Property Description

17 Forest Drive, Sands Point
Live inspired in this reimagined Norman Jaffe mid-century modern masterpiece, set on two private acres in coveted Sands Point. One of the few remaining Jaffe-designed residences on Long Island, this fully renovated 7,600-square-foot estate has been meticulously restored and elevated to 2026 standards, blending iconic architecture with modern luxury.
Defined by soaring ceilings, rich wood detailing, and expansive walls of French doors, the home offers seamless indoor-outdoor living with multiple terraces, an in-ground heated pool, and signature Crab Orchard stone elements integrated throughout the landscape.
The five-bedroom, five full and two half bath layout has been completely redesigned. The oversized bi-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, private enclosed terrace and adjacent loft with additional half bath perfect for closets, dressing area, office or gym. A flexible bedroom wing includes two bedrooms with an adjoining sitting room, ideal for lounge, media, or creative workspace use. Additional ensuite and guest bedrooms provide versatility for family, guests, or office needs.
The walk-out lower level offers a large recreation/family room, sauna, full bath, and direct access to the grounds, enhancing the home’s resort-like lifestyle.
Private beach access, Port Washington Schools, the Village Club of Sands Point (membership required), Sands Point Preserve, North Shore dining and shopping, and the LIRR with direct access to Manhattan complete this unparalleled offering presenting a rare opportunity to own this design-forward architectural estate.
