Spring Knolls, Great Neck, NY 11024

Property Description

Behold Spring Knoll, a true masterpiece flawlessly integrating the opulence of Versailles with today’s most modern living standards. The mansion unfolds on 3 Acres of picturesque manicured waterfront property with a private deep-water dock, located in the Prestigious Village of Kings Point.

The estate exudes quality craftsmanship from the moment the handmade wrought iron automatic gates grant access to the property. Down the long Belgian Cobblestone driveway, a rare marble fountain imported from The Rothschild Estate In France can be seen upon the approach to the all-French Limestone mansion columned with some of the last remaining marble from the French quarry used to build Versailles. The exterior walls feature intricate hand carvings, mostly done on site, the slate roof is masterful and the balustraded grand terrace overlooking the water is awe-inspiring.

The foyer boasts Pietra Dura flooring and solid hand-carved Limestone columns leading to the great room, styled with Boiserie Removed From Centuries-Old French Chateaus and reassembled on site, a soaring hand-painted ceiling with real gold leaf, opera quality acoustics and floor to ceiling windows with hardware custom made from the actual antique molds used in Versailles and other important French Castles. Both main powder rooms are graced with handmade Verre Eglomis mirrors from France and solid marble sinks carved from a singular piece of marble.

The suite’s top level features a shared floor with a floor to ceiling canopy draped master bed, multiple sitting areas, multiple fireplaces, private elevator, and two bathrooms. The second level hosts the Her master bathroom with a marble tub carved from one piece of stone, an oversized steam shower with solid decorative metal which later inspired the bathroom’s in the Paris’s Bristol Hotel, Pietra Dura walls, Verre Eglomise mirrors and a massive two-story walk-in closet with elevator. The first level hosts the His bathroom with steam shower, imported marble flooring, matching solid decorative metal doors and custom walk-in closet.
