‘Rare’ Robert A.M. Stern-Designed Home Hits the Market for First Time in Decades

A “rare opportunity” to own one of just two Robert A.M. Stern-designed estates in Nassau County has come onto the market for $8.3 million, just a stone’s throw from the Oyster Bay Harbor waterfront.

Known as Miramar, the four-bedroom estate was built in 1982, but recently underwent a multiyear renovation that was completed in 2025—bringing a fresh perspective to Stern’s jaw-dropping design.

This marks the first time that the Mill Neck, NY, dwelling has been put on the market since the late 1980s, having been owned by the same family for decades.

“This is the first time the property has been available in nearly 40 years,” said listing agent Paul Mateyunas of Douglas Elliman. “The current owners renovated it to a personal level, so everything that was done is top quality and it is one of the truest turnkey houses on the market.”

Though the dwelling is a far cry from Stern’s landmark designs—which include 220 Central Park South and 15 Central Park West—it still bears many of the most prominent hallmarks of his work, which famously combined historical context with contemporary functionality.

The four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom is also one of the first of Stern’s designs to come to the market since his death in November at the age of 86.

At the time, tributes to the designer poured in from around the world, many calling attention to the more prominent of his architectural legacies, including several New York City condo buildings, as well as other public spaces, like the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.

Although the architect’s commercial properties were arguably more functional than they were fashionable, his residential work—including this estate—appears to have given him a chance to experiment more with his signature style.

“Stern is considered a leading postmodernist architect known for blending historical context, classical tradition, and modern functionality,” the listing notes. “[This is] a rare opportunity to acquire a masterpiece of residential design: one of only two Robert A.M. Stern homes in Nassau County.”

The Long Island residence, which sits on the Gold Coast, is located on 4.68 acres and offers breathtaking views of Oyster Bay and Centre Island.

Designed with a beautifully symmetrical facade, the property features five gables at the front, which conceal the bulk of the estate that stretches out across the elegantly landscaped grounds.

Found throughout the 5,233-square-foot open floor plan are cathedral ceilings, crown molding, built-ins, three fireplaces, expansive glass to capture the stunning scenery, and French doors that open up to covered terraces and an enormous wraparound patio.

The stunning grounds were also recently reimagined by landscape architect Fernando Wong.

“He took the landscape design and incorporated modern elements as well to frame the outdoor spaces,” he added. “It’s truly a work of art.”

A dining room designed for grand-scale entertaining overlooks the meticulously landscaped lot.

The gourmet eat-in chef’s kitchen boasts quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a wine refrigerator, and glass doors that open up to the outdoor living area.

A lavish primary suite features vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and an opulent bathroom with dual vanities, custom cabinetry, a soaking tub, and a dressing room.

The spacious property also has a four-car garage and in-ground swimming pool.

“It sits in the village of Mill Neck in a very desirable location surrounded by significant estates,” Mateyunas noted. “From the views to the grounds, you feel like you are on vacation every day.”

“I think it would be the perfect home for someone to use either as a primary residence or Hamptons alternative. It’s better than new construction and everything has been redone in the home.”
