What do Clients Say?

SOLD IN OYSTER BAY COVE: My experience with Donnamarie was exceptional! From start to finish she was professional, knowledgeable and communicative and organized. I highly recommend her. Andrew

Seller

SOLD IN OYSTER BAY COVE: Donnamarie learned our house, every detail of it and proudly showed it to guests at open houses and by appointment. She knows Oyster Bay, she knows Oyster Bay Cove and understands when a prospective buyer is serious or just looking. She didn’t waste our time. This is a tough housing market and she was a tough taskmaster in helping us to clear our house of clutter and stage it properly. Donnamarie was so good she sold our house in the middle of the worst winter in memory. Hazel

Personal Background

Donnamarie has lived on the North Shore's Gold Coast for more than 20 years and is a Luxury Portfolio Specialist.

LI's Gold Coast Has A Rich History

Just a short ride from New York City on Long Island’s North Shore lies a place of uninhibited wealth and opulence immortalized in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book,

The Great Gatsby. Many of the “Gold Coast” mansions that grace this scenic coastal area, so-called due to the huge concentration of fortunes here, are open for the public’s perusal and enjoyment.

Come to Long Island’s Gold Coast and take a step back in time to the 1920s when neighbors at the upper echelon of high society strove to out-do each other in terms of lavish, castle-like mansions and gardens of European caliber. Visit Old Westbury Gardens, the Vanderbilt Estate, or the Frick Estate at the Nassau County Museum of Art. Over a half-dozen estates, once owned by some of the most famous people from New York, have been converted to public use. Many offer art galleries and tours, and others open to allow visitors to stroll the grounds and spectacular gardens to get a feel for what life was like for the privileged few.

Others such as Oheka castle, once the home of Otto Hermann Kahn, and the Glen Cove Mansion, once a Pratt family estate, are open to the public for events and overnight accommodations.
