A pair of recently sold homes in Nassau County exemplify the remarkable breadth of Long Island’s residential market, with one property commanding nearly $6 million and the other closing for under $600,000. Though separated by more than $5 million, the two homes reflect distinct lifestyles and priorities among buyers on the North Shore.
The highest sale in the past 30 days was 112 Plymouth Court in Manhasset, a newly constructed Colonial that closed on May 28 for $5.83 million. Built in 2023 and located in the prestigious Village of Plandome, the 5,200-square-foot home blends high-end craftsmanship with modern amenities. It features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a sprawling 2,600-square-foot finished basement that includes a gym, children’s play area, bar, and full bath.
The property is designed for luxury living and entertaining. A heated gunite saltwater pool with a water feature, an Ipe lounging bed, and two covered verandahs equipped with outdoor televisions and a full kitchen enhance its outdoor appeal. Inside, radiant heat runs beneath European white oak floors, while a chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-tier Miele and Wolf appliances. A temperature-controlled garage with epoxy flooring adds to the attention to detail. This home was listed by Elizabeth T. Lindenmeier of R New York and bought with Qiaoqiao Chen of E Realty International Corp.
By contrast, the lowest sale over the same period occurred just six days earlier in Glen Cove. The home at 5 Terrace Place, a modest Colonial built in 1902, sold for $587,500. Spanning 1,176 square feet, the three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence offers a more traditional suburban experience. Renovated in 2018, the home includes a chef’s kitchen with natural gas appliances, hardwood flooring, and a wood-burning fireplace that adds character and warmth.
While lacking the scale and modern technology of the Manhasset estate, the Glen Cove property delivers comfort and functionality. A private deck off the master bedroom and a one-car garage provide everyday convenience. Its location near public transportation, schools, parks, and beaches highlights its appeal for families and commuters alike. This home was listed by Luis C. Cardenas of Coldwell Banker American Homes and bought with Alana Lucidi of Signature Premier Properties.
Despite their differences, both properties reflect the enduring desirability of the North Shore. The Manhasset home appeals to high-net-worth buyers seeking exclusivity and premium design in a secluded cul-de-sac. Meanwhile, the Glen Cove property attracts value-conscious buyers who prioritize accessibility and charm in a historic neighborhood.
The two sales also underscore the region’s broad market spectrum. Whether it’s a high-end, custom-built estate or a century-old Colonial, North Shore real estate continues to offer something for every buyer, from those seeking luxury and leisure to those focused on practicality and proximity.
As the market evolves, such contrasting transactions highlight how Long Island’s residential landscape accommodates a wide array of lifestyles, budgets, and preferences, all within a few miles of each other.
