WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
Imagine a brilliantly landscaped home overlooking the Long Island Sound in Lloyd Neck, NY, with its own jetty and stunning water views as far as Connecticut. Enjoy the good life inside this custom 7,000SF, 5BR masterpiece set on two acres of bulkhead property. Almost every bedroom has a view of the water. There are a total of six baths and three half-baths. An expansive living room has spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors and a fireplace (one of four throughout). The master suite has its own stunning marble fireplace, plus a Jacuzzi in the adjacent his-and-her master bath. The eat-in gourmet kitchen is dressed up in custom wood cabinetry. Off both the family and dining rooms, there’s a great screened-in patio for Sunday morning coffee and evening tête-à-têtes. There’s also a lovely glass-enclosed garden room, and a main house gym that comes with dazzling views. It’s yours for $3.95 million.

MIAMI NICE
Waterfront home seekers will like what they see at the new Trump Towers on Collins Avenue, on Sunny Isles Beach in Miami.

gourmet kitchens with imported custom cabinetry, granite or marble countertops, and appliances courtesy of Miele and Sub-Zero.
