The jaw-dropping mansion belonging to Moore and Kevin Bacon's characters, Michaela and Peter Kell, is not a mansion at all. In reality, the imposing property shown throughout the Netflix series is the Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve. Built in 1921, this historic estate originally served as a country club and hunting preserve before becoming a New York State park headquarters.Through meticulous use of CGI, producers morphed the property's stately brick and stone into a modern Cape Cod-style estate complete with sleek architecture, a glossy black facade, and an elegant pool, none of which exist in real life. The home features prominently in Sirens , where it functions as a social hub for the show's elite characters. In real life, the estate remains a serene filming location and preserved piece of Long Island history, surrounded by lush forest and stunning coastal views.
