House proud
Built in 2004, this Riverhead estate is set above the shoreline to offer west-facing expansive views over Long Island Sound. Its high perch on a secluded lot offers maximum privacy and decks and porches nearly all around the house optimize the views over the water.
“The property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by its current ownership who is related to one of the founding families of Long Island,” said Susan Orioli, who is co-listing the property with Therese Zuhoski at Engel & Völkers North Fork. “All current and prior owners understand and embrace the soulful clarity of being at one with nature that this property provides.” Packed with amenities, she calls the offering a “rare combination of resort-level living and serene coastal seclusion.”
What’s the plan?
The first floor features three bedrooms, including the primary suite with its own living room in the turret. There two full bathrooms—one adjacent to the enclosed pool. The second floor is dedicated to the common areas: an open kitchen and dining area and family room, a separate sitting area of more than 860 square feet, two bedrooms with balcony access, and two full bathrooms.
What’s cooking?
The kitchen is equipped with professional-grade appliances, including dual ovens, an eight-burner cooktop with pot filler, twin dishwashers, beverage center, and both full-size and under-counter refrigeration. The V-shaped island provides storage and ample work space, as well as counter seating. The kitchen features stone granite countertops
“This is a true chef’s kitchen built to support hosting at scale,” Orioli says.
What else?
The home has undergone significant upgrades including a new architectural roof and solar panels, landscaping and hardscaping, smart and other enhanced technology. The gated entry and driveway create a private estate approach. The new staircase provides direct access to the private beach below—direct access alongside Friar’s Head Golf Club.

There is a custom-built astronomy platform situated above the shoreline. “It’s a unique experiential feature for stargazing,” Orioli says. “Whether stargazing or soul-searching, this is a home with a nature all its own.”
Agent’s callout
“The area offers an understated luxury coastal lifestyle. The vibe is refined, private, and nature-driven rather than commercial or trendy,” says Orioli. “This home is ideal for buyers seeking privacy, prestige and authentic North Fork coastal character with effortless access to the South Fork, North Fork and New York City.”
