Stainless steel appliances and a center island are also part of the kitchen's design. The master bedroom is in the second floor of the turret. From here, you can see for miles, the agent adds. Other interior features include wood floors, vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting and a fireplace. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outside, there's a Trex deck. Amenities include a generator that can operate 95 percent of the house. Taxes are $11,713. Pamela Hogrefe and Janet Bidwell, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, 631-834-2341 and 631-255-4088, respectively

Massapequa

90 Riviera Dr.

$2.99 million

Overlooking Great South Bay, the turret in this Dutch Colonial is occupied by a Clive Christian-designed eat-in kitchen and a second-floor office. In the kitchen, the owners maximized the water view by placing a pedestal table in front of the turret's windows. About 800 square feet, this room also features a six-burner Wolf Stove with a deep fryer, two Wolf ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Sub-Zero wine cooler. Upstairs in the turret, the office with a view is graced by a fireplace -- one of four in the house. Adorned with handcrafted moldings and raised paneling, the layout also includes a foyer with an oak staircase, a library, a great room overlooking the bay, as well as four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half-baths, including the master suite's. The third floor of the turret is used as a gym. Outside, there is an in-ground gunite pool, a teak deck and Japanese slate patio. A pier and a floating dock -- about 90-feet -- has a boat lift and two stations for Jet Skis. Taxes are $44,133. Joan Harley, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, 516-799-7857
