11,031 Sf Waterfront Estate On Two Private Acres In Hewlett Bay Park

Known as the Snapple house, 1245 Veeder Drive has stood as one of Hewlett Bay Parks most coveted addresses for decades — an 11,031-square-foot waterfront estate on two private acres across a rare double lot that simply cannot be recreated in today’s market. Originally built by one of the founders of Snapple, the property bears the mark of serious construction: a hand-laid slate roof, architecture by Norman Wax, and execution by Qualico Contracting. The result is a home built without compromise — and held for over three decades by the same family. Inside, the residence spans three levels with elevator access and is organized around water views and entertainment. A dedicated entertaining wing includes a bar and temperature-controlled wine cellar. The primary suite is positioned toward the harbor, with dual walk-in closets and a spa bath with soaking tub and sauna. Five bedrooms in total. The grounds are what set this property apart. The full two acres — across a genuine double lot, a combination nearly impossible to assemble in Hewlett Bay Park — extend to the water with a private dock with 240 feet of frontage, manicured lawns, and formal gardens. A separate poolside cabana operates as a self-contained retreat, with a full kitchen, changing rooms, bathroom, and sauna. Properties like this do not come to market often and when they do, they do not come back.
