| The home was designed by Peabody, Wilson & Brown - celebrated architects of Long Island's most prestigious turn-of-the-century estates. Robbins first wife was Frances Folsom Cleveland Lamont the goddaughter of President Grover Cleveland. Her father was Secretary of War in President Cleveland's cabinet. Robbins second wife was Anna Robenne, a beautiful Russian ballerina. In approximately 1928 Delano and Aldrich designed an elegant ballroom (now extant) and pool. Many grand parties must have taken place on the estate. |

Built for Francis LeBaron Robbins, a New York lawyer and a direct descendant of the Mayflower's Governor Bradford, the home spans 5020 sq. ft and boasts 9 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths and 5 wood burning fireplaces. It's located on 2 acres.
The home's impeccable quality of construction radiates throughout, where gracious crown moldings frame each thoughtfully appointed space and lustrous hardwood floors create an atmosphere of refined warmth. A multi-layered deck and multiple bluestone patios offer outside settings and a charming cottage with a front porch is perfect for creating childhood adventures. A sunken garden and pool await restoration. |
