An eclectic collection of country estates and suburban residences characterize Woodbury, part of Long Islands Gold Coast. The area exemplifies the great wealth and architectural grandeur of the North Shore at the turn of the century. Willow Pond is a provincial residence of compelling design and proportion. Commissioned in 1935 by United States secretary treasurer Ogden Mills for his daughter, architect Russell Pope's 7,500-square-foot Georgian brick mansion conveys a comfortable, manageable ambiance.

Originally, Ogden Mills built this home for his daughter as a wedding gift.  However, Woodbury was not as well-known at the time and she preferred to move to Oyster Bay Cove. Mr. Mills was so enamored by the vistas and surroundings that he chose it as his personal residence.  The original sundial is still prominently displayed in the magnificent backyard on the back wall of the home.

This fabulous, finial-coifed, hipped-roof facade with barrel-arched, front-door pediment and shell cartouche beckons from behind the formal, walled entrance courtyard. The superbly maintained interior is punctuated by elaborate crown moldings, richly finished oak floors, American pine paneling, myriad French doors opening to two terraces, and handsome original fireplaces. The grounds are distinctive tapestry of formal and informal elements, including a large, spring-fed, stocked pond and majestic specimen and ornamental flora that beautifully compliment the multiple terraces, pool, and tennis court. Willow Pond is an elegant, sophisticated country manor.
