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.

How Big is Too Big
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
Despite the floor area ratios (F.A.R.) rules that govern the maximum size of homes in Scarsdale, many new, big and bigger houses keep going up. Whether it’s just the lack of trees, or the owners or builders receiving variances, here are a few houses that appear to be too large for their locations.
On Brewster Road, a ranch, set on one acre was torn down after many heated village meetings. Three houses are set to be built on the site – one is up, the second is underway, and the house across the street has a for sale sign in front. Can you blame them?
In Fox Meadow on Brite Avenue another reconstruction is in process. The builder appears to have big plans and the house looks to be far larger than the one it replaced.
A diminutive house once stood on this plot at 10 Montrose Road, directly across the street from the Greenacres field. Though we don’t have a picture of the original home, you can’t miss the new one which is set on a high lot and looms over the field and neighboring homes.
The house shown above on Carstensen Road has been under construction for as long as we can remember and has grown quite close to the property lines on the right, left and in the rear. It appears to exceed the maximum far ratio which requires that a house be no more than .43 percent of the size of the lot.
Are any bonus size homes going up in your area? Take a photo and share it with the readers at Scardale10583 by emailing pictures to scarsdalecomments@gmail.com
