Versailles in New York: Twinight, the six-acre Centre Island estate said to be based on the Petit Trianon chateau at the Palace of Versailles, has just come on the NY real estate market for $25 million.

Located on six acres in Centre Island on Long Island Sound Twinight is simple and elegant, architecturally correct, and highly original. Essentially an exercise on a cube, the estate attracts interest by virtue of its four facades, each thoughtfully designed according to that part of the estate it would face.

Playing with words, owner Richard Baron Cohen, a well-known European porcelain collector coined the name Twinight for his house while enjoying the delicate pink of twilight, his favorite time of day, on a beautiful beach near his house.

Built in 2005 the 18,000-square-foot home features a full movie theater and a two-story library.

Cohen says he is selling because he wants to buy a Manhattan town house to be closer to his mother and his brother and where he can open a museum to house his porcelain collection, also named Twinight.
