Footprint: 6,006 square feet (six bedrooms, four and one half baths)
Lot Size: 3.4 acres
From the Agent: "The Snyder House is something of a legend in the long history of Shelter Island. Built in 1952 and designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg, 2 Charlie’s Lane offers magnificent panoramic water views of West Neck Harbor and Long Island Sound. The home has long considered a ‘must see,’ and onlookers would come from the island and beyond, many transported by amphibious airplanes from New York City to experience the so-called ‘demonstration house.’ In 2002, the current owners undertook rebuilding the home on its original sprawling footprint, maintaining the elements of its midcentury-modern design while sparing no expense to bring this 20th-century masterpiece up to 21st-century living standards of ultimate comfort and high-end quality."
A wide, pebbled driveway leads to the waterfront home, which sits on a lush, private lot.
The kitchen, located just around the corner of the living room, offers direct outdoor access. Stone floors run throughout both spaces.
One of the home’s most notable features is the massive stone fireplace, complete with eight flues. Glazing wraps around the main living areas, framing waterfront views.
Large windows and captivating views continue in the primary bedroom, which has a plush reading area and a fully remodeled en suite bath.
In addition to a spacious media room, the property also features a 74-foot-long heated saltwater pool, a private beach, and a 235-foot-deep water dock.
2 Charlie's Lane in Shelter Island, New York, is currently listed for $13,950,000 by Nick Brown of Sotheby's International Realty.
