Fraser's Ridge: Spacious, Modern Light-Filled Loft

About the Space

Meticulously designed by owner, this newly constructed 4-bed/4-bath manor house is spacious and inviting. Located in Alden Manor, it features 2,300 square feet of luxurious interior living space (3,200 total), a bright and large living area with a 21-foot-high ceiling, north-facing oversized casement window, and well-proportioned interior spaces with curated high-end finishes and imported elements. Blending contemporary design with lasting quality, the house takes its cues from the Bauhaus movement. The architecture is modern and intentionally minimalist to highlight lux materials, fittings, and contemporary furnishings. An open floor plan and large windows invite ample natural light to permeate the home with northern and southern exposures giving a coastal vibe, complemented by more than 800 square feet of outdoor deck areas. Upon entry, the eye is drawn to the helicoidal oak staircase imported from Italy enticing you to ascend to the second-floor loft. Designed and manufactured by Marretti, the staircase is finished with a medium stain, contrasting nicely with the pre-finished blond hardwood oak floors that run throughout the first and second floors. The living area is accentuated by a suspended Taraxacum Chandelier designed by Achille Castiglioni. At night, it becomes a glowing orb shining through the floor-to-ceiling window. Set off the living area is the state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen outfitted with imported Mia Cucina Italian custom cabinetry, Italian Calacatta Caldia polished marble waterfall edge countertops and backsplash, a five-burner Bertazzoni gas range and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. Just behind the staircase is a wine bar outfitted by California Closets with custom lighting designed by Shakuff. First and second floors feature 10-foot ceilings purpose-built for the owner’s modern art collection displayed throughout the entire house. The back of the property faces south looking onto a soccer/football pitch. On the first level there are two bedrooms, one currently used as an office. A large sun room climaxes the first floor with French doors opening onto a rear deck for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. From the second-floor loft, views overlooking the first floor are architecturally inspiring. Over the course of the day, natural light flooding into the house reveals ever-changing spatial qualities. The expansive well-lit primary suite is on the second-floor at the back of the property, showcasing the oak floors in herringbone pattern, Asian-inspired furniture, custom pendants, and a sizable outdoor balcony offering views of the adjacent sports park as well as memorable sunsets. Double barn doors for closet and primary bathroom give the space a contemporary feel. The large skylit walk-in closet was custom-built by California Closets and the skylit en-suite bathroom features a custom designed dual sink walnut vanity and matching backsplash manufactured by JMV Woodworks. The vanity is finished with a beautiful quartzite waterfall edge countertop and modern faucets by Riobel. The shower is oversized with a wall of seamless glass. A rainfall showerhead, large format porcelain tile, marble seat, and herringbone shower pan complete the spa-like feel. Fraser’s Ridge is near public transportation corridors, 10 minutes from JFK, and easily and quickly accessible from Manhattan and the outer boroughs via Elmont LIRR station. Owner requires 3-week lead time prior to booking, COI, and 12-hr minimum rental.
