Outdoor Living in Old Brookville, NY

Old Brookville sits at the center of Nassau County's Gold Coast corridor, adjacent to Brookville and Upper Brookville, sharing their character of wooded multi-acre estates, horse properties, and quiet country roads that belie the village's proximity to the Long Island Expressway. Properties along Hegeman's Lane, Valentine's Lane, and Cedar Swamp Road feature the kind of generous acreage that allows for truly expansive outdoor living designs.

The village's rolling terrain and dense tree cover create natural outdoor rooms that our designs enhance and formalize. A clearing among oaks becomes a fire pit terrace. A flat area behind the house becomes a kitchen and dining zone. A south-facing slope becomes a terraced entertainment space with retaining walls and views across the property. We read the landscape during our initial site visit and design features that work with what the land naturally offers.

Many Old Brookville homes reflect the architectural heritage of the Gold Coast — brick Colonials, stone-faced Tudors, and grand Georgian estates. Outdoor living features need to speak the same design language. We match stone types, mortar profiles, and proportions to the existing architecture so fireplaces, kitchen islands, and walls read as extensions of the home rather than disconnected additions.

Old Brookville's building department administers permits for outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, roofed structures, and utility connections. We manage all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard project scope, ensuring full compliance with the village's zoning and building codes.
