History

The Simdervelt Mansion is rich in history and is a fixture in Brindleton Bay. The home was originally built in 1762 as a 2-story 12-room estate in for an early generation of the Landgraab family. In the late 1800s, a fire ravaged through the entire north side of the main structure requiring a complete renovation. Then, in the early 1900s, the mansion was sold to the Simdervelt family, a prominent fixture in Brindleton Bay who became incredibly wealthy through creating a fishing boat empire. Through three generations, the Simdervelt family renovated and expanded the mansion to introduce electricity and central air, as well as additional living space for entertaining only the finest families of Brindleton Bay. After living in the mansion for over 100 years, the Simdervelt family has decided to move onto their next generational property. So, after one final renovation took place in the early 2020s to modernize the fixtures and interior, the landmark property is being brought to the market.

This is the first time that the general public has been allowed to look inside the historic and stately mansion, presenting an exciting opportunity!

The First Floor

The first floor of the home is well-suited for entertaining exclusive dinner parties and social gatherings. A large Grand Foyer flows to a front Living Room, and then back to a Keeping Room. On the other side of the Grand Foyer is a formal Dining Room with seating for 8. It is rumored that the Simdervelt family once entertained the Royal Family in the Dining Room, but nobody knows for certain. The Kitchen is offset from the Dining Room, and has a side preparation kitchen for either a live-in or hired private chef. On the sides of the first floor are a large library and home office, both offset for more private entertaining of smaller groups of guests. The family room is located at the back of the first level, and provides access to the back porch. There are five fireplaces on the first floor (Library, Dining Room, Living Room, Keeping Room, and Office).

The Second Floor

The second floor offers sleeping accommodations for both the owners and any of their guests. There are four primary bedroom suites.

The first bedroom is the Master Suite. A large bedroom chamber offers views of the front yard, and is complete with a marble and mahogany fireplace for the cold winter nights. A large bathroom is located at the back of the home and Master Suite, and is complete with a soaking jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower with dual shower heads, an enclosed toilet area, and dual sinks. The Master Suite also has a large walk-in closet for all those flashy outfits needed when entertaining or out at a social gathering.

The other three bedroom suites are themed by color: the Pink Bedroom, Red Bedroom, and Blue Bedroom. The Red Bedroom has access to the front balcony, while the Pink Bedroom has access to a large 2nd floor deck. The Blue bedroom, while absent of a balcony, does have a fireplace and two walk-in closets. Each of the themed bedrooms has an adjoining ensuite bathroom with similar colored theme.

The Grounds

The grounds of the mansion are adorned in expansive landscaping, offering seclusion and relaxation during all four seasons.

The backyard is set up for both leisure and reflection. On one side of the backyard is a large oval pool with several lounge areas. An outdoor kitchen is located on the side of the pool area, as well. On the other side of the backyard is a courtyard and garden, with a stone pathway to the garden house. Outdoor lighting is strategically placed around the grounds of the mansion.
