"The Snyder House" is something of a legend in the long history of Shelter Island. Built in 1952 and designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg for John Snyder, the CEO of the Pressed Steel Car Company, 2 Charlie's Lane was recognized as a mid-century marvel, both in design and waterfront location, offering magnificent panoramic water views of West Neck Harbor and Long Island Sound (Source: Official Bertrand Goldberg website). Considered a "must see," onlookers would come from the Island and beyond, many transported by amphibious airplanes from New York City to experience the so-called "demonstration house." In 2002, the current owners undertook rebuilding the home on its original sprawling footprint, maintaining the elements of its mid-century modernist design while sparing no expense to bring this 20th-century masterpiece up to 21st-century living standards of ultimate comfort and high-end quality. The result is a 6,000+/- square foot one-level oasis perched on 3.4+/- acres, that has stood the test of time, surrounded by water, offering magical sunsets, and jaw-dropping water views that remain as spectacular today as those enjoyed by Mr. Snyder 70 years ago. The original massive stone fireplace (with 8 flues), and stone floors pay homage to Bertrand Goldberg's vision, providing a dramatic contrast with the interior glass walls, revealing water and nature beyond. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 and 1/2 baths, a cook's kitchen, and numerous seating areas. Outside there is 74-foot-long heated saltwater gunite pool, a private beach, plus something truly rare and unusual: a 235 foot deep water dock. Located in the heart of Shelter Island, with easy access to world-class dining and shopping, "The Snyder House," is not to be missed, offering a rare opportunity to live in history and experience the magic of 2 Charlie's Lane.
