**MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2026 / **The historic Gold Coast estate originally commissioned by Wall Street financier Henry Upham Harris has been meticulously restored and reimagined by award-winning master builder Andrea D’Alessio and The Inspirata Group. The project reflects a combination of historic preservation, modern engineering, and luxury craftsmanship across more than 31,000 square feet of living space on 32 acres.

The estate’s nine-year restoration included a full renovation of the original 18,000-square-foot Cotswold-style manor, a 10,000-square-foot addition, and comprehensive updates to the 3,000-square-foot gatehouse. Every architectural element was carefully reconstructed or custom-fabricated to maintain the home’s original aesthetic while integrating state-of-the-art engineering, mechanical systems, and luxury finishes.

Key features include 20-foot chimneys, intricately sculpted limestone balustrades, hand-carved stone detailing, and a custom hand-cast seahorse fountain engineered to replicate natural water movement. These exceptional design elements contributed to the project earning three national Cast Stone Institute Excellence Awards, recognizing technical precision and craftsmanship of the highest caliber.

Throughout the project, Andrea D’Alessio and The Inspirata Group managed every aspect of design and construction, overseeing architectural restoration, interior finishes, furniture, cabinetry, and landscaping. Many elements were sourced from European artisans, while the estate’s architectural stonework was produced by master craftsmen whose work also appears at prestigious institutions, including Yale, Princeton, and West Point.

The estate features ten individually designed bedrooms, grand ceremonial halls, Venetian and neoclassical living spaces, a Roman-inspired bathhouse, and a monumental sculptural relief weighing over 12,000 pounds integrated directly into the structure. The combination of historic architecture, modern systems, and custom finishes positions the property as one of the most significant restored estates on New York’s Gold Coast.

The project demonstrates The Inspirata Group’s capability to manage large-scale historic restorations while preserving original craftsmanship and elevating estates to modern luxury standards. By combining rigorous architectural restoration with contemporary design and technical innovation, the estate serves as a model for blending historic preservation with modern functionality.

The restored property stands today as a crown jewel of Long Island, showcasing the vision, precision, and expertise of Andrea D’Alessio and his team at The Inspirata Group, and reaffirming the firm’s reputation as a leader in ultra-luxury residential construction and design.
