A New Beginning in Glen Head
In 2022, Joe and Bessy Gatto embarked on a fresh chapter with the purchase of a spacious residence in Glen Head, New York. This thoughtfully chosen home became more than just a place to live—it became a sanctuary for their evolving family life.
Blending privacy with open-concept living, the property was designed with their two children, Milana and Remington, in mind—as well as the beloved pets that are a central part of the Gatto household.
The home’s modern design prioritizes comfort and connection, offering generous spaces that invite moments of bonding and relaxation. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light, bringing warmth and a sense of calm to the family’s daily life.
Outdoors, the expansive grounds offer both room to play and quiet corners for retreat, making it the perfect backdrop for both energetic afternoons and peaceful evenings.
Above all, this Glen Head home stands as a reflection of Joe and Bessy’s enduring commitment to family, healing, and growth—a space where love, laughter, and renewal continue to flourish.
Roots in Lynbrook
Before making Glen Head their home, Joe and Bessy Gatto built the foundation of their family life in the lively town of Lynbrook, New York. It was in this charming suburban setting that their journey as a young couple truly began.
When they first moved into the Lynbrook residence, it was just the two of them and their two playful puppies. But over time, that cozy home witnessed the arrival of their two children—and a growing pack of four furry companions.
As their family blossomed, so did their need for space and function. The Lynbrook home adapted beautifully, with rooms tailored to the needs of a young, expanding household. It became a place filled with milestones, memories, and meaningful firsts—a true launching pad for the life they continue to build today.
Lynbrook became a special place for the Gattos, with a supportive community that contributed to the family’s sense of belonging.
Joe expressed his appreciation for the neighborhood, sharing his fond memories of the area and its people before their move to Glen Head.
Their time in Lynbrook will always hold sentimental value, as it marked a significant chapter in their lives.
