The homes were characterized by their red Spanish tile roofs, a newspaper advertisement from the time shows. The ad, published in the New York Daily Tribune in 1910, also states: “We give with each house a plot of land, from one-half to one acre, worth from $6,000 to $10,000.”<\/p>\n
This particular house\u00a0belonged to Duke and his wife, said listing agent Ann Hance, of Compass.<\/p>\n
“The others were built as sort of social homes for guests to come and stay,” she said.<\/p>\n
“The ceiling height and the millwork give the home a certain amount of grandeur,” the listing agent said of the five-bedroom house. Credit: Susan Auriemma Photography<\/p>\n
The house features a grand foyer encompassed by chevron-patterned flooring, six fireplaces (a mix of wood-burning and gas), a spacious dining room, full basement and central air conditioning. There is a two-car garage with a legal one-bedroom apartment that is currently being rented, Hance said.<\/p>\n
The property spans more than 5,900 square feet, on a 0.62-acre lot.<\/p>\n
“It’s very\u00a0stately from the front,” she said.\u00a0“The ceiling height and the millwork give the home a certain amount of grandeur.”<\/p>\n

The house is less than a mile away from Manhasset\u2019s Long Island Rail Road station, with several businesses and eateries nearby.<\/p>\n
“Plandome Road is a very typical Main Street,” Hance said. “And this is a large home that\u2019s close to all of those lifestyle amenities.”<\/p>\n
