16 Sedgemere Road, Center Moriches, NY 11934

This historic 8.2+/- acre waterfront estate presents a unique opportunity and great value for a savvy waterfront buyer. Designed and built by Stanford White in the early 1900s, the home has served as a private residence, a hotel and restaurant and an elegant bed and breakfast, and is offered for sale as a private waterfront compound. One of the remaining grand estates that lined the Great South Bay, the Lindenmere was host to the rich and famous during the Roaring '20s and the Great Gatsby days. During the 1980s the property was purchased by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, who added the elevated pool and grand glass and marble pool house. Acknowledged as a historic landmark in 2015, the Lindenmere, named for the many stately 100 year old linden trees growing on the property, has undergone a major renovation, a return to its former glory as one of the remaining waterfront estates of Long Island. This majestic residence provides an unparalleled setting for a gracious living experience. The 10,000+/- sq. ft. main house overlooks an expansive lawn that leads to 425+/- ft. of bulkheaded waterfront with a private, white sandy beach and boardwalk, presenting panoramic views across the beautiful Moriches Bay to the Barrier Islands, Fire Island and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. There are 14 beautifully appointed bedroom suites and a total of 16.5 baths. The estate provides all the amenities for gracious living and entertaining, including a 20' x 40' saltwater pool and spectacular 1,200+/- sq. ft. pool house, a tennis court, and a 5,000+/- sq. ft. carriage house that with the buyer's new vision will be renovated into a fantastic separate living space. In addition, Center Moriches offers the convenience of being approximately an hour to New York City while only 10 minutes from Westhampton beaches and activities.
