Restored Gold Coast estate for sale for $3.276 million

Interior designer Kim Hendrickson-Radovich and husband, Glen, are selling their 23-room Colonial Revival home in Muttontown. Woodstock Manor was originally built in 1912 by architect Henry Otis Chapman.

The estate was once the summer home of William H. Vander Poel and his wife, Gretchen Billings Vander Poel, whose father, C.K.G. Billings, was chairman of the Union Carbide company, and one of the nation's wealthiest men. Billings owned the property in Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, which would one day become the Cloisters museum.

Kim Hendrickson-Radovich, owner of E. Courtney Interiors & Design, says the home has been completely renovated in the four years since she and her husband purchased it. Efforts were made to retain or restore original details. All 11 bathrooms were retiled and new water-efficient toilets installed, while all orginal tubs and most sinks were saved. The original oak floors have been retained, and copies made of the original shutters and awnings add to the home’s authenticity. A new driveway and classical style pool were added to the property, and 87 rolls of wallcovering applied to the hallways.

"The house was in huge disrepair … now it is pretty spectacular," says Hendrickson-Radovich, whose daughter Elizabeth Hendrickson plays Chloe Mitchell on the CBS soap opera "The Young and the Restless." "The home has its life back again," she says. "It’s my greatest achievement as an interior designer."

The home is listed with Bonnie Williamson of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty for $3.276 million.
