Long Island, New York, Home With 200-Foot Pier Listed for $12.9 Million – Mansion Global

A nearly 100-year-old New York mansion that once belonged to Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees was listed last week for $12.9 million.

Located in the Long Island village of Lloyd Harbor, the seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom home has views of Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor, 500 feet of water frontage and a 200-foot pier with a deep dock, according to listing agent Bonnie Williamson of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. She shares the listing with Lauryn Koke, also of Sothebys.

It has always been a very special house, Ms. Williamson said. Its name, Kenjockety is an American Indian name for far from noise, which gives you a sense of the privacy that you have there.

In addition, the red brick, ivy-covered home has been meticulously restored over the last several years. About $7.5 million was spent in the process, according to Sothebys.

Everything was done over the top, Ms. Williamson said, adding that keeping the integrity of the house was a key element of the renovation. The work was done to make it last another 100 years.

Updates include a newly installed mahogany coffered ceiling which matches the original woodwork, custom mahogany closets, Venetian plaster wall treatments and new tilework throughout, according to the listing.

Radiant floor heating has also been added, Ms. Williamson noted, and the plumbing and electrical systems have been replaced. The kitchen received an overhaul as well, and now features all-new Wolf and SubZero appliances, custom cabinetry with granite counters and a new breakfast room overlooking the water.

The breakfast room that was added on to the kitchen is all window walls, so that definitely makes the kitchen nice and bright, Ms. Williamson explained.

A winter garden room allows guests and residents to soak up the light among the indoor plants, listing photos show. Outside, the manicured grounds include two greenhouses, mature gardens and a Gunite pool. The pier has been restored and the concrete seawall was rebuilt, Ms. Williamson noted.

Theres also a separate one-bedroom cottage and a four-car garage.

The home was listed in early December, according to records. It was removed from the market on Jan. 14 and relisted at the end of January. It last traded in 2011 for $7.8 million, property records show. The current owner was unavailable for comment.

Built by architect Bertram G. Goodhue in 1926, the mansion has only had six owners over the years. Gibb, one of the three brothers in the Bee Gees, which thrived in the disco era, owned the property until around 1983, according to a 2006 New York Times article. The musician died in 2012.

The Long Island Press first reported the listing.
