Behind the exquisite décor, much work was done to ensure that future generations will enjoy "Young’s Homestead"

Capturing panoramic seascapes from almost every room, this recently renovated home is sited on 4+ pastoral acres of waterfront overlooking Oyster Bay Harbor, Centre Island and Cove Neck. Known for generations as Youngs’s Homestead, this shingled farmhouse dates to the earliest settlement of the area and was a long-time center of colonial life. In 1790, George Washington payed the honor of staying as a guest during his tour of Long Island, and a portrait commemorating this event is displayed in the local Oyster Bay Post Office. Over the years, various modifications were made to the original building as it evolved with changing lifestyles, but it was left to the current owners to reconcile these changes and imbue them with an historical charm that left room for luxurious modern-day living.
