A custom-built mansion on Long Island Sound sold for $8.25 million earlier this month in one of the most expensive sales so far this year on Nassau's Gold Coast. The price reflected the Sands Point house's rare deepwater dock and western-facing views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as its move-in condition, said Maggie Keats, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman, who listed the home. "It's hard to replicate that," she said. The property also offered several features that would not be permitted if a homeowner were to build today under village code, including two driveways and a wider than allowed structure, Keats said. Keats declined to identify the seller, who was the only owner of the house since it was rebuilt in 2004. The house, in the Port Washington school district, has property taxes of about $77,000 a year. The deal was the sixth to close at more than $8 million on Nassau's North Shore so far this year. It follows a flurry of high-priced sales, including the record-breaking $28.75 million sale of Billy Joel's Centre Island estate. Last year, only two Gold Coast deals eclipsed the $8 million mark, Newsday previously reported. Those homes were in Lattingtown and Plandome Manor. In addition to the dock, the backyard includes a saltwater pool, a pool house and an outdoor kitchen equipped with two grills. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom house offers views of the Sound and the skyline from multiple rooms on the main level as well as from the primary bedroom and bathroom through custom mahogany windows. There's also a wine room with a 3,000-bottle, climate-controlled storage system.

Selling in the winter on Long Island does come with logistical challenges, but it also offers a powerful advantage: far less competition. Inventory typically dips during the holidays and colder months, meaning serious buyers have fewer options and are often more motivated. The key is positioning your home to stand out both emotionally and visually. Winter is the ideal season to lean into cozy luxury. Homes can feel incredibly inviting when staged thoughtfully. Layer in texture with cashmere throws, wool rugs, and velvet pillows, and use soft, warm lighting throughout. Fireplaces should be lit when possible, paired with subtle seasonal scents like cedar or vanilla to create a welcoming atmosphere without overpowering the space. The goal is to make buyers feel like they want to be snowed in there. Planning ahead is equally important. Whenever possible, capture exterior photos and video before the leaves fall so marketing is not limited by bare landscaping. High-quality photography and video are essential in winter, with twilight shots being especially impactful. Warm interior color grading helps spaces feel bright and inviting even on short days, and tasteful virtual landscaping can enhance curb appeal when needed. Ultimately, winter should be reframed as an advantage. The buyers looking now are not browsing; they are buying.
