bountiful harvest.
There are so many places to enjoy a sunrise or a sunset with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Every side of this house has a deck or a stunning view. Every day, you will discover something magical.
