- Today Architectural Digest brings you "out east" to visit one of the most magnificent mansions along the Gold Coast of Long Island, New York. 235 Middle Neck Road is in Sands Point, NY, the inspiration behind the posh locale of East Egg in “The Great Gatsby.” With 14 bedrooms, a guest cottage, and nearly 400 feet of private sandy beach across 5.5 acres of land, it’s easy to envision Jay Gatsby hosting a few dozen well-wishers here on a warm summer night.

Inside A $12.9M Waterfront Mansion That Inspired "The Great Gatsby" | On The Market
One of the rare times that the price is justified.
And you are broke
Or at least relatively reasonable.
Indeed
it’s crazy 29 rooms 14 rooms guest bedrooms 5 of them garage and big land that’s a steal if you got 13 mil to splurge onna house
Well said!
Ignoring that I'll never be able to afford this place, what I appreciate so much is that it is clearly a lived in and well looked after space. I feel like so many of the giant mansions featured on this channel are meant more to be show pieces to overtly brag about the owners wealth than to be an actual place of residence. This is a living, breathing, functioning family home, with stylistic choices made to that end. It's much nicer for it.
Alright Gok Wan
Totally agree. It's a nice change for the awful mansions they've been featuring lately, this one is classy and homely. Such a shame that it's so close to the waterfront and without any elevation though. The whole area will most likely be under water in 5-10 years.
I agree. 12.9 million is a lot, but the house doesn't feel pretentious.
It looks like a conjuring house 😂
Come on... if there's on thing we learned from 2020 is that anything is possible. Including you one day being able to afford a place like this!
The owners really did well by this house with all the restorations they completed
I reckon to agree, Old Sport
Elizabeth N I would of added a lighted tennis court.
@@bngr_bngr Grand idea...
Old Sport
They did so well that now are desperately trying to get rid of the property. Blame the pandemic. Perhaps they owned many airline stocks.
It looks like a conjuring house
No comments about the agent/commentator means she’s actually just done her job and hasn’t tried to take the spotlight in the video. Thank you ma’am.
Amie- I really like her. She wasn't ostentatious and pushy...I'd like her to be my real estate agent or to show any of the homes we see featured in this series.
finally, a classy and beautiful home in a beautiful location, that isn’t just a modern box in los angeles
Lara the westside houses are 20 k foot houses built on a 25 k foot lot.
It looks like a conjuring house
I couldn’t agree more! I kept having images of Tom Hank’s “Money Pit” run through my mind as we were taken on this tour. It’s a beautiful property though...
Always love when the house for sale comes with a second house worth 10x as much as my house.
Yup lol
Matt - You mean their "seaside cottage", lol! Must be nice.🏰😊
Not me actually thinking that this is cheap compared to the other houses-
Yup
Lol have you seen James bond 100mil house?
location 😭
Exactly... There's houses in California that are 30 million, 40 million that doesn't look as good as this one does in exterior and all...
A lot better than many 100 million dollar houses I've seen on this channel.
Good job!
Thank you, Old Sport
@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 your welcome Gatsby
Why do I feel like this house should cost much more!?
I was thinking the same thing.
Perhaps, given the issue of climate-change, it could be at greater risk of flooding. That's the issue with several oceanfront mansions in California.
Quite the deal it is- Old Sport!
Eric Gutierrez most mansions in sea side areas in California are built on a bluff.
@Mary Ray location, location, location, Old Sport
For 12.9 million that is worth it
Quite right, Old Sport
Keep in mind it's in a fairly dangeourus place, probably It'll be underwater in a few years.
@@farkasambrus5741 not
Necceessarily in a few years my dear friend, probably in about 60 years.
It looks like a conjuring house
IKRRR
This is amazing, especially compared to that nightmare 20mil San Francisco house from a couple of days ago
totally agree
Thought the same thing! Makes this look like a steal at 12.9m.
I fancy you're right, Old Sport.
I was just thinking the same thing. Seems almost too “cheap” 😆
I also didn't like that house but we have to remember in real estate, it's location, location and location
The fact that she didn’t mention that the seaside cottage is where Nick Caraway lives in The Great Gatsby 😭😭😭 I gasped when I saw it
There is something so charming, calm and subtle about this property. The lady realtors voice is calm and soothing. Loved this house and for the amount of land and beauty this house is very well priced.
Can you imagine, on the spur of the moment you can spend the weekend at your seaside cottage which just happens to be a hop, skip & a jump away! Pretty nice!
This actually feels like a home. Cozy, welcoming and calm. I wanna imagine that the family who lives here is really nice and welcoming to everyone who comes to visit them.
love me watching videos of houses I’ll never be able to afford
nothings impossible
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible
U can ! If u want to achieve then do it ! No matter what ! Ups and downs
I will afford it
It's so rare to see a house on this channel that's actually nice and seems worth the price
I found you 🤡
😂
Any other peasant here looking for Sims 4 house inspiration?
Why no, Old Sport
👀
This is one of the first houses I've seen that actually looks like people live in it
I actually am surprised that this property is not double the current asking price, two amazing homes and a beautiful spot overlooking the water.
One of the prettiest houses this channel ever visited
This is an absolutely, stunning beautiful property, and the price is actually very good. I can see myself living in this home. I love all things Gatsby, so to be able to say I live in East Egg... well, that would be spectacular.
Does anyone else wish these tours showed every piece of living space? I want to see every bedroom and bathroom. This is such a lovely home. Wow.
This actually seems like a steal lol
the property tax rates on Long Island are the secret add-on price
And I'm sure you could bargain down to $12.2 Million, Old Sport!
have a feeling the low pricing is down to the state of the house....it could need renovations, consolidating etc
also it says 14 bedrooms but i think more than half those 14 are the former maids rooms in the mansard roof, aka very small and not easily accessible
also 8 baths to 14 beds isnt ideal ratio these days, not in a mansion ..
Architecturally this is one of the most stunning homes I’ve ever seen, but I am surprised it was filmed and posted on AD decorated as it is now. (See: both sets of wall sconce in primary bedroom, bookshelf in fireplace in play room, cardboard box in library, unfinished cabinets in laundry room, etc.)
Honestly, I don't mind. The furniture from the owners is tasteful and jot at all outlandish. I can see the how each space is utilized effectively but still have space in my mind for how I could put my own spin on it.
I kind of liked seeing a home that wasn't picture perfect. It looked lived in.🙂 Could you explain why you mentioned the sconces...I don't know what's wrong w/them, thx.
agree. the decoration is horrible.
I drive past this house everyday! So cool to have a glimpse of the interior
The guest cottage is a whole house 😭 and the motor lodge is a mansion In of itself
I was barely even 1 minute into this video and I already I wanted it because she said “The Great Gasby” and I love that book and the 1920’s are my favorite period in American history. Heck our history teacher even taught us to swing dance for that time period!
Slavery was pretty rampant inthe 20's, so pretty sus of you 😂😂
Huh. Pleasantly suprised to see this doesn't look insanely overpriced.
this is such a great house, its not like the other houses on this channel, its much more homey and cozy.
Finally a house that has style and looks beautiful aesthetically
This is legit my dream house!!
Edit: Nvm, I wrote that before they showed the "cottage". The f*cking COTTAGE is my dream house (it's just as beautiful, but the ocean view is better and it's smaller, so less to clean lol).
omg this is so so beautiful, this is basically my dream house, i love the style of it. that veranda with the columns outlooking the water is HEAVEN
There is so much to love about this house! You can tell a lot of care went into it and the people who live there actually live in the space.
I read THE GREAT GATSBY in high school. It's a novel based on the Jazz Age shortly before Prohibition. Soon to be exactly a century after such times!🎷
Amazing property. One of my favorite homes I have ever seen on AD UA-cam. If I had the money I would by it on the spot no negotiating, all cash. Ha!
You would be getting fleeced about $3 million as the house is likely worth under $10million to be honest.
Couldn’t afford the property tax even if the owner gives this house to me
Property taxes on Long Island are no joke!
taxes on this house are 8700 a month
Such a beautiful home. I love seeing homes like this. Gives me ideas for my dream home.
I am in love!!! This house actually combines livability with elegance!
Well worth the price, in my opinion. Not quite my taste, but it is lovely.
Actually a beautiful house that makes me wish I had millions. I think this might be my dream home.
Standing ovation 👏👏👏 THIS is how you design and update a home. I would buy it in a second. Exquisitely designed.
This is such a beautiful property. The restoration of that belong in the great room area is marvelous. The home has been well looked after and I can appreciate that. It has so much character and I admire the architecture. I’m a lover of homes with good bones
This is stunning. Livable, practical, and above all is a home. It has a story.
If I could only afford /maintain something like that.
Wonderful job showing it.
"The laughing of the waves" I love that!
One of the few properties I feel seems underpriced! This is an amazing property!
The formal dining room is sumptuous, beautiful choice of colors. The brown shades evoke warmth & the cream whites add a light fresh feel.
I'm a little disappointed that she didn't elaborate more about the style in the great room, it's beautiful... a nice mix of Art Deco?
Great price for such substantial size house & land.
I love that this house actually feels lived in. Most mega mansions feel too empty and pretentious like no one has ever even stepped foot in it.
Might just be my house of the year on AD. Hopefully more period homes than glass boxes in 2021. Thank you AD.
This home is stunnung!
She reminds me of the librarian from monsters inc
Watching you, kawalski always watching you 😂
I dont really like the interior decoration but the structure and architecture of this house is amazing. not to mention the location. whoever lives in this house is so lucky.
Love just love this house, especially the laundry room with all the best storage options available, which amazes me because I am not fond of laundry rooms! Well done indeed to the owners who restored this house so very well!
I started watching this channel when it had around 100k subscribers. Now it has reached 4.02M subs. Great work guys 🙌🏻
Surprisingly comfortable and livable for such a grand house. It goes to show the care and thought with which architects of the past put their skills and education in proportioning, layout, circulation and detailing the spaces and exterior.
I can't afford this but $12.9 million is massive value for an estate like this
Completely worth the listed price and this house has been restored. Not much to do except paint it your favorite colors. Perfect location too!
The price surprised me as I thought it would be more. What a beautiful home, the property is just magnificent and you have your very own beach at your doorstep.
This is so gorgeous! I used to live not far from here and the area is fantastic.
This one looks worth every penny. It also looks like a home, not just a house you can tell it is well loved. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could.
This house actually seems reasonably priced! Also, those older classical homes are not usualy my style but tjr current owner did amazing with decor and actually made me like it!
My family rented that cottage by the water for 15 years, until 2010. The estate is glorious.
I feel like this video was way too short
Wonderful video!!! 👌👌 I love your uploads! 😁
great detail home places. great for family or 10 ppl to live this place, not just a couple.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Cool house!!! It's awesome. Loving the features and details of the house. The ceilings are so cool. I like that it has modern touches and appliances also. ♡ =]
What a beautiful, TRUE home ☺️
Wow... just WOW!
Solid, lived in home. Lovely!
Just great. A house that feels inhabited by people who are elegant and grounded.
Wow, what an amazing place.
Beautiful house and property. It's a mansion but seems cozy and inviting as well. Well worth the price for those who can afford it.
So so beautiful....I love the tennis court
Maggie was awesome at giving the tour!
This home really feels worth the price and smart actually
Oh this house is beyond beautiful! I'll take it. I'd be happy with the cottage.
This mansion is wholly beautiful, impressive, elegant and comfortable!
I would love a more in depth look at this place. That garage/guest house looks incredible
This is such beautiful and tasteful decor. A lot of the time this channel has showcases houses that come off tacky, not this one. I'd love to live here and sit in that library with the fire going and a cup of tea, I'd get some work done overlooking the lawn.
Stunning.
I would buy this and foster children there! Imagine growing up in a home like this.
And also have some dogs and cats and chickens. That would be amazing 😍
I love this
That cottage is awesome
lovely🥺❤️
Incredible home
I Love that even though the mansion is huge it still feels cozy and homey to me cause most homes like this just feels like a empty space and not a home but this feels like a home and not just a mansion. And frankly 12.9 Mil is a Decent price for this masterpiece so if I had this amount of money I probably spent it for this beauty not just for me but for my Family cause what is a home of no one but you lives in it.
Im glad that these homes are being restored and preserved they literally are history some of Americas moat wealthy have lived in that area had parties there its a an example of great American architecture and we should be saving more homes across the country like this
Wow, this is an amazing property
STUNNING ❤❤❤
I would love to hear this woman tour more houses without music interrupting her. I love the way she speaks and how familiar she is with everything. An absolutely amazing real estate agent.
Incredibly refreshing to see a historical home's original features celebrated, while still updated to fit the owners' needs. Also, the ONLY time I believe one of these homes is underpriced.
Spectacular!
Would have loved to see the Motor Lodge! Beautiful house.
I´d do A LOT to be able to spend a week in that cozy library with all my books while reading an chilling.
This looks like the hamptons manor of the Graysons in Revenge
I thought it would be more! That place is huge
Really beautiful
So amazing
Gorgeous 😍
I prefer the little waterfront cottage than the large mansion! It's adorable!
