Shelter Island, NY 11964

[[Rental Registration # 2024-L-0023]] This gracious Shelter Island farmhouse, once the home of author Faith Baldwin, has been lovingly restored and is available for rent for the first time. Set within a grove of majestic pines, this waterfront home with views to Westmoreland Farms on the bay, has a palpable feeling of a glimpse to the past while integrating today's modern amenities. The foyer is designed for greeting and taking in the views, standing next to one of four fireplaces. To the right is an expansive living room, where both the blue salt water and the pines can be appreciated. A little farther on is a media room-office. To the left of the foyer is the dining area, a sitting area and the updated kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, 2 Bosch dishwashers and wine refrigerator. There is a first floor guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. On the second floor, the spacious primary bedroom has a sitting area and en suite bathroom with tub and separate shower. There are 3 more beautifully decorated bedrooms, each with a distinctive personality. A wide mahogany entertainment deck is just off the foyer and dining area, and the rolling lawns lead to a 20-x40 Gunite pool and 65-foot long deep water dock. Located in a quiet, private community with close proximity to Sunset Beach, the Pridwin, tennis, golf and ferry, this historic farmhouse has all the ingredients for an idyllic summer stay!
