Introducing Mon Repo, a stunning estate nestled in the desirable estate section of Southampton. This property boasts a rich historical background and captivating beauty. Constructed around 1898 for Judge Alonzo Monson, it remained within his family until approximately 1904, when it transitioned to the Carnegie family, who held ownership until around 1932. The present owners acquired it in 1994 and collaborated with a celebrated interior designer to transform the estate into what it is now. The renovation harmonized various spaces, expanded hallways and staircases, and included complete updates to plumbing, electricity, heating, multi-zoned air conditioning, as well as new water heaters, a boiler, and a state-of-the-art security system. Major reconstruction and enhancements to the three-story residence led to a magnificent new kitchen, an additional six bedrooms, and multiple covered terraces. Set on a level 4.6 acres, this estate features the shingled circa 1898 Dutch Colonial main house and the original barn, which Judge Monson built for his prized racehorses. This barn has been transformed into a breathtaking great room, showcasing exposed beams and an array of French doors that open to the lush gardens, pool, lawns, and tennis court.
The main residence spans over 12,000 square feet, featuring twenty-five rooms, eleven fireplaces, eleven bedrooms, and twelve full and three half bathrooms. The home is characterized by ideal proportions and intricate moldings throughout. The grand Palladian entrance leads into a central hall adorned with a columned fireplace. An open breakfast room, boasting a wood-burning fireplace, serves as the core connecting the entrance hall, library, and a 34-foot living room, where French doors open to a raised terrace surrounded by gardens, leading down to the pool area. The magnificent living room is defined by a barrel-vaulted ceiling angled to maximize sunlight exposure and is illuminated with windows on three sides. Anchored by a large double-columned fireplace, this space also features custom French doors that lead to a breezeway connecting to the barn. Mon Repo presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property steeped in history. It is listed for $26 million with Bespoke Real Estate.
