Admire the entry sequence of rooms out to the rear portico. Would love to see more of this estate.

Zach, note that the Horowitz place was the scene of a huge fire in the winter of 1954 and demolished after that. My father was a member of Locust Valley Fire Department and spent the night and the better part of the next day there. During the fire, the ceiling of the south portico fell on several firemen, injuring them. The property remained vacant until about 8-10 years ago when two McMansions were built there.
