I recently had the opportunity to view this incredible estate in East Islip, for full pictures & article be sure to read !

Many of my readers know that I truly am intrigued by historical homes, the charm of these homes come from the stories the walls could tell, the treasures found in a homes antique fixtures and woodwork give you the feeling of a different time and place. The owners of this estate began planning for this home years before it was even built, with inspiration taken from the homes of Harry Knapp who owned estates in East Islip in the early 1900’s - the Creekside Estate as well as the more well known Brookwood. I recently had the opportunity to view this estate, and not only find out the information for my readers about the home but about the inspiration and drive behind this extraordinary home !
