Cobble Court, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

This home in the village of Indian Hill in Cincinnati, Ohio has me smitten for one reason "the Canterbury room." This home built in 1933 has a two-story library wing called the Canterbury room which features raised quotations in stone above the fireplace from Chaucer, Dante and Shakespeare and looks like an English great hall. The home is approximately 13,000 square feet and sits on nine acres. There are nine bedrooms total and the home includes all sorts of stained glass, carved stone and wood details that add to the feeling that this is a treasure from another era. At $8.7 million, it's a high price for the area but this is a truly stunning home right down to the stone carving of the home and its name, Cobble Court, on the wall.

Cobble Court, Estate of the Day

Cobble Court is one of the great Gilded Age mansions in Glen Cove, New York. Built in 1928 for Louis and Kate Luckenbach, the expansive brick chateau has been renovated to reflect the utmost in luxury without losing the type of ornate and breathtaking luxury that these estates are famous for. The seven-bedroom home has views of a private lake and Long Island Sound. Amazing woodwork, ornate tapestries, glittering chandeliers, historic wall treatments and fireplace of rare woods and stones, this home would cost a fortune to build today. The grounds of the home also include two cottages and a greenhouse. Like many of the castles and manor houses in Europe, the expense is more than just the list price, it is the cost of maintenance and taxes (over six figures). It is listed at $17.5 million. After the jump, one of the best four-poster beds I have ever seen.
