If you’ve been dreaming of a home that feels like a private coastal resort right here on Long Island, the opportunity has just arrived—and it’s nothing short of breathtaking.
A rare Hampton-style waterfront estate at 279 Little Neck Road in Centerport, NY has just hit the market for $5.895 million, offering the kind of elevated coastal luxury typically reserved for the East End—but with all the convenience and charm of western Suffolk County. Set on a sprawling 1.8-acre private parcel and boasting 269 feet of west-facing shoreline, this architectural masterpiece brings together master craftsmanship, world-class amenities, and unobstructed bayfront views that promise jaw-dropping sunsets night after night.
Location, Location, Waterfront Location
Nestled in the highly sought-after Little Neck section of Centerport, this custom-built home is a hidden gem—yet only minutes from Centerport Beach, Northport Village, and major commuter routes. The property’s prime location offers tranquility and privacy, while still being accessible to everything Long Islanders love: charming harborside towns, top-tier schools, marinas, golf courses, and some of the best waterfront dining in the region.
But what truly sets this home apart is its 270-degree panoramic bay views. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee from the kitchen or evening cocktails from the patio, nearly every room frames the bay like a living painting. And thanks to its westward orientation, the estate offers spectacular sunsets you simply won’t find anywhere else on the North Shore.
Boater’s Dream with a 170-Foot Private Dock
Boating enthusiasts, take note: this is more than just a waterfront home—it’s a full-fledged boating haven. The estate features a 170-foot dock capable of accommodating large vessels, jet skis, paddleboards, and more. From here, you can cruise through Northport Bay, explore the Long Island Sound, or spend the day fishing or sailing—all from your backyard.
The dock is complemented by lush landscaped grounds, stone walkways, and thoughtfully curated outdoor living areas that include expansive patios, a covered porch, and multiple seating areas designed for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
A Masterpiece of Hampton-Inspired Architecture
The home itself spans more than 6,000 square feet of meticulously designed living space. Every inch of this five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom residence exudes timeless elegance and top-tier luxury.
From the moment you walk through the grand entryway, you're greeted by soaring ceilings, wide-plank wood floors, and sunlight that pours in through oversized windows. The open-concept living and dining spaces flow effortlessly into one another, ideal for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining.
Key interior highlights include:
-
Radiant heated floors throughout
-
Multiple fireplaces, including a stunning stone hearth in the great room
-
An elevator for convenience and accessibility
-
Chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large center island
-
Spacious ensuite bedrooms, each with spa-like bathrooms
-
A luxurious primary suite with private terrace, fireplace, and views that stretch across the bay
And if that weren’t enough, the home’s fully finished lower level is a destination in and of itself. Think home theater, wine cellar, gym, or even a game room—whatever your lifestyle calls for, this level delivers.
Luxury Outdoor Living, Redefined
In the warmer months, the line between indoor and outdoor living blurs completely. The expansive patios, verdant lawns, and tiered gardens offer countless ways to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle. Picture hosting sunset soirees, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, or simply lounging with a book while the waves lap gently nearby.
And thanks to its 1.8-acre lot, the home provides an exceptional level of privacy that’s increasingly rare on Long Island’s waterfront.
