Inside the Original Gold Coast Estate of Brooks Brothers's Claudio del Vecchio That's Listed for $12.5 Million

Lovers of the past, prepare to be smitten with this original 1915 Gold Coast residence listed with Sotheby's. Claudio del Vecchio, chairman of Brooks Brothers, is selling his spectacular Long Island residence full of turn-of-the-century American glamour and elegance. The 8.1-acre estate houses a 13,058-square-foot residence that boasts nine bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, and three half-baths. The estate is also home to a magical outdoor space with walled English gardens, a tennis court with lights, putting green, playground, and heated gunite pool. There's also a beautiful sunroom for perfecting indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

Both the exterior and interior of the home have undergone an immaculate renovation and restoration to its former glory, featuring a blend of Jazz Age opulence and modern luxuries. The grand formal living and dining rooms are adorned with stunning moldings of a bygone era, plus a cozy wine cellar with old-world influence. There is also an indoor fitness center with a pool, a beautiful and functional dog spa, an elevator, and a custom chef's gourmet kitchen (and a second caterer's kitchen).

Another notable mention is the variety of bedrooms. There is a glorious owners's suite with two dressing rooms—perfect for stocking with Brooks Brothers suiting—and six en suite bedrooms, including a handicap-accessible bedroom with its own compliant bathroom and a separate guest quarters.
